about me



Taylor Elise Baum



I solve problems impacting patients in the operating room, and students in underserved communities.




I'm a controls and signal processing engineer, broadly interested in fundamentally understanding biological systems - the cardiovascular system and the nervous system. At the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, I am a fourth year Electrical Engineering and Computer Science PhD candidate.

I'm currently advised by Dr. Emery Brown and Dr. Munther Dahleh at MIT. I additionally collaborate with Dr. Usha Tedrow at Brigham and Women’s Hostipal. In my current work, I'm building control systems for Closed-Loop Blood Pressure Control (CLBC), 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.
