The RLE Investigator Profile video series explores
research and education in the Laboratory today through
the eyes and words of the men and women who lead
RLE's efforts to expand our understanding of nature
and to apply that understanding to important human
problems.
Research at RLE often involves developing innovative
technological tools to reveal new insights into the
physical world and its abstract models. The Laboratory
seeks, on one hand, to develop basic understanding
and the intellectual means to model complex phenomena
and, on the other hand, to create a foundation for
building new high-performance technologies which can
be used to further research progress.
Interdisciplinary interaction in RLE—and the
inclusion of MIT students into all facets of RLE research—characterizes
both daily activities and the long-range direction
of RLE research. A tension between individual focus
and intergroup collaborations leads to highly specialized
strengths as well as collective efforts that arise
from the mutual interest of many investigators.
The objective of each RLE Investigator Profile is
to share the unique perspective of each RLE investigator
on this rich process.
