A Robust Training Platform for Real-World Analog AI Hardware
Bias-tolerant training method for analog AI hardware that improves learning stability without digital correction. Problem: Analog computing could enable faster, lower-power AI systems, but real devices are difficult to train reliably because physical hardware is inherently imperfect. Small biases in sensing, signal application, or component behavior...

Physical Neural Network for Fast, Scalable, and Power-Efficient Machine Learning Computation
A physical embodiment of a locally-learning neural network, which learns faster than current CPU-based nets. Problem: Machine learning is a ubiquitous tool that has found uses in engineering, science, and medicine. Neural networks are some of the most powerful machine learning algorithms, but they train very slowly when they become large. This hampers...

Passive multidirectional illumination in light-sheet flourecense microscopy
Problem: Light-sheet fluorescence microscopy enables rapid scanning of biological samples to reconstruct a 3-dimensional image of the sample. However, images generally contain artifacts (shadows, stripes, etc.) that are caused by illumination inhomogeneity due to absorption or scattering within the sample. These artifacts can occlude observation of...
