Some of my students also come from the CNS and EE departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Some of my students also come from the CNS and EE departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Some of my students also come from the CNS and EE departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Some of my students also come from the CNS and EE departments, but I do not actively participate in admissions decisions in those programs. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to get a sense of what my group is currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- '''Prospective postdocs''': I typically make decisions about postdocs in the April-May timeframe, when I know what my grants look like for fall. Please take a look at my current [[Research Overview|research interests]] to see what projects we are currently working on. --&gt;<br /> &lt;!-- Caltech has several postdoc programs that admit exceptionally qualified postdocs for independent study at Caltech:<br /> * Caltech [[http:cmi.caltech.edu|Center for the Mathematics of Information (CMI)]] postdocs - applications due mid-December<br /> * Caltech [[http:www.its.caltech.edu/~bi/fellows.html|Beckman Fellows program]] - applications due early January<br /> --&gt;<br /> '''Note: I am currently sabbatical through Dec 2026''', and I am not starting any new students or postdocs in my group nor hosting visitors or SURF students during this time. If you are interested in the work we are doing in my group, I encourage you to take a look at some of my [[Collaborators|collaborators at Caltech]].<br /> == Research ==<br /> My group's research is in the application of feedback and control to networked systems, with applications in biology and autonomy. Current projects include design and implementation of synthetic cells and verification and testing of safety-critical systems (see my [[Research Overview|research overview]] for more details).<br />

Students will work learn about how technology and innovation leaders identify and shape emerging technologies and how technology can be harnessed and scaled to create new products and services. There will be a term project where students predict the future evolution of an exciting technology and explore the potential implications of that technology. The course is team-based and designed for students considering choosing an exciting research area, working in companies (any size, including start-ups), or eventually going to business school. Topics include technology as a growth agent, financial fundamentals, integration into other business processes, product development pipeline and portfolio management, learning curves, risk assessment, technology trend methodologies (scenarios, projections), motivation, rewards and recognition. Industries considered will include electronics (hardware and software), aerospace, medical, biotech, etc. Students will perform both primary and secondary research and present defensible projections based on their technology research.<br /> <br /> === Learning Objectives ===<br /> * Teach students how to identify and analyze new technology areas/trends and explore the potential new applications of those technologies with potential for large impact<br /> * Provide students with access to technology leaders in different fields who can provide new insights, ideas on how to manage technology, and help build students’ networks<br /> * Identify new areas of research for potential investment by funding agencies and philanthropic organizations, with anticipated roadmap/path to impact<br /> <br /> === Lecture Schedule ===<br /> <br /> {| class=&quot;mw-collapsible wikitable&quot;

This talk discusses recent advances in AI for science—including reasoning for math, physics and emerging science agents—while critically examining their limitations such as overestimated reasoning abilities. I then introduce LabOS, an AI-XR co-scientist that bridges computation and physical science by combining multimodal AI agents, extended-reality interfaces, and laboratory automation. By enabling AI systems to see experimental context, collaborate with humans, and assist in real-time execution, LabOS points toward a future where AI moves beyond analysis to active participation in scientific discovery.<br /> <br /> Mengdi Wang is an Associate professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and Center for Statistics and Machine Learning at Princeton University.

The (slow) transcriptional regulation is used to maintain an appro- priate concentration of protein whose activity can be modulated via a conformation change. An allosteric regulation mechanism is then used to produce an active protein (or protein complex) at a much faster timescale. The protein must both have the desired function (e.g., fluorescence) and allow a mechanism to compare its concentration to that of a reference species (inducer). <br /> |}<br /> We are working to develop a new class of feedback circuits that makes use of synthetic biological components to implement rapid response to input signals in a more robust and modular fashion. Our approach is to make use of biological processes that operate on timescales of seconds to minutes, primarily through feedback mechanisms using allosteric and covalent modifications that affect protein function. We are exploring the use of the modularity of protein domains to design circuit elements that can be reused more easily than existing components, and we will test our circuits across a variety of cellular contexts to assess robustness as a fundamental property of the design.<br /> <br /> Specific objectives for this project include:<br /> * Exploration of RNA-based mechanisms for regulating protein expression<br /> * Develop and characterize a set of programmable covalent modifications that modulate protein activity<br /> * Design, synthesize and test a circuit that uses multiple, heterogeneous feedback mechanisms for regulation of gene activity<br /> <br /> == References ==<br /> {{project paper list}}<br /> * [http://www.cds.caltech.edu/~murray/papers/2012q_dhm13-acc.html Design and Implementation of a Biomolecular Circuit for Tracking Protein Concentration], Emmanuel L.
