Computer science deals with the theory and practice of algorithms, from idealized mathematical procedures to the computer systems deployed by major tech companies to answer billions of user requests per day.

Primary subareas of this field include: theory, which uses rigorous math to test algorithms’ applicability to certain problems; systems, which develops the underlying hardware and software upon which applications can be implemented; and human-computer interaction, which studies how to make computer systems more effectively meet the needs of real people. The products of all three subareas are applied across science, engineering, medicine, and the social sciences. Computer science drives interdisciplinary collaboration both across MIT and beyond, helping users address the critical societal problems of our era, including opportunity access, climate change, disease, inequality and polarization.

Research areas

Our goal is to develop AI technologies that will change the landscape of healthcare. This includes early diagnostics, drug discovery, care personalization and management. Building on MIT’s pioneering history in artificial intelligence and life sciences, we are working on algorithms suitable for modeling biological and clinical data across a range of modalities including imaging, text and genomics.

Our research covers a wide range of topics of this fast-evolving field, advancing how machines learn, predict, and control, while also making them secure, robust and trustworthy. Research covers both the theory and applications of ML. This broad area studies ML theory (algorithms, optimization, …), statistical learning (inference, graphical models, causal analysis, …), deep learning, reinforcement learning, symbolic reasoning ML systems, as well as diverse hardware implementations of ML.

We develop the next generation of wired and wireless communications systems, from new physical principles (e.g., light, terahertz waves) to coding and information theory, and everything in between.

We bring some of the most powerful tools in computation to bear on design problems, including modeling, simulation, processing and fabrication.

We design the next generation of computer systems. Working at the intersection of hardware and software, our research studies how to best implement computation in the physical world. We design processors that are faster, more efficient, easier to program, and secure. Our research covers systems of all scales, from tiny Internet-of-Things devices with ultra-low-power consumption to high-performance servers and datacenters that power planet-scale online services. We design both general-purpose processors and accelerators that are specialized to particular application domains, like machine learning and storage. We also design Electronic Design Automation (EDA) tools to facilitate the development of such systems.

Educational technology combines both hardware and software to enact global change, making education accessible in unprecedented ways to new audiences. We develop the technology that makes better understanding possible.

The shared mission of Visual Computing is to connect images and computation, spanning topics such as image and video generation and analysis, photography, human perception, touch, applied geometry, and more.

The focus of our research in Human-Computer Interaction (HCI) is inventing new systems and technology that lie at the interface between people and computation, and understanding their design, implementation, and societal impact.

We develop new approaches to programming, whether that takes the form of programming languages, tools, or methodologies to improve many aspects of applications and systems infrastructure.

Our work focuses on developing the next substrate of computing, communication and sensing. We work all the way from new materials to superconducting devices to quantum computers to theory.

Our research focuses on robotic hardware and algorithms, from sensing to control to perception to manipulation.

Our research is focused on making future computer systems more secure. We bring together a broad spectrum of cross-cutting techniques for security, from theoretical cryptography and programming-language ideas, to low-level hardware and operating-systems security, to overall system designs and empirical bug-finding. We apply these techniques to a wide range of application domains, such as blockchains, cloud systems, Internet privacy, machine learning, and IoT devices, reflecting the growing importance of security in many contexts.

From distributed systems and databases to wireless, the research conducted by the systems and networking group aims to improve the performance, robustness, and ease of management of networks and computing systems.

Theory of Computation (TOC) studies the fundamental strengths and limits of computation, how these strengths and limits interact with computer science and mathematics, and how they manifest themselves in society, biology, and the physical world.

Hiring CS Graduates: What We Learned from Employers

Computer science ( CS ) majors are in high demand and account for a large part of national computer and information technology job market applicants. Employment in this sector is projected to grow 12% between 2018 and 2028, which is faster than the average of all other occupations. Published data are available on traditional non-computer science-specific hiring processes. However, the hiring process for CS majors may be different. It is critical to have up-to-date information on questions such as “what positions are in high demand for CS majors?,” “what is a typical hiring process?,” and “what do employers say they look for when hiring CS graduates?” This article discusses the analysis of a survey of 218 recruiters hiring CS graduates in the United States. We used Atlas.ti to analyze qualitative survey data and report the results on what positions are in the highest demand, the hiring process, and the resume review process. Our study revealed that a software developer was the most common job the recruiters were looking to fill. We found that the hiring process steps for CS graduates are generally aligned with traditional hiring steps, with an additional emphasis on technical and coding tests. Recruiters reported that their hiring choices were based on reviewing resume’s experience, GPA, and projects sections. The results provide insights into the hiring process, decision making, resume analysis, and some discrepancies between current undergraduate CS program outcomes and employers’ expectations.

A Systematic Literature Review of Empiricism and Norms of Reporting in Computing Education Research Literature

