Director, MIT Lincoln Laboratory
Dr. Melissa G. Choi is the director of MIT Lincoln Laboratory, a multidisciplinary federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) run by MIT for the Department of Defense. As director, she is responsible for the Laboratory's strategic direction and overall technical and administrative operations.
The Laboratory focuses on advanced technology development and system prototyping for national security needs. Laboratory-sponsored programs include work for the military services and other government agencies, such as the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), and the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA).
Prior to her appointment as director in 2024, Choi served as an assistant director of the Laboratory from 2019 to 2024, with oversight of five of the Laboratory’s nine technical divisions as well as its Air Force–sponsored programs. Choi served for six years on the Air Force Scientific Advisory Board, with a term as vice chair. She contributed strategic leadership to the expansion of the Laboratory’s civil space portfolio through the formation of a new Civil Space Systems and Technology Office. In 2023, she was appointed a member of the National Defense Science Board’s Permanent Subcommittee on Threat Reduction.
She previously led the Homeland Protection and Air Traffic Control Division, which supports the nation’s security by innovating technology and architectures to help prevent terrorist attacks within the United States and to facilitate recovery from either man-made or natural disasters through sensor development, architecture studies, and prototypes for disaster response.
Before leading the Homeland Protection and Air Traffic Control Division, she was appointed an assistant head of the Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance and Tactical Systems Division after serving as the leader of the Active Optical Systems Group.
Choi joined Lincoln Laboratory in 1999 as a member of the technical staff in the Advanced System Concepts Group, where she focused on systems analysis for ISR and tactical applications related to surface surveillance. Her work included mission analyses at scales ranging from small team operations to theater conflicts against peer competitors, and sensor projects ranging from unattended ground sensors and small unmanned aerial vehicles to large aircraft and constellations of space-based assets. In 2006, she became an assistant leader of the group before transitioning to become an assistant leader and then the leader of the Systems and Analysis Group, which provides technical analysis to U.S. Air Force leadership on air vehicle survivability and the potential capabilities and limitations of ISR and tactical systems. In this role, she led new analysis and test efforts focused on U.S. platform, payload, and electronic attack options.
Choi completed her undergraduate work at Ithaca College, majoring in mathematics. She received a PhD degree in applied mathematics from North Carolina State University, where she modeled radio-frequency bonding of adhesives in composites for use in the automotive industry.
Commercial innovation is a key component of U.S. national security strategy, but the specialized needs of national security often make harnessing this innovation difficult. As the Department of Defense’s largest Federally Funded Research and Development Center, MIT’s Lincoln Laboratory's mission is to close this gap and spark disruptive solutions. This talk will highlight how Lincoln Laboratory 1) works with the DoD to analyze its most pressing problems; 2) develops advanced technology or harnesses commercial capabilities to make new solutions possible; 3) creates prototypes to validate solutions or address urgent needs; and 4) efficiently transitions prototypes to the private sector for commercial development. These four overlapping capabilities are the fundamental building blocks of the Laboratory’s innovation engine for national security. We will feature examples of significant technologies that have moved out of the lab and into the military and marketplace for real-world impact.
Professor, MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
The classical approach to AI was to design systems that were rational at run-time: they had explicit representations of beliefs, goals, and plans, and ran inference algorithms online to select actions. More recently, relatively unstructured, data-driven end-to-end approaches have achieved great success across a wide range of domains and have begun to seem like a plausible path to general-purpose intelligent robots. However, we are now seeing the limits of pure behavior learning, and many practitioners are reintegrating forms of search and explicit reasoning into their approaches.
Leslie Kaelbling will revisit the rational-agent approach to designing intelligent robots from the perspectives of engineering effort, computational efficiency, cognitive modeling, and interpretability. She will present current research aimed at understanding the role of learning in runtime-rational agents, with the ultimate goal of constructing general-purpose, human-level intelligent robots.

Global electricity demand is projected to nearly double by 2050, driven by the rapid electrification of buildings, transportation, and manufacturing. Compounding this pressure is the exponential growth of AI. While AI offers transformative potential across industries, it is also emerging as a significant energy consumer. Data centers, the digital engines powering AI, have more than doubled their electricity consumption since 2018 and now account for 4.4% of global demand. In the U.S., they are expected to consume up to 12% of total electricity by 2028.
This track will explore how the world can meet rising energy needs through the rapid expansion of sustainable energy production. From fusion and next-generation nuclear to renewables, grid-scale storage, decentralized systems, and forward-looking policies, we will examine the innovations and frameworks critical to building a resilient, low-carbon energy future. Addressing this challenge will require a bold vision, accelerated technological advancement, and unprecedented global collaboration.
This session explores the transformative dynamics of the New Space era, where commercial innovation, rapid development cycles, and expanded access to space are redefining what’s possible. Presenters will highlight emerging technologies, novel mission approaches, and cross-sector collaborations driving this shift. Topics may include advances in Earth observation and sensing, the proliferation of small satellite platforms, and research in space physiology to support human spaceflight. Whether technological, scientific, or entrepreneurial, these developments exemplify how New Space is reshaping the space ecosystem and opening new frontiers for exploration, application, and impact.
