Mark Prainito: computing with physical systems
A Harvard student’s personal site describes research into physical reservoir computing alongside hands-on work in photonics, microfluidics, CubeSat structures, and assistive devices.
- For
- Researchers and students exploring physical computing
- Worth noticing
- The profile describes eight modeled reservoir architectures and workflows that it says have run billions of simulations.
Field notes
The profile connects research descriptions to concrete lab and build work: nanolaser systems, microfluidic emulsions, micro-NMR, and CubeSat hardware. It says eight physics- and chemistry-informed reservoir architectures have been modeled, with Python, MATLAB, and COMSOL workflows run across time-series and image-classification benchmarks. A separate nonprofit project is described as designing and 3D-printing assistive devices; the site also links a CV and contact channels.
