The tenured engineers of 2022

The School of Engineering has announced that MIT has granted tenure to 14 members of its faculty in the departments of Biological Engineering, Civil and Environmental Engineering, Electrical Engineering and Computer Science (which reports jointly to the School of Engineering and MIT Schwarzman College of Computing), Materials Science and Engineering, and Mechanical Engineering. "I am truly amazed by our newest cohort of tenured faculty," says Anantha Chandrakasan, dean of the School of Engineering and the Vannevar Bush Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. "They are a diverse group of educators and scholars whose research and commitment to teaching has had a tremendous impact on our community, in the classroom, as well as in the lab." This year's newly tenured associate professors are: Guy Bresler, an associate professor of electrical engineering and computer science, conducts research at the interface of information theory, statistics, theoretical computer science, and probability. His work aims to understand the fundamental interplay between information properties, computational complexity, and combinatorial structure in modern statistical inference problems.