Context. Computing Education Research (CER) is critical to help the computing education community and policy makers support the increasing population of students who need to learn computing skills for future careers. For a community to systematically advance knowledge about a topic, the members must be able to understand published work thoroughly enough to perform replications, conduct meta-analyses, and build theories. There is a need to understand whether published research allows the CER community to systematically advance knowledge and build theories. Objectives. The goal of this study is to characterize the reporting of empiricism in Computing Education Research literature by identifying whether publications include content necessary for researchers to perform replications, meta-analyses, and theory building. We answer three research questions related to this goal: (RQ1) What percentage of papers in CER venues have some form of empirical evaluation? (RQ2) Of the papers that have empirical evaluation, what are the characteristics of the empirical evaluation? (RQ3) Of the papers that have empirical evaluation, do they follow norms (both for inclusion and for labeling of information needed for replication, meta-analysis, and, eventually, theory-building) for reporting empirical work? Methods. We conducted a systematic literature review of the 2014 and 2015 proceedings or issues of five CER venues: Technical Symposium on Computer Science Education (SIGCSE TS), International Symposium on Computing Education Research (ICER), Conference on Innovation and Technology in Computer Science Education (ITiCSE), ACM Transactions on Computing Education (TOCE), and Computer Science Education (CSE). We developed and applied the CER Empiricism Assessment Rubric to the 427 papers accepted and published at these venues over 2014 and 2015. Two people evaluated each paper using the Base Rubric for characterizing the paper. An individual person applied the other rubrics to characterize the norms of reporting, as appropriate for the paper type. Any discrepancies or questions were discussed between multiple reviewers to resolve. Results. We found that over 80% of papers accepted across all five venues had some form of empirical evaluation. Quantitative evaluation methods were the most frequently reported. Papers most frequently reported results on interventions around pedagogical techniques, curriculum, community, or tools. There was a split in papers that had some type of comparison between an intervention and some other dataset or baseline. Most papers reported related work, following the expectations for doing so in the SIGCSE and CER community. However, many papers were lacking properly reported research objectives, goals, research questions, or hypotheses; description of participants; study design; data collection; and threats to validity. These results align with prior surveys of the CER literature. Conclusions. CER authors are contributing empirical results to the literature; however, not all norms for reporting are met. We encourage authors to provide clear, labeled details about their work so readers can use the study methodologies and results for replications and meta-analyses. As our community grows, our reporting of CER should mature to help establish computing education theory to support the next generation of computing learners.

Light Diacritic Restoration to Disambiguate Homographs in Modern Arabic Texts

Diacritic restoration (also known as diacritization or vowelization) is the process of inserting the correct diacritical markings into a text. Modern Arabic is typically written without diacritics, e.g., newspapers. This lack of diacritical markings often causes ambiguity, and though natives are adept at resolving, there are times they may fail. Diacritic restoration is a classical problem in computer science. Still, as most of the works tackle the full (heavy) diacritization of text, we, however, are interested in diacritizing the text using a fewer number of diacritics. Studies have shown that a fully diacritized text is visually displeasing and slows down the reading. This article proposes a system to diacritize homographs using the least number of diacritics, thus the name “light.” There is a large class of words that fall under the homograph category, and we will be dealing with the class of words that share the spelling but not the meaning. With fewer diacritics, we do not expect any effect on reading speed, while eye strain is reduced. The system contains morphological analyzer and context similarities. The morphological analyzer is used to generate all word candidates for diacritics. Then, through a statistical approach and context similarities, we resolve the homographs. Experimentally, the system shows very promising results, and our best accuracy is 85.6%.

A genre-based analysis of questions and comments in Q&A sessions after conference paper presentations in computer science

Gender diversity in computer science at a large public r1 research university: reporting on a self-study.

With the number of jobs in computer occupations on the rise, there is a greater need for computer science (CS) graduates than ever. At the same time, most CS departments across the country are only seeing 25–30% of women students in their classes, meaning that we are failing to draw interest from a large portion of the population. In this work, we explore the gender gap in CS at Rutgers University–New Brunswick, a large public R1 research university, using three data sets that span thousands of students across six academic years. Specifically, we combine these data sets to study the gender gaps in four core CS courses and explore the correlation of several factors with retention and the impact of these factors on changes to the gender gap as students proceed through the CS courses toward completing the CS major. For example, we find that a significant percentage of women students taking the introductory CS1 course for majors do not intend to major in CS, which may be a contributing factor to a large increase in the gender gap immediately after CS1. This finding implies that part of the retention task is attracting these women students to further explore the major. Results from our study include both novel findings and findings that are consistent with known challenges for increasing gender diversity in CS. In both cases, we provide extensive quantitative data in support of the findings.

Designing for Student-Directedness: How K–12 Teachers Utilize Peers to Support Projects

Student-directed projects—projects in which students have individual control over what they create and how to create it—are a promising practice for supporting the development of conceptual understanding and personal interest in K–12 computer science classrooms. In this article, we explore a central (and perhaps counterintuitive) design principle identified by a group of K–12 computer science teachers who support student-directed projects in their classrooms: in order for students to develop their own ideas and determine how to pursue them, students must have opportunities to engage with other students’ work. In this qualitative study, we investigated the instructional practices of 25 K–12 teachers using a series of in-depth, semi-structured interviews to develop understandings of how they used peer work to support student-directed projects in their classrooms. Teachers described supporting their students in navigating three stages of project development: generating ideas, pursuing ideas, and presenting ideas. For each of these three stages, teachers considered multiple factors to encourage engagement with peer work in their classrooms, including the quality and completeness of shared work and the modes of interaction with the work. We discuss how this pedagogical approach offers students new relationships to their own learning, to their peers, and to their teachers and communicates important messages to students about their own competence and agency, potentially contributing to aims within computer science for broadening participation.

Creativity in CS1: A Literature Review

Computer science is a fast-growing field in today’s digitized age, and working in this industry often requires creativity and innovative thought. An issue within computer science education, however, is that large introductory programming courses often involve little opportunity for creative thinking within coursework. The undergraduate introductory programming course (CS1) is notorious for its poor student performance and retention rates across multiple institutions. Integrating opportunities for creative thinking may help combat this issue by adding a personal touch to course content, which could allow beginner CS students to better relate to the abstract world of programming. Research on the role of creativity in computer science education (CSE) is an interesting area with a lot of room for exploration due to the complexity of the phenomenon of creativity as well as the CSE research field being fairly new compared to some other education fields where this topic has been more closely explored. To contribute to this area of research, this article provides a literature review exploring the concept of creativity as relevant to computer science education and CS1 in particular. Based on the review of the literature, we conclude creativity is an essential component to computer science, and the type of creativity that computer science requires is in fact, a teachable skill through the use of various tools and strategies. These strategies include the integration of open-ended assignments, large collaborative projects, learning by teaching, multimedia projects, small creative computational exercises, game development projects, digitally produced art, robotics, digital story-telling, music manipulation, and project-based learning. Research on each of these strategies and their effects on student experiences within CS1 is discussed in this review. Last, six main components of creativity-enhancing activities are identified based on the studies about incorporating creativity into CS1. These components are as follows: Collaboration, Relevance, Autonomy, Ownership, Hands-On Learning, and Visual Feedback. The purpose of this article is to contribute to computer science educators’ understanding of how creativity is best understood in the context of computer science education and explore practical applications of creativity theory in CS1 classrooms. This is an important collection of information for restructuring aspects of future introductory programming courses in creative, innovative ways that benefit student learning.

