Once a Hammer Fellow, Always a Hammer Fellow. Upon completion of their doctoral program or postdoctoral research, IDSS Hammer Fellows are invited to join a society of academics and professionals dedicated to excellence in social and engineering systems. Hammer Fellows embody that ingenuity, and will carry on his legacy through their innovative research far beyond their time at MIT. He recognized that solving major societal challenges begins with an understanding of how complex systems function and interact, requiring a careful analysis of inherently different kinds of systems: physical and engineered, economic and social behavioral, and institutional. Michael Hammer was a visionary engineer, business leader, author, and MIT professor who made a remarkable impact on both MIT and the nation’s engineering and business landscape.
IDSS Hammer Fellows are drawn from the IDSS postdoctoral fellows and students in the doctoral program in Social & Engineering Systems.įounded in 2017, this initiative is made possible by a generous gift from Phyllis Thurm Hammer in memory of her late husband Michael Hammer ’68, SM ’70, PhD ’73.
The Michael Hammer Society of Fellows is a distinguished, on-campus fellowship program that identifies, recruits and supports the most talented students and postdoctoral researchers addressing significant societal challenges at an early stage of their careers.
