The Laboratory for Electromagnetic and Electronic Systems (LEES) at the
Massachusetts Institute of Technology
The Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) is a Private university, private Land-grant university, land-grant research university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Established in 1861, MIT has played a key role in the development of modern t ...
(MIT) provides the theoretical basis, and component, circuit and system technologies required to develop advanced
electrical energy applications. LEES research areas include
electronic circuits, components and systems,
power electronics and control, micro and macro
electromechanics,
electromagnetics
In physics, electromagnetism is an interaction that occurs between particles with electric charge. It is the second-strongest of the four fundamental interactions, after the strong force, and it is the dominant force in the interactions ...
,
continuum mechanics
Continuum mechanics is a branch of mechanics that deals with the mechanical behavior of materials modeled as a continuous mass rather than as discrete particles. The French mathematician Augustin-Louis Cauchy was the first to formulate such ...
(the interaction of fields with fluids and other deformable media), high voltage engineering and dielectric physics, manufacturing and
process control, and
energy economics.
In 2009 the LEES ceased to exist as a separate lab and was administratively merged into the Research Laboratory of Electronics to form its seventh research theme.
