Today I gave my first lecture at
@MIT
, starting my new class "Applied Category Theory for Engineering Design", and I had to take a selfie!
Excited to have a group of talented students from incredibly diverse backgrounds.
Also, they immortalized my first

I am thrilled to share that I will join
@MIT
as an Assistant Professor in Fall 2024. I will be part of
@MIT_CEE
, LIDS, and
@mitidss
.
I am deeply thankful to all mentors and colleagues who supported me so far, and I look forward to this next exciting step in my career.
Today I had the pleasure of virtually launching my lab
@MIT
. It’s incredibly exciting and moving to start working with such a diverse and talented group of individuals (including core members, visitors, and collaborators) from varied backgrounds, life paths, and origins.
Reminder: I am recruiting for my lab at

Rudge (1948) and Nancy Allen Career Development Professorship, to support my first three years as a faculty. What a great way to start my lab, very excited!!!
CEE welcomes new faculty member, Assistant Professor Gioele Zardini, who joins us from Stanford University. He will be teaching 1.S980: Applied Category Theory for Engineering Design, a new class this fall.
A lot of first times this week...
Today we kicked off the Zardini Lab
@MIT
@MITLIDS
@mitidss
@MIT_CEE
with a lunch group meeting, an escape room to break the ice, and some sugar 🍨
Here a teaser for the new special subject I'll be teaching at MIT in the Fall -- 1.S980: ACT4ED
The class will explore techniques to compositionally formulate and solve complex design problems, with applications in autonomy and mobility.
Tomorrow I'm giving a surprise talk at the MIT Mobility Forum, hosted by MMI!