CATS: Customizable Abstractive Topic-based Summarization

Neural sequence-to-sequence models are the state-of-the-art approach used in abstractive summarization of textual documents, useful for producing condensed versions of source text narratives without being restricted to using only words from the original text. Despite the advances in abstractive summarization, custom generation of summaries (e.g., towards a user’s preference) remains unexplored. In this article, we present CATS, an abstractive neural summarization model that summarizes content in a sequence-to-sequence fashion while also introducing a new mechanism to control the underlying latent topic distribution of the produced summaries. We empirically illustrate the efficacy of our model in producing customized summaries and present findings that facilitate the design of such systems. We use the well-known CNN/DailyMail dataset to evaluate our model. Furthermore, we present a transfer-learning method and demonstrate the effectiveness of our approach in a low resource setting, i.e., abstractive summarization of meetings minutes, where combining the main available meetings’ transcripts datasets, AMI and International Computer Science Institute(ICSI) , results in merely a few hundred training documents.

Toward a code-breaking quantum computer

Press contact :.

The most recent email you sent was likely encrypted using a tried-and-true method that relies on the idea that even the fastest computer would be unable to efficiently break a gigantic number into factors.

Quantum computers, on the other hand, promise to rapidly crack complex cryptographic systems that a classical computer might never be able to unravel. This promise is based on a quantum factoring algorithm proposed in 1994 by Peter Shor , who is now a professor at MIT.

But while researchers have taken great strides in the last 30 years, scientists have yet to build a quantum computer powerful enough to run Shor’s algorithm.

As some researchers work to build larger quantum computers, others have been trying to improve Shor’s algorithm so it could run on a smaller quantum circuit. About a year ago, New York University computer scientist Oded Regev proposed a major theoretical improvement . His algorithm could run faster, but the circuit would require more memory.

Building off those results, MIT researchers have proposed a best-of-both-worlds approach that combines the speed of Regev’s algorithm with the memory-efficiency of Shor’s. This new algorithm is as fast as Regev’s, requires fewer quantum building blocks known as qubits, and has a higher tolerance to quantum noise, which could make it more feasible to implement in practice.

In the long run, this new algorithm could inform the development of novel encryption methods that can withstand the code-breaking power of quantum computers.

“If large-scale quantum computers ever get built, then factoring is toast and we have to find something else to use for cryptography. But how real is this threat? Can we make quantum factoring practical? Our work could potentially bring us one step closer to a practical implementation,” says Vinod Vaikuntanathan, the Ford Foundation Professor of Engineering, a member of the Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL), and senior author of a paper describing the algorithm .

The paper’s lead author is Seyoon Ragavan, a graduate student in the MIT Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science. The research will be presented at the 2024 International Cryptology Conference.

Cracking cryptography

To securely transmit messages over the internet, service providers like email clients and messaging apps typically rely on RSA, an encryption scheme invented by MIT researchers Ron Rivest, Adi Shamir, and Leonard Adleman in the 1970s (hence the name “RSA”). The system is based on the idea that factoring a 2,048-bit integer (a number with 617 digits) is too hard for a computer to do in a reasonable amount of time.

That idea was flipped on its head in 1994 when Shor, then working at Bell Labs, introduced an algorithm which proved that a quantum computer could factor quickly enough to break RSA cryptography.

“That was a turning point. But in 1994, nobody knew how to build a large enough quantum computer. And we’re still pretty far from there. Some people wonder if they will ever be built,” says Vaikuntanathan.

It is estimated that a quantum computer would need about 20 million qubits to run Shor’s algorithm. Right now, the largest quantum computers have around 1,100 qubits.

A quantum computer performs computations using quantum circuits, just like a classical computer uses classical circuits. Each quantum circuit is composed of a series of operations known as quantum gates. These quantum gates utilize qubits, which are the smallest building blocks of a quantum computer, to perform calculations.

But quantum gates introduce noise, so having fewer gates would improve a machine’s performance. Researchers have been striving to enhance Shor’s algorithm so it could be run on a smaller circuit with fewer quantum gates.

That is precisely what Regev did with the circuit he proposed a year ago.

“That was big news because it was the first real improvement to Shor’s circuit from 1994,” Vaikuntanathan says.

The quantum circuit Shor proposed has a size proportional to the square of the number being factored. That means if one were to factor a 2,048-bit integer, the circuit would need millions of gates.

Regev’s circuit requires significantly fewer quantum gates, but it needs many more qubits to provide enough memory. This presents a new problem.

“In a sense, some types of qubits are like apples or oranges. If you keep them around, they decay over time. You want to minimize the number of qubits you need to keep around,” explains Vaikuntanathan.

He heard Regev speak about his results at a workshop last August. At the end of his talk, Regev posed a question: Could someone improve his circuit so it needs fewer qubits? Vaikuntanathan and Ragavan took up that question.

Quantum ping-pong

To factor a very large number, a quantum circuit would need to run many times, performing operations that involve computing powers, like 2 to the power of 100.

But computing such large powers is costly and difficult to perform on a quantum computer, since quantum computers can only perform reversible operations. Squaring a number is not a reversible operation, so each time a number is squared, more quantum memory must be added to compute the next square.

The MIT researchers found a clever way to compute exponents using a series of Fibonacci numbers that requires simple multiplication, which is reversible, rather than squaring. Their method needs just two quantum memory units to compute any exponent.

