Meet Ashley Kamal, an AI/ML Algorithm Engineer at MIT Lincoln Laboratory who focuses on AI/ML [artificial intelligence and machine learning] algorithm development for undersea systems.

During her time at the Laboratory, Ashley has built her knowledge of undersea mission needs and data types, and various AI/ML methods such as self-supervised and few-shot learning. “Now, I feel like a major contributor to finding meaningful solutions to difficult and evolving challenges for the undersea community,” she says.

For 75 years, MIT Lincoln Laboratory has delivered transformative capabilities to the warfighter and the world – from the nation’s first continental air defense system that protected against Soviet nuclear attack and the first radar-based satellite imaging that advanced our characterization of objects in space to 193-nanometer optical lithography that revolutionized semiconductor manufacturing.

We have been facing hard problems for 75 years. What will we solve next? ✨

We were thrilled to welcome Governor Maura Healey last week to kick off Lincoln Laboratory’s 75th Anniversary Distinguished Lecture Series. During a captivating fireside chat with Laboratory Director Melissa Choi, they discussed Lincoln Laboratory's ongoing commitment to innovation and strengthening national security.

In recognition of the Laboratory's contributions to NASA’s Artemis II mission, Governor Healey also presented a Governor's citation, honoring our efforts in laying the foundation for future high-bandwidth communication in deep space.

Did you hear a loud boom in the New England region on Saturday, May 30?
That was a meteor exploding at approximately 2:06 pm! This image below is derived from the GOES-19 satellite's Geostationary Lightning Mapper (GLM), which captured the moment of the blast (so bright that it registered as lightning) in Earth’s atmosphere.

Our team at Lincoln Laboratory is proud to have helped develop the GLM and the focal plane array detectors aboard the GOES series satellites, in collaboration with NOAA and NASA. Read more on our work with GOES here: https://ow.ly/o0VY50Z863A
