Bob Armstrong

Robert C. Armstrong is the Director of the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI). He was appointed in May 2013 as the new director succeeding Ernest Moniz, who departed MIT to head the U.S. Department of Energy. Armstrong has served as the deputy director of MITEI since its founding Fall of 2006. He was co-chair (with Moniz) of the Energy Research Council that laid the groundwork for MITEI and set its guiding principles. MITEI was launched to create a new platform for highly focused energy-related activity at MIT and includes research, education, campus energy management and outreach programs that cover all areas of energy supply and demand, security, and environmental impact.

Bob is Chevron Professor of Chemical Engineering and has been a member of the MIT faculty since 1973 and served as head of the Department of Chemical Engineering from1996 to 2007. His research interests include polymer fluid mechanics, rheology of complex materials,  multiscale process modeling, transport phenomena, applied mathematics and energy. In 2008, Armstrong was elected into the National Academy of Engineering for conducting outstanding research on non-Newtonian fluid mechanics, co-authoring landmark textbooks, and providing leadership in chemical engineering education. Armstrong has received the Warren K. Lewis Award and the Professional Progress Award in 1992, both from the American Institute of Chemical Engineers, and the 2006 Bingham Medal from the Society of Rheology, which is devoted to the study of the science of deformation and flow of matter. He received his Ph.D. from the University of Wisconsin and B.ChE. from Georgia Institute of Technology.