“It is kind of like a ping-pong game, where we start with a number and then bounce back and forth, multiplying between two quantum memory registers,” Vaikuntanathan adds.

They also tackled the challenge of error correction. The circuits proposed by Shor and Regev require every quantum operation to be correct for their algorithm to work, Vaikuntanathan says. But error-free quantum gates would be infeasible on a real machine.

They overcame this problem using a technique to filter out corrupt results and only process the right ones.

The end-result is a circuit that is significantly more memory-efficient. Plus, their error correction technique would make the algorithm more practical to deploy.

“The authors resolve the two most important bottlenecks in the earlier quantum factoring algorithm. Although still not immediately practical, their work brings quantum factoring algorithms closer to reality,” adds Regev.

In the future, the researchers hope to make their algorithm even more efficient and, someday, use it to test factoring on a real quantum circuit.

“The elephant-in-the-room question after this work is: Does it actually bring us closer to breaking RSA cryptography? That is not clear just yet; these improvements currently only kick in when the integers are much larger than 2,048 bits. Can we push this algorithm and make it more feasible than Shor’s even for 2,048-bit integers?” says Ragavan.

This work is funded by an Akamai Presidential Fellowship, the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, the National Science Foundation, the MIT-IBM Watson AI Lab, a Thornton Family Faculty Research Innovation Fellowship, and a Simons Investigator Award.

Course-based Undergraduate Research Experiences (CUREs) bring the excitement of research into the classroom to improve learning and the sense of belonging in the field. They can reach more students, earlier in their studies, than typical undergraduate research. Key aspects are: students learn and use research methods, give input into the project, generate new research data, and analyze it to draw conclusions that are not known beforehand. CUREs are common in other fields but have been rare in materials science and engineering. I propose a paradigm for computational material science CUREs, enabled by web-based simulation tools from nanoHUB.org that require minimal computational skills. After preparatory exercises, students each calculate part of a set of closely related materials, following a defined protocol to contribute to a novel class dataset which they analyze, and also calculate an additional property of their choice. This approach has been used successfully in several class projects.

Introduction

A Course-based Undergraduate Research Experience (CURE) is an educational paradigm that brings the excitement of research into the classroom [ 1 , 2 ]. Key aspects of a CURE, in contrast to traditional “cookbook” or verification-oriented laboratory exercises, are: students learning and using research methods, having input into the project, generating new research data, and analyzing it to draw conclusions that are not known beforehand [ 1 , 3 ]. Research studies have shown that the CURE paradigm improves learning and motivation, promotes independent thinking, and increases retention of students in the major and STEM study. In fact, a CURE can affect attitudes and motivation sometimes as much as a full summer research experience [ 1 , 4 ]. CUREs also give students an opportunity to apply their knowledge and get a taste of research. Instructors can make use of CURE best practices and how-to guides that have been developed [ 1 , 2 ], and a clearinghouse of CURE activities at CUREnet [ 5 ]. While CUREs have become popular in biology [ 4 ] and to a lesser extent chemistry [ 2 ], they remain rare or absent in materials science and engineering, as well as condensed-matter physics. This article proposes a paradigm for CUREs using computational materials science, to enhance curricula and broaden participation in undergraduate research in the materials science and engineering community.

Many students who begin as science and engineering majors end up not continuing in the field after graduation, or even leaving the major [ 6 ]. This is particularly the case for under-represented minorities (URMs) or minoritized students, who often feel a lack of support [ 7 ]. A proven approach to improve persistence and retention is to help students identify as scientists, feel a sense of belonging, and experience what real research is like [ 1 , 4 ]. Participation in a CURE brings the excitement of research into the classroom, and allows students to experience doing real science. This helps promote the sense of belonging to a STEM community of practice as a budding scientist, which is particularly important for URMs [ 1 , 7 ]. Studies have found that CUREs are particularly beneficial for URMs [ 4 , 8 , 9 ]. Introduction to research in the CURE helps transition students to summer research opportunities and possible senior thesis research. Open-ended experimental projects incorporated into an introductory materials science class were found to improve students’ knowledge gain and skills [ 10 ], though—unlike a CURE—these research-like projects were not necessarily designed to create new knowledge.

Computation is a particularly suitable kind of research for a CURE. Computation can be used to bridge between the simple models commonly studied in introductory classes and more complicated real materials. It can be cheap, well-defined, and easily reproducible, which is not necessarily the case for experimental work. In the specific case of atomistic simulations in materials science, it is easy to get to the frontiers of knowledge: given the vast space of materials, even slight changes to the structure and composition almost certainly lead to something that has not been previously studied. CUREs have generally been wet-lab activities, and there are few computational examples (e.g., bioinformatics [ 11 ]). Some other group projects in computational materials, which may have some of the aspects of a CURE, have been run in a graduate condensed-matter summer school and an undergraduate/graduate chemistry class, resulting in research articles [ 12 ] and [ 13 ], respectively.

Computational work has become ubiquitous in research, but the typical workflow can feel quite daunting to undergraduates (Linux, compiling, running jobs, etc.). Excitingly, advances in codes and technology now enable some research-grade computation to be fast and accessible enough for an undergraduate course. The nanoHUB project [ 14 ] provides a convenient platform for real computations with simple graphical user interfaces (GUIs) that run in a web browser. The GUIs (“tools”), created for various codes by expert users, abstract away extraneous details that create a barrier, allowing direct engagement with the key ideas. The GUI creates input files based on student-specified simulation parameters, and then launches the calculations in the cloud on remote clusters, removing the need for any specialized or powerful hardware. After the run, the nanoHUB tools analyze output, and organize and plot key results (Fig. 1 ). While numerous courses use nanoHUB (e.g., [ 15 ]), I am not aware of use in a CURE other than my projects mentioned below.

