    • Employing Magnetic Field Records at Key Moments in Planetary Evolution 

      Mansbach, Elias N. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-05)
      The analysis of the paleomagnetic record in meteorites provides a unique and powerful viewpoint on early solar system and planetary evolution. Indeed, meteorites are the only tangible objects that bore witness to these ...

    • Leveraging Mechanics for Multi-step Robotic Manipulation Planning 

      Holladay, Rachel (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-09)
      This thesis focuses on enabling robots to robustly perform complex, multi-step manipulation tasks, like chopping vegetables or wielding a wrench. Completing such tasks requires a robot to plan and execute long sequences ...

    • Approximation and System Identification Techniques for Stochastic Biomolecular Systems 

      Grunberg, Theodore W. (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-09)
      Many biomolecular systems can be modeled as chemical reaction networks with a set of relevant species interacting via chemical reactions. When the molecular counts of the species are small, the inherent stochasticity in ...
