CSI is excited to announce that our Zero-G Division has a confirmed spot on a Blue Origin New Shepard Rocket to be launched this year! We will be conducting a biomedical engineering experiment in microgravity - we look forward to sharing more details soon.

Thanks for visiting us today Columbia Space Initiative Columbia University! #nyc

Cheers to Columbia Space Initiative who's been selected to send a payload to the #InternationalSpaceStation this year as part of the Broken Link program. engineering.columbia.edu/news/columbia-… International Space Station Columbia University CU MechEngineering Columbia Science Columbia College NASA

Can't wait to introduce the world to our inaugural a16z American Dynamism engineering fellows, with @0xPHBD, Millen Anand, and Jacob Phillips joining the team. We're excited to share everything we’re cooking here to support technical ecosystems across AD. More below:

3/ Millen Anand (Millen Anand) is a mechanical engineer who has built, tested, and sent spacecraft into orbit as a team lead at Planet. He was also a satellite engineer at The Boeing Company, studied mechanical engineering at Columbia, and is a commercial aviation enthusiast.

Millen Anand: Verticalized Earth observation tools could leverage affordable, small satellites to unlock new products and use cases.

Hardware engineers developing innovative technologies still rely on legacy physics-based simulations—slow, compute-intensive methods that haven’t improved in decades. That’s about to change. AI and the Promise of Hardware Iteration at Software Speed⬇️ a16z.com/ai-and-the-pro…

We’re entering a new era in robotics where generalized systems are starting to work in the real world, but researchers still don’t have good tools for understanding their data. That’s why I built ARES, an open-source platform for ingesting, annotating, and curating robotics data.

Time for Elon Musk to break out the alternate speech for Starship 35 "Fate has ordained that Ship 35, which soared into the heavens to chart the path for humanity’s future, will not return to Earth. This vessel, a testament to human ingenuity, carries no crew, yet its loss is no

who is building American Dynamism and will be #CVPR2025 in Nashville next week? hit us up Oliver Hsu Jacob Phillips Millen Anand

Have you ever wondered if o4-mini could control a robot? Ever wanted to do robotics research, but didn't have any robots or GPUs? MALLET is a toolkit and benchmark for letting vision-language models like GPT-4o drive robots in the real-world. MALLET is built on top of

After a banger inaugural year, we are re-opening applications for our American Dynamism Engineering Fellowship. If you're an engineer and want to build for America, apply at the link below!
