2022 Top Companies for Women Technologists We are pleased to share that Lincoln Laboratory has been recognized as a 2022 Top Companies for Women Technologists Participant! The AnitaB.org Top Companies for Women Technologists program is a national program that recognizes companies building workplaces where women can thrive. We are honored to share this recognition with 51 other companies, representing more than 101,000 women and non-binary technologists and 404,169 total technologists.
How did black holes shape the cosmos? Fast, low-noise X-ray sensors may provide the answer New imaging technology will help enable future large X-ray telescopes to trace the origin and growth of black holes and the ways they’ve shaped the cosmos. How did our universe of galaxies and stars come to look as it does? NASA’s Great Observatories, including the Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Hubble Space Telescope, have revealed that the interplay between galaxies and the enormous black holes they host is key to answering this question, but precisely how this interaction works remains a mystery. For example, how did black holes a billion times the mass of the Sun grow so soon after the big bang? How do black holes grow in apparent lockstep with their host galaxies? How do black holes control star formation over distances many billion times their own size?

The Lincoln Laboratory Radar Introduction for Student Engineers (LLRISE) The program officially kicked off last week and we could not be more excited to have these students here at the Lab! In the first few days of the program, students had the opportunity to learn more about the Lab, received lectures on the fundamentals of radar technology, and built and soldered their own radar systems. The LLRISE program is a two-week, residential, project-based, enrichment program for outstanding students entering their senior year of high school. Students gain an in-depth experience by building small radar systems. This hands-on program allows students to work in a state-of-the-art laboratory with highly talented scientists and engineers.
AI-enabled, ultrasound-guided device could save lives on the battlefield A team of researchers in the Massachusetts General Hospital Department of Radiology and at MIT Lincoln Laboratory have developed an ultrasound-guided handheld robotic device that allows non-specialists — including combat medics in battlefield settings — to access deep arteries and veins for life-saving applications. Dubbed AI-GUIDE, the device takes advantage of advances in artificial intelligence (AI) to enable semi-automated placement of large-bore catheters in patients in critical need of fluid replacement or other interventions. The researchers reported the device in December in the journal Biosensors.
Cyber Technology for National Security 2022 CTNS is a forum for presentation and discussion of the latest research, prototyping, assessment, and operational uses of cyber technology in the interest of national security with a focus on military and national mission systems. Our high-quality program includes talks, demonstrations, and inspiring keynote addresses. Attendance is restricted to U.S. citizens. A government clearance is required for attendance. Registration is now open. For registration information, contact CTNS@ll.mit.edu.
MIT announces five flagship projects in first-ever Climate Grand Challenges competition. The winners of the first-ever Climate Grand Challenges (CGC) will become multiyear flagship research projects, helping define a new research agenda focused on addressing complex unsolved climate problems and bringing high-impact solutions to the world on an accelerated basis.
EMPLOYEE STORY - JULIANA FURGALA CYBERSECURITY RESEARCHER The topical research questions we tackle at the Laboratory provide me with enjoyable challenges that continually evolve my understanding of cybersecurity. I’m developing technology with security as a driving factor, technology that looks to address the problems of both the present and the future.
OPPORTUNITIES FOR STUDENTS At MIT Lincoln Laboratory, students gain valuable research experience and exposure to career paths across many scientific, engineering, and operational fields. Some programs fulfill a student's academic requirement, while others support thesis work at specific universities or offer paid internships. Many times, a student's experience at the Laboratory can evolve into post-graduation employment.
Signs of COVID-19 may be hidden in speech signals. By processing speech recordings of people infected with COVID-19, but not yet showing symptoms, our researchers found evidence of vocal biomarkers, or measurable indicators, of the disease. These biomarkers stem from disruptions the infection causes in the movement of muscles across the respiratory, laryngeal, and articulatory systems.
