I saw your info session at MIT today. I am a senior in EECS at MIT doing a 5 year S.B./M.Eng. program. I like machine learning/vision and robotics and would love to get my hands dirty writing software that controls real physical systems. I've published research at the intersection of cognitive science and decision theory and just won first place at MIT's autonomous robotics competition. I've done various other projects that you can read about at http://snikolov.weebly.com. Shoot me an email at [email protected] if you think there is a match (especially in the avionics software group).