In this article, I describe a paradigm for designing CUREs in computational materials science. Depending on instructional needs and capacity, a CURE can be focused on a single lab session or assignment, take the form of a culminating final project, or even constitute the entirety of a course. Students use nanoHUB to calculate each of a set of structures, forming a class dataset which they analyze along with their individual results. CUREs not only enhance the student experience but can also help instructors in their research and serve as compelling components on broader impacts or education for instructors’ grant proposals.

Example calculation in nanoHUB graphical user interface of MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit [ 16 ]: calculation of graphene/hBN superlattice heterostructure, by density-functional theory in Quantum ESPRESSO [ 17 ]

Materials and methods

The nanoHUB project provides a large number of different tools that implement various kinds of simulations, including not only atomistic simulations but also electronic device, nanomechanical device, and biomolecular sensing simulations. The GUIs enable students to perform calculations without requiring deep knowledge of computational materials science. Here I will focus on the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit [ 16 ], which I co-developed and which is used at many institutions around the world. It is based on open-source codes that are commonly used by researchers: it can run first-principles density-functional theory (DFT) calculations on materials with the pseudo-atomic orbital code SIESTA and the plane-wave code Quantum ESPRESSO [ 17 ]; DFT and quantum chemistry on molecules with the Gaussian-type orbital code GAMESS [ 18 ]; and classical molecular dynamics (MD) in the LAMMPS code [ 19 ] (e.g., for carbon nanostructures with Tersoff potentials). The DFT tools can provide relaxed structure, energy, density of states, band gap, bandstructure, wavefunctions, Kohn-Sham potential, electronic density, phonon bandstructure and density of states, Raman and infrared spectra, and phonon displacement patterns. MD can provide the relaxed structure or trajectories, radial distribution functions, and power spectra of vibrations. The toolkit integrates visualization with XCrySDen [ 20 ] and Jmol codes, to study crystal and molecular structures, phonon displacement patterns, wavefunctions, densities, potentials, Fermi surfaces, and Brillouin zones. The restricted input options in this GUI help in specifying a detailed protocol for students to use to ensure appropriate and systematic results in the resulting dataset. The author and his former PhD student Enrique Guerrero have presented a series of webinars [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] for nanoHUB, with accompanying handouts to follow along in the simulations [ 25 ], which can help to inform use of the tool and how it can be employed for a CURE.

The key steps of this computational CURE paradigm are laid out in Table 1 . To design a CURE, the instructor should choose a research question that can be answered by students’ calculations with the toolkit, and which will involve desired calculation methods or course concepts. The instructor selects a set of materials structures, which will be divided up among the students (e.g., one each). Structures can be selected using databases such as the Materials Project [ 26 ], and results can even be contributed back to the database. Generally it is not feasible for the students to select the research question and materials, because deep expert knowledge is required to design an authentically novel research study.

Some ideas for generating a suitable materials space include alloys (enumerating symmetry-unique structures within a certain supercell for different concentrations), dopants, polymorphs, surfaces, and interfaces or heterojunctions between different materials. Each of these allows a combinatorial construction of a set of similar materials for the students to study. The research question could involve trying to maximize or minimize some property (e.g., find which alloy structure is most stable), or the analysis of some global property of the data set (e.g., find how the band gap varies with alloy composition). To analyze the data, students apply their knowledge of course concepts, and could use analytical models (e.g., Vegard’s Law) or potentially more sophisticated informatics or machine-learning approaches. The instructor (or research group members) should run one or more examples in detail to verify the workflow and be aware of potential problems, which may sometimes occur in only some items of the set—two examples confronted in my CURE with Quantum ESPRESSO were (1) incomplete variable-cell relaxations with residual stress and (2) imaginary phonon frequencies that were later attributed to the pseudopotential. Of course, the only way to completely exclude such problems is to do all the students’ calculations beforehand, which defeats the purpose of a CURE.

The CURE begins with one or more lectures which introduce the research question, show what remains unknown, and indicate how the CURE studies fit into a cutting-edge research project. Theory and needed concepts for running the code and analyzing results are also explained. Plans can be described for following up interesting findings with further calculations and/or experiments. In some cases, teaching-assistant training may also be needed. A detailed lab manual with instructions (e.g., [ 27 ]) is given to the students. Ideally, the lab manual will be tested with undergraduates before use in class to identify and improve on points of confusion or technical problems which can occur. In some cases, I have also engaged in further development of the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit to provide new functionality needed for the CURE. I will focus on the use of a CURE as a final project, which can be the most impactful to deploy within an existing course, since it enables students to have an extensive preparation period and then spend substantial time on the project. In-class demonstrations can introduce the usage of nanoHUB. In discussion sections, students engage in nanoHUB exercises themed with the recent lecture materials, serving both to illustrate and deepen their understanding of the lecture concepts but also to gain experience with the tools. They can further apply this knowledge in homework assignments, for more detailed feedback from the instructor. It is highly recommended to have some key early stages of the project be carried out in homework (e.g., structural relaxation, before calculation of other properties later) to ensure that the instructor can point out and correct any potentially serious problems in students’ calculations at an early stage.

Then the students carry out their main calculations, following a carefully defined protocol, so that their results constitute a set of comparable data that the class can analyze. They submit their key results such as bandgaps to a repository (e.g., a common spreadsheet). It should be emphasized to students that when they analyze this data they should keep a close eye out for any anomalies in the data, which can be real physically interesting phenomena, artifacts due to sophisticated computational problems, or the result of trivial cut-and-paste mistakes. Students should submit not only key results but also all their raw input and output (which are downloadable from the tools in the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit, and many of the other nanoHUB tools) to a shared folder to make it possible for the instructor or other students to audit the calculations, and trace any errors or mistakes. As much as possible, students should identify and fix any anomalies.

