178 * Representative Student Theses | |
179 | |
180 These are students where I played a large role in their | |
181 education. Many of them represent compelling research directions | |
182 that desperatly need to be extented by the next generation of | |
183 researchers! As Minsky says, if you want to do something really new, | |
184 go back to points in the past where there was a neat idea that never | |
185 really caught on, and follow the path of that idea to see where it | |
186 leads. A comprehensive list of all my student's works can be found | |
187 at my [[http://groups.csail.mit.edu/mac/users/gjs/gjs.html][homepage]]. If you want to cite any of these papers, you can | |
188 find bibtex citations here: [[./sussman-recs.bib]]. | |
189 | |
190 In particular, here's two great ideas that seem extremely promising | |
191 and have NOT been properly explored! You could be the first person | |
192 to get them working! | |
193 | |
194 - Elmer Hung Paramater estimati(on in chaotic Systems (masters) + | |
195 Athanassios Siapas : Global approach to parameter estimation of | |
196 Chaotic Synamical sysstem | |
197 | |
198 - No one put enough effort into seeing if it worked. | |
199 - Seems to allow for almost unlimited percision in measurement. | |
200 - Initial results look very promising, with a =13 order of | |
201 magnitude= improvement in measurement precision in a simple | |
202 experiment. | |
203 - You will win the Nobel Prize if you can get it to work, because | |
204 you will revolutionize the way we do measurements. | |
205 | |
206 - Towards Intelligent Structures: Active Control of Buckling | |
207 - By Andrew A. Berlin, 1994 | |
208 - Achieves a 10 fold increase in strength by actively eliminating | |
209 vibrational modes. | |
210 - Such a good idea; It's cool, short -- great! | |
211 - No one's followed up on it! | |
212 | |
