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 ... -
Fundamental Behavior of Nanoporous Networks in the Out-of-Autoclave Manufacturing of Carbon Fiber Reinforced Polymer Composites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2024-09)Throughout the aerospace industry, carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) laminated composites are used extensively in spacecraft and aircraft vehicles due to their high specific strength and stiffness and other properties. ...