The need for the defined protocol in creating the dataset should be balanced with a way of allowing the students to have input and agency in the project (one of the key aspects of a CURE), to be sure to give a flavor of the creative and open-ended aspects of research. I have done this in two ways: in a short CURE consisting of just a single lab session, students dig into further outputs and information provided by the code beyond those they were instructed to study by the lab manual, and are asked to report something interesting they found. Quite lively discussions can result in the lab session as they try to make sense of what they found and understand its significance. In a final-project CURE, instead I ask students, in an exploratory phase of the project, to identify another property to calculate and analyze. I offer some examples, and they should read a bit about a property and discuss with the instructor how they can extract such information. Calculations of response properties like elastic moduli by finite differences are a good example. To enable such exploratory phases, it is important that the tool should be rich enough to provide more information than the minimum of what is required in the project. Students then present or write in the final project about the meaning of their property, their approach to calculate it, and their results. Note that typically it would require more student knowledge than is attainable in the context of the course to make these additional property calculations constitute reliable research data.

After the CURE, there can be follow-up by members of the instructor’s research group (ideally even a student from the class as a summer researcher or postbac researcher), to confirm or refine the calculations and prepare them for publication or further directions of calculations or experiments. Such students can also work on improving the GUI and lab activity, or preparing to take the research question in a new direction for a coming year.

Improvement or adjustment of the CURE after each class should be informed by assessment. Enhanced learning of the class material can be assessed by analysis of students’ class work. To assess the effect on students’ attitudes and scientific thinking, two research-validated surveys are available: the Colorado Learning Attitudes about Science Survey (CLASS), a pre-/post-survey commonly used in introductory classes [ 28 ]; and the “CURE survey” [ 29 ], which includes assessing the feeling of community. The instructor’s observations of students at work in lab and discussion sections, questions and discussion with students, analysis of CURE assignments regarding what students did and did not understand or accomplish, and course evaluations can also be valuable sources of information. Confusing sections of the lab manual can be better explained, difficult concepts can be addressed more thoroughly in lecture, and limitations or awkward aspects of the tools may be avoided (or even fixed by the developers based on feedback).

Results and discussion

I have used the paradigm described here for four projects at the University of California, Merced (summarized in Table 2 ), beginning with graduate courses and refining the ideas over time. In fall 2017, I designed for my graduate Advanced Condensed Matter Physics class a final project on simulation of elastic properties of high-pressure phases of Si, using DFT and MD with Tersoff potentials in nanoHUB, and group theory to constrain the shape of the elastic tensor. In spring 2020, I designed for graduate Advanced Condensed Matter Physics a final project on strain effects on Raman spectra in 2H transition-metal dichalcogenides (TMDs), performed directly with Quantum ESPRESSO on a cluster. This work was presented at a conference [ 30 ], and a paper is in preparation. In fall 2021 and 2023, I ran for my undergraduate/graduate Condensed Matter Physics class a final project on the energy, structure, and Raman spectroscopy of 2D monolayer MoS $_{2x}$ Se $_{2(1-x)}$ alloys. Finally in fall 2022 and fall 2023, I ran for sophomore-level Modern Physics a lab session on in-plane heterostructures of 2H-TMDs [ 27 ], studied as examples of the particle in a box. These projects will be described in more detail in forthcoming work, regarding both pedagogy and scientific results. The final projects took a few weeks and the lab sessions took about 6 h, with students working in pairs. Assessment so far indicates that students generally found the CURE activities to be interesting and inspiring, and further assessment is ongoing.

This article has proposed a computational paradigm for CUREs in materials science and engineering, aiming to inspire instructors elsewhere in this field (and related areas of physics and chemistry) to incorporate CUREs into their course and curricula. A key enabling feature, to keep the focus on materials rather than on details of theory and computational methods, is the use of simplified GUIs from nanoHUB.org that can run research-grade codes via a browser on remote clusters without need for significant computational skills. A notable example is the MIT Atomic-Scale Modeling Toolkit which provides DFT and MD calculations. The calculations can be accessible for undergraduates, for both sophomore-level and upper-division classes. CUREs have positive effects on student attitudes and student learning, and help make undergraduate research more accessible and inclusive. From the instructor’s point of view, other benefits include using teaching time and effort to advance their research as an integrated activity, and the ability to use CUREs as an educational and broader impacts activity for grant proposals. Extensive guides on best practices in CUREs, as well as webinar content and teaching materials about this nanoHUB tool, are available to help design CUREs. I encourage instructors to adopt and adapt these ideas to bring CUREs into the field of materials science and engineering.

Two lemurs sit closely together on a tree branch, surveying their environment

Extending the reach and impact of science through signature research and innovation

The Everson lab studies Madagascan lemurs to explore how hybridization shapes genomes, species limits and the evolutionary trajectory of radiations (rapid increases in diversity).

The College of Science has a diverse portfolio of signature research, scholarship and innovation activities that enable our College to make fundamental and applied discoveries. To support society’s scientific challenges, we are invested in discovery-driven science and applied and transdisciplinary research. Our research intersects with all four research areas of priority outlined in OSU’s strategic plan, Prosperity Widely Shared .

Over the 2024 fiscal year (FY24: July 1, 2023 - June 30, 2024), the College of Science researchers received $18.5 million in research grants to support groundbreaking science. Most of that funding came from federal agencies and foundations in recognition of proposals with broad societal impacts, like increased human health, sustainable and clean energy and climate change mitigation. Our faculty pursue foundational and basic research projects and science education projects. Data science and Artificial Intelligence (AI) tools are increasingly becoming part of the fabric of much of our research. College of Science research expenditures in FY24 totaled $20.7 million.

The figure below illustrates the breakdown of funding sources for the College, with the National Science Foundation (NSF) and National Institutes of Health (NIH) each awarding about $5.1M.

