Faculty
Because manufacturing leaders require a wide range of knowledge, LFM draws its faculty from both the MIT School of Engineering and the MIT Sloan School of Management. LFM faculty members are among the most outstanding in their fields --- experts who have excellent track records working with industry and who have extensive networks that include key industry practitioners. LFM Faculty are active in interdisciplinary research and teaching as well as student advising, project supervision and curriculum development.
The following lists faculty members who been involved with LFM activities, including research, teaching classes, thesis supervision, and program management. An asterisk (*) indicates faculty who hold a dual/joint appointment with MIT’s Engineering Systems Division. Faculty profiles are available on http://web.mit.edu and http://web.mit.edu/engineering/index.html.
