              In the early morning hours of August 17, 2025, Prof. John Joannopoulos, ISN Director since 2006 and a member of the MIT faculty since 1974, passed away following an extended battle with cancer. He will be sorely missed as a leader, scientist, educator, mentor, and friend. His legacy will endure.
