The MDP Team
The MDP project is headed by Prof. Alex Slocum at MIT and Dr. Peter Long in the Engineering Department of Cambridge University. During the period of the project there have been a number of CMI funded support staff combined with substantial support from staff and student members at both establishments. In addition, there has been outstanding support for the project from industry and staff at other educational establishments around the world, please see below and by specific reference through the site. (The number of companies and individuals supporting the work is continously increasing, to see the current contributors please access the MDP website )