Pie chart showing Science Research Funding, with details in the following caption

Research funding in 2023-24 ($18.5M total) comprised investments mostly from federal and state agencies, including the National Science Foundation (25.7%–$5.1M), National Institutes of Health (27.7%–$5.1M), Department of Energy and National Labs (9.3%–$1.5M), and others (8.8%—$1.6M). Additional funds were provided by other universities (9.5%—$1.7M), foundations (11.4%–$2.1M), foreign governments (0.2%–$40K) and industry (5.6%–$1M).

Research funding propels Team Science forward

Oregon State University is focused on big discoveries that drive big solutions. Many science faculty received grants last year in support of discovery-driven science, applied and transdisciplinary research science education and innovation in OSU’s priority research areas of integrated health and biotechnology, climate science and solutions, robotics, data science and AI, and clean energy and solutions. Below are some of the highlights—not including multi-year projects started before 2023.

Faculty honors

Astrophysicist Jeff Hazboun received a $73K Faculty Early Career Development award from the National Science Foundation. This prestigious NSF early career award is highly coveted by faculty! Hazboun’s project includes curriculum development and the implementation of a summer workshop in astrophysics-themed data analysis designed to foster inspired teaching, stimulate excitement in pulsar timing array research, facilitate the learning goals of undergraduate and graduate students, and support the community college students’ transition into four-year schools.

Mathematician Christine Escher received a $50,397 award from the NSF to host the Paciﬁc Northwest Geometry Seminar series over three years at various Pacific Northwest universities. Escher is the principal organizer of the conference. This award supports meetings of the Pacific Northwest Geometry Seminar (PNGS) , a regional meeting for researchers and educators of geometry, to be held at the University of British Columbia (2025), Seattle University (2026) and Lewis & Clark College (2027).

Integrated health & biotechnology

Materials scientist Kyriakos Stylianou , along with members of the College of Pharmacy and the College of Agricultural Science, received $2 million from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to develop improved ways of preventing stored potatoes from sprouting, particularly in the organic sector. Stylianou’s team studied nearly 200 different plant essential oils for their anti-sprouting effects. Oregon, Washington and Idaho produce more than 60% of the potatoes grown in the United States, and Pacific Northwest potato cultivation is a $2.2 billion industry.

Microbiologist Maude David is part of a multi-institution research team to receive a $4.3 million grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture to study European foulbrood disease (EFD) in honey bees. The group is investigating the factors contributing to the high incidence of infection, and will then share their findings with local beekeepers and growers to improve mitigation efforts. Beekeepers in Oregon typically pollinate about five different crops annually. If the colonies are weakened by EFD, this results in less pollination, which is a concern for blueberry and almond growers.

Evolutionary biologist Michael Blouin was awarded $1.86M over five years ($371K per year) from the National Institutes of Health for his project entitled, “Genetic mechanisms of snail/schistosome compatibility.” Schistosomes are water-borne blood-flukes transmitted by snails, which infect over 250 million people in more than 70 countries and cause severe and chronic disability. A debilitating helminth parasitic disease of humans, vaccines are available for schistosomiasis. This project will identify new genes that make some snails naturally resistant to infection by schistosomes, revealing potential new ways to reduce parasite transmission at the snail stage.

Statistician Robert Trangucci received $164K from the University of Michigan for his project entitled, “Data driven transmission models to optimize influenza vaccination and pandemic mitigation strategies.” Selection bias is common in infectious disease datasets due to complex observational and biological processes, and bias can arise from covariate data which is missing due to analytical limitations. The research team is addressing the concern by extending existing models to accommodate risk and data gaps over time for application in vaccination and other novel datasets.

Chemist Dipankar Koley received $542K from the National Institutes of Health for his project entitled, “Microenvironmental characterization and manipulation to prevent secondary caries.” A common reason for dental replacement is a recurrence of caries around existing restorations caused by microbial activity. The project seeks development of new and innovative materials to bias this microbial environment toward improved dental health, and the researchers are investigating the use of cations of magnesium and zinc applied with specialized release platforms.

Collaborative research at the interface of robotics, computer vision and AI

Statistician Yanming Di received $249K from the U.S. Department of Agriculture for a project entitled, “DeepSeed: A computer-vision network for onsite, real-time seed analysis.” The Willamette Valley is considered the “grass seed capital of the world.” Seed testing, used for determining seed lot quality and establishing seed value, is a fundamental phase of the agricultural marketing system. With recent advances in robotics, computer vision, and AI, an opportunity presents itself for a new wave of innovations. This project utilizes AI and robotics to innovate devices and protocols for sampling grass seeds and a computer vision system for automated seed analysis. The investigators consist of experts in seed services, computer vision, statistics, and mechanical engineering.

California mussels at low tide, covered in barnacles

Mytilus californianus (the California mussel) is prey for many predator species, serves as a filter for ocean particulate, and harbors hundreds of other species. Threats to this normally resilient foundation species represent risks to the entire local marine ecology.

Climate science and related solutions

Materials scientist Kyriakos Stylianou received $689K from Saudi Aramco for a project entitled “New Generation of CO2 Capture Adsorbents: Synthesis, Performance under Humid Conditions, and Scaleup.” In this project, the Stylianou group aims to discover novel adsorbents for the selective capture of CO2 from diluted sources. Successful materials will undergo scaling up and evaluation for their efficacy in removing CO2 from air.

Marine ecologist Bruce Menge received $200K from the National Science Foundation for his project entitled, “RAPID: A subtle epidemic: unique mortality of Mytilus californianus on the Oregon coast.”

The research team is investigating the major changes occurring in the Pacific Northwest marine ecosystems, with evidence these communities exhibit low resilience to climate change. For example, sessile invertebrates (mussels, barnacles, etc) become more abundant while seaweed species (kelp, etc) decline.

