Sharing a reflection about my time in the How To Grow (Almost) Anything class and a future perspective for Synthetic Biology!

Skiing, mountains and sensors! ❄️ ⛷ 🏔 Sharing our latest published work! We propose a sensing system that can be used for purposes of enhancing product development and athlete performance, as well as for analyzing different terrains and snow conditions. link.springer.com/chapter/10.100…

Sharing my latest work, published in the IEEE Internet of Things Journal. We present Chameleon. A wall mounted sensor system that uses machine learning to classify building activity. City Science group MIT Media Lab ieeexplore.ieee.org/abstract/docum…

In IEEE Spectrum: Chameleon is a smart-home system built by Andres Rico + others (City Science group) that monitors indoor activity with CO2 + infrared sensors—gathering unintrusive data + protecting privacy, with potential to create more sustainable buildings. spectrum.ieee.org/a-smart-home-s…

Had fun discussing community-based sensing with MIT Horizon and MIT Open Learning. Here's a recording of the presentation and short Q&A session. Might be interesting for those of you interested in City IoT. City Science group MIT Media Lab vimeo.com/736525172/07a1…

We are thrilled to share the work on our synthetic biology course ‘How to Grow (Almost) Anything,’ including how we used robots to support distance learning during the pandemic, and also our vision for global #synbio education! MIT Media Lab #HTGAA

Congrats to Andres Rico, a PhD student in City Science group, on being honored as one of MIT Technology Review's "Innovators Under 35: Latin America"! This award highlights his development of low-cost, open source sensors to test the quality + quantity of water sources. media.mit.edu/posts/andr-s-r…

Nine years ago, City Science group launched the City Science Network, a collab of institutions + researchers who share a common goal of enabling more livable, equitable, and resilient communities. Today, the Network encompasses 10 affiliated labs around the world. news.mit.edu/2023/city-scie…

Andres Rico, a graduate student at the MIT Media Lab with a background in Robotics, AI and Innovation, conducts research to capture detailed urban complexity and designs urban sensing infrastructure to improve future cities's socio-environmental performance.

"I believe that if we rethink the way we design and manage our cities, we can address many of the challenges that we have." At #TEDxMIT, City Science group researcher Andres Rico talks about how novel sensors + algorithms can be used to empower urban communities. youtube.com/watch?v=vDmAE6…
