Happy birthday to Caltech professor Katie Bouman! As a PhD student at MIT & CSAIL researcher, she was part of the team that helped create the first-ever image of a black hole.
@naomiosaka 's outfit at the Met Gala reminded us of the classic computer science book, "Introduction to Algorithms." Its authors include CSAIL principal investigators Charles Leiserson & Ronald Rivest.
In the '80s, future MIT prof. Bill Freeman envisioned a three-sided zipper that could switch items between soft & rigid states.
Last year, CSAIL revived his idea w/an automated design tool. It 3D prints "Y-zippers" that snap gear, robots, & art into place.

MIT CSAIL & Harvard just taught an electron microscope to see like a human, compressing a decade of imaging into just 3 months.

61 years ago this month, the Fast Fourier Transform was created, a powerful tool for image compression & data analysis.
Watch as MIT prof. Erik Demaine breaks down FFT, perhaps the most-taught algorithm at the Institute.