Evolutionary biologist Kathryn Everson received two awards for $276K from the University of Kentucky Research Foundation for a project entitled, “The role of hybridization in generating biodiversity: Insights from genomics of Madagascar’s true lemurs (Eulemur).” This project is funded by the NSF to understand how new species form in the context of complex gene flow and to expose the genomic signatures of evolutionary processes. The researchers will characterize patterns of gene flow, selection, and genome architecture for a species of lemur to gain a genomic perspective on the evolution of species boundaries. In addition, the team will construct a hybridization model using data on geographic range, diet, and social behavior for this lemur.

Clean energy and related solutions

Aerosol chemist Alison Bain received $284K from McGill University for her project entitled, “Single particle measurements.” This research aims to understand the optical properties of stratospheric aerosols. Using single particle experiments under environmentally relevant temperatures and humidities, the team will extend a wavelength-dependent refractive index model to include these conditions. They are also looking at how atmospheric aging impacts the optical properties of these materials.

Chemist Wei Kong received $110K from the American Chemical Society for her project entitled, “Superfluid helium droplets as microreactors for studies of photochemistry of fossil fuel hydrocarbons: polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and the corresponding endoperoxides.” The project will use superfluid helium droplets as microreactors to investigate the kinetics of the photooxidation process of a major component of petroleum (polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, PAH). Using several analytical techniques, the team will test the hypothesis that supercooling the helium droplets will stabilize an excited state of the oxygen molecule and prevent further reactions.

Collaborative partnerships to fuel a thriving world

Biochemist Ryan Mehl received $234K from the NobleReach Foundation in partnership with the National Science Foundation. The project “Ideal eukaryotic tetrazine ligations for imaging protein dynamics in live cells” was selected as one of the first set of 11 national pilot projects to receive $234K from the NobleReach Foundation. The partnership seeks to identify and accelerate the translation of NSF-funded research into biotechnologies and bio-inspired designs with commercial and societal impacts. This pilot will help inform future translational funding opportunities along with enabling Professor Mehl and the other selected principal investigators to accelerate bringing their research to the market and society.

Biochemist Patrick Reardon received $500K from the National Science Foundation (NSF) Research Instrumentation Program for his project entitled, “MRI: Acquisition of Helium Recovery Equipment: An integrated system for helium capture and recovery for the OSU NMR facility.” This award supports the acquisition and installation of an integrated system for helium capture and recovery for the nuclear magnetic resonance ( NMR ) facility. Helium is in high demand and is used for a wide variety of industrial and research applications, and it is a non-renewable resource which highlights the need for laboratories to capture and recycle this important gas. The NMR lab is supported by funding from the National Institutes of Health, NSF, M.J. Murdock Charitable Trust, and OSU, and it is a core facility and cornerstone for groundbreaking research in interdisciplinary science and engineering, chemistry, biochemistry, and biophysics at OSU, throughout the Pacific Northwest, and beyond. The facility continually strives to enhance its state-of-the-art instrumentation for the highest levels of analytical performance.

Research recommends strategies to optimize overnight maintenance in urban rail systems

by Cyrus Moulton, Northeastern University

Most urban transit systems have a brief window of time in the wee hours of the morning to perform maintenance work without disrupting passenger service.

Researchers from Northeastern University have developed multiple models to optimize this window, one of which shaves travel times for maintenance vehicles by an average of 23 minutes.

"Every minute counts," says Northeastern Ph.D. candidate John Moody.

His adviser, Haris Koutsopoulos, agrees.

"Twenty-three minutes may not sound like a huge amount of time, but it's important to look at it as a percentage of the average time they have every night, which at the time was around 90 95 to 100 minutes to do the job," says Koutsopoulos, a professor of civil and environmental engineering and director of the Transit Mobility Lab at Northeastern.

The Transit Mobility Lab partners with the MIT Transit Lab and transit agencies across the country on research projects, including the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority in Washington, D.C., the Chicago Transit Authority.

In the lab's latest research, published in the journal Transportation Research Record , researchers partnered with the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority to address how to optimize the maintenance time available for a system that provides passenger service 19 hours per weekday.

"It's a good example of what Northeastern preaches in experiential learning," Moody says. "We seek to understand the practical issues to be addressed, and we apply them to real world scenarios—it's not just theory."

Most often that maintenance time occurs early in the morning when passenger service is suspended.

But Moody and Koutsopoulos say it's rarely as simple as driving to a worksite with your tools at hand, ready to go.

"It's not an easy environment to work in at night," Koutsopoulos says.

For instance, job sites are often underground and accessible only by rail—and some parts of the labyrinthine rail network are easier to get to than others. Maintenance machines (work trains) also need to get to the worksite.

Then there are the many safety protocols that have to be followed on a worksite powered by electricity, with an electrified third rail, and that is home to traveling railcars that must follow spacing, speed and other regulations.

"A lot of planning goes into it," Moody says of maintenance work . "Simply deploying crews and maintenance vehicles to places they need to be we found took a lot of time."

So the researchers took a "deep dive" into work train deployment strategies, trying to answer such questions as where is it optimal to store work trains throughout the Washington rail network? How do work trains get assigned to projects? How do you schedule and route work trains to get to the worksite as soon as possible and to avoid other trains also using the network?

By analyzing Washington rail data—for example, data that records train movements during past work projects, what trains were being used for work projects and where they were stored, departure, routes and arrival times of trains along the rail network—the researchers were able to develop strategies that they could then test against past events.

The researchers tested four strategies: optimizing the long-term yard storage locations of work trains; optimizing the assignment of work trains to work zones; pre-positioning work trains closer to their work zones on track not used for revenue service; and optimizing the routing and scheduling of work trains through the network to reach the work zones.

While the strategies are not exclusive—for instance, one scenario tested might involve pre-positioning work trains and optimized routing and scheduling of work trains—researchers found "pre-positioning" work trains resulted in those trains getting to the work site an average of 23 minutes earlier than by scheduling and routing alone.

In fact, the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority will be testing a version of the pre-positioning strategy in the coming months, Moody says.

Moody says other transit systems have also expressed interest in the research.
