Adaptive by Design: Biologically Informed Engineering—May 21

Adaptive by Design: Biologically Informed Engineering examines how ideas rooted in living systems, such as adaptability, efficiency, and responsive behavior, are driving new approaches to engineering across disciplines.

This Leading Edge webinar will explore how AI is accelerating hypothesis generation by identifying patterns across biology, materials science, and engineering, and how advances in sensing, imaging, and instrumentation are translating these insights into systems for testing and deployment. Together, these approaches form a continuous pipeline from idea generation to engineered application.

Hosted by the MIT Industrial Liaison Program (ILP).

STUDIO.nano presents: Can machines be creative?—Mar. 19

Prof. Buehler’s lab is pioneering the use of AI agents to design nanoscale materials — systems that reason, self-organize, and generate structures atom by atom. His research opens a profound question: When machines help design matter itself, are they participating in creativity? Join STUDIO.nano for an interdisciplinary discussion exploring AI, scientific discovery, art, and the evolving relationship between human and machine imagination.
