Understanding the Limits of Coupled Condensation and Desorption in Sorption-Based Atmospheric Water Harvesting (SAWH) Devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Access to clean water is a serious challenge around the world, with almost 2/3 of the global population experiencing water scarcity at some point during the year, especially in dry regions. One solution to this problem is ... -
Impact of Vimentin Intermediate Filaments on 3D Multicellular Collective Behavior
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Vimentin, a type III intermediate filament, is an understudied component of the cytoskeletal system. However, in recent studies we can see its structural and mechanical properties aid in a cell's survival and migration. ... -
Planning for Dynamic Nonprehensile Object Transport
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2025-05)Generalized planning methods for dynamic manipulation struggle to efficiently solve kinodynamic constraints. Gradient-based methods suffer from initialization sensitivity, local optimum convergence, and lack of feasibility ...
