Clarice Demarchi Aiello
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Bioengineering
BioI am trained as a physicist (Ecole Polytechnique/University of Cambridge, Trinity College) and electrical engineer (MIT).
My interests lie in unveiling biology at the micro/nanoscale, with emphasis in the physical mechanisms employed by "living sensors".
In particular, I aim to determine how a light-sensitive cell in a primitive placozoan relays light-dependent signals to other cells; and how butterflies migrate thousands of miles guided by Earth's (very weak!) magnetic field.
To do so, I combine single-molecule and optical tomography techniques well-adapted to biological settings, with control methods typically used in atomic and molecular physics experiments. -
Alex Aiken
Alcatel-Lucent Professor in Communications and Networking and Professor of Particle Physics and Astrophysics and of Photon Science
BioAiken's research focuses on developing techniques for the construction of reliable software systems. His interests include both static and dynamic methods of analyzing programs, and span both detecting errors and verifying the absence of errors in software. Most of his research combines a theoretical component (for example, proving the soundness of an analysis technique) and a practical component, which often involves the implementation and measurement of advanced program analysis algorithms. Finally, his research also extends to the design of new programming languages and programming techniques in which it is easier to write software that can be checked for a wide variety of errors.
