about me
Taylor Elise Baum
I solve problems impacting patients in the operating room and students in underserved communities.
I'm an engineer trained in signal processing, controls and machine learning, who is broadly interested in fundamentally understanding biological systems - the cardiovascular system and the nervous system - and developing novel technologies. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I am a rising sixth-year Electrical Engineering and Computer Science PhD candidate.
I'm currently advised by Dr. Emery Brown and Dr. Munther Dahleh. In my current work, I'm building control systems for Closed-Loop Blood Pressure Control (CLBPC), processing cardiovascular signals with a goal of impacting clinical practices during operating room procedures and developing brain state estimation algorithms for use in Closed-Loop Anesthetic Delivery (CLAD) systems.
In addition to my research, I am a highly experienced educator. I am the founder of Sprouting, an education social impact venture geared towards providing high quality bilingual curriculum tools to underserved communities.
