![]() ![]() Over the course of his career, Milgram had more than 100 publications. Milgram was instrumental to the team’s victory. In 1992, he was the design director and chief computer modeler for America3, which won the America’s Cup. His research focused heavily on ship development, the behavior of oil spills in the marine involvement and cleanup technology (for which he holds 12 patents), the behavior of sea waves, the dynamics of underwater vehicles, and other topics. Milgram also worked closely with the United States Navy and the Coast Guard. Koch Professor of Marine Technology, Milgram taught courses such as 2.20 (Marine Hydrodynamics) and 2.25 (Fluid Mechanics) in mechanical engineering in addition to 6.003 (Signals and Systems) in electrical engineering for over 50 years. In 1967, Milgram joined the faculty at MIT, where he would spend the remainder of his career. In 1965, he earned his PhD with a thesis that provided a theoretical and experimental foundation for absorbing plane water waves by means of a moving boundary at one end of a channel. Milgram received his undergraduate degree from MIT in 1961, where he also served as captain of the sailing team. His love of sailing began at the very early stages of his life. Jerome, also known as Jerry, was born in Melrose Park, Pennsylvania, on Sept. Milgram pioneered ship design, hydrodynamics, and applied physical oceanography. ![]() Jerome Milgram ’61, PhD ’65, professor emeritus of ocean engineering at MIT, passed away at the age of 83 on Dec. ![]()
