Our Mission

Innobridge Institute seeks to bridge the gaps within the world of academia by encouraging our students to venture beyond the school curriculum and develop solutions to real-world problems through research and higher learning. Our mission is to inspire students to create their own vision for the world, keep an open mind, and develop strong leadership skills, so that their vision can become reality.

The Impacts of...

MIT Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus

“Queen of Carbon Science”

Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus was a world-renowned professor at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology for 57 years. She was appointed the first female Institute Professor at MIT in 1985. 

She was awarded the 2010 Nobel Prize and many other notable science awards for her contributions to science, engineering, and expanding the opportunities of women in science.

Her influence and mark on the science world has lead to a few physical theories named after her, such as the Hicks-Dresselhaus Model and the Dresselhaus effect. She is also hailed as the “Queen of Carbon Science” by the scientific community.

Professor Mildred S. Dresselhaus passed away in 2017, but her legacy and contributions to science will always live on.

Professor Mildred Dresselhaus had a huge impact on AARD, as she was one of the first advisors within the program. She was passionate about inspiring the younger generation and bridging the gaps within academia. Her contributions to the early days of AARD will always live on and serve as a foundation for our program’s mission.
