Since it opened in 1865, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, or MIT, has become synonymous with advancements in the fields of engineering and physical science. Yet more recently the university has also become a center for economics, management, biology and linguistics. MIT's prolific list of graduates includes astronaut "Buzz" Aldrin, former United Nations Secretary-General and Nobel Peace Prize-winner Kofi Annan, Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu, and award-winning and highly influential architect I. M. Pei. On top of that, world-renowned linguist, philosopher and cultural icon Noam Chomsky has lectured at MIT since 1955. And MIT's computer science department has had a pivotal involvement in the areas of robotics, cybernetics, artificial intelligence, machine learning, computer languages and cryptography. In 2013 MIT topped the annual QS World University Rankings list as the world's number one school.
