  • Senior Counsel's Office
    Senior Counsel’s Office In its fifth year, fiscal year 2004, the Senior Counsel’s Office is MIT’s central in‐house counsel’s office, providing comprehensive legal services and counseling on MIT matters in all areas of concern to the academy and the administration (except intellectual property law). The office represents MIT’s president, provost, executive vice president, and chancellor, as well as the deans, vice presidents, the departments, laboratories, and research centers, and administrative offices. We also arrange for and manage outside legal services when needed and oversee all litigation. Our office includes MIT’s senior counsel Jamie Lewis Keith, contracts counsel Margaret Brill, and litigation and risk management counsel Mark DiVincenzo, as well as a law clerk, Kathryn Johnson. (In FY2004 our office also included a part‐time environmental counsel. In FY2005 the office will include an associate counsel.) We are problem solvers and strategic‐thinking partners for our clients. We strive to be enablers, helping MIT’s senior officers, faculty, and staff to accomplish their mission‐critical objectives and to make informed decisions. Our office also brings the lessons learned from litigation, other disputes, and major transactions back to the MIT community through counseling and education. These lessons support management and faculty initiatives to minimize and avoid those reputational, financial, operational, and legal risks that can be appropriately managed, while still achieving MIT’s core mission. The Senior Counsel’s Office advises

As a result, a large number of studies have been conducted with the goals of eliciting specific affective states, measuring sensor data associated with those states, and building algorithms to predict the affective state of the user based on that sensor data. These studies have usually focused on recognizing relatively unambiguous emotions, such as anger, sadness, or happiness. These studies are also typically conducted with the subject’s awareness that the sensors are recording data related to affect.

  • Invited Talk Prof
    MCTS Munich Center for Technology in Society Technische Universität München Invited Talk Prof. Danielle Wood Head, Space Enabled Group Media Lab, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Designing Complex Systems to Apply Space Technology for Sustainable Development The presentation outlines the research agenda of the new Space Enabled Research Group of the MIT Media Lab. Space Enabled is built on the premise that technology from the space sector has the potential to contribute profoundly to reaching the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals. Six space technologies are already being used to support sustainable development. The Space Enabled Research Group implements projects with development leaders at the multi-lateral, national, regional and local scale. During these projects, Space Enabled implements an integrated design process that includes techniques from engineering design, art, social science, complex systems modeling, satellite engineering and data science. This work includes creating new applications of space for development, new methods to apply complex systems modeling and new approaches within satellite engineering. Professor Danielle Wood serves as an Assistant Professor in the Program in Media Arts and Sciences within the Media Lab at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Within the Media Lab, Prof. Wood leads the Space Enabled Research Group which seeks to advance justice in earth's complex systems using designs enabled by space. Prof. Wood is a scholar of societal development with a background that includes satellite design, earth science applications, systems engineering, and technology policy. In her research, Prof. Wood applies these skills to design systems that harness space technology to address development challenges around the world. Most recently, Prof.

Protein kinases and phosphoprotein phosphatases generate and terminate these phosphoryl signals, respectively. Chemical approaches for studying protein phosphorylation and the roles of phosphoproteins include photolabile caged analogs of bioactive species.
