R. Field III
Senior
Research Associate, Center
for Technology, Policy and Industrial
Development
Director of Education, Technology
and Policy Program
Senior Research Engineer
Senior Lecturer in Engineering Systems
Dr.
Field holds a Ph.D. from MIT. He is
a researcher in the area of materials
systems analysis, a field in which
economic and operations research methods
are applied to problems in materials
and materials processing. His research
has focused upon the practical application
of these methods, and the thrust of
this work has been to develop ways
in which systems analysis tools, combined
with materials process engineering
knowledge, can be intelligently applied
to address important issues in product
development and planning and in the
broader areas of materials and environmental
policy.
Dr.
Field’s work has been applied
to materials and manufacturing problems
in the automotive, aerospace and electronics
industries. His work bridges the fields
of economics, materials engineering,
decision analysis and technology policy,
and it has been used by policymakers
in government and industry to examine
automobile recycling policies and
the strategic implications of advanced
automobile technologies.
Within
MIT, Dr. Field not only has worked
with undergraduate and graduate students
as a research supervisor, but he has
also served in a teaching capacity.
He conducts and develops courses in
the ESD Technology and Policy Program
and an Engineering School-wide elective
in systems analysis. Within the Technology
& Policy Program, he also serves
as Director of Education and teaches
parts of the program core.
