Welcome to the MIT Device Research Laboratory (DRL) under the direction of Dr. Evelyn Wang in the Mechanical Engineering Department at MIT.

The Wang Group investigates heat and mass transport processes at the micro- and nano-scales, using state-of-the art micro- and nano-electromechanical systems (MEMS/NEMS), novel optical diagnostics, and new nanostructured materials. We utilize these approaches to discover new functionalities and realize new technologies for energy, thermal management, water desalination, and biological systems.
