Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering

The interaction between doctoral students and faculty members is one of the most significant aspects of a graduate student's time at Tufts.

From soft-bodied robots to superconducting materials to cell swimming at the microscale, our faculty are experts in a diverse array of innovative research efforts. With applications such as new approaches to medical surgeries, the ability to store hydrogen for use in cars, and safely guiding airplanes into airports, these projects are excellent opportunities to solve many current everyday engineering problems.

You'll work closely with distinguished faculty members to complete innovative research that solves complex engineering problems.

Applicants will be required to upload a copy of transcripts received from each college or university attended where credit was earned toward an undergraduate, graduate or professional degree. Transcripts for study abroad or transfer programs are not required if the course titles, grades, and credit hours are included on the transcript of the degree-granting institution. If the transcript is in a language other than English, please provide an official translation. If you are offered admission, you will be required to request that official hard copy transcripts from all of your degree granting institutions be sent directly to Tufts.
