Max
PostDog
MIT Boundless Energy Fellow
Max earned his dogtorate from UC Barkley and became a PostDog at MIT at the age of 1 (the youngest in OneLab!), focusing on finding, inspecting and studying sticks. His work lead to the aggregation and analysis of at least 10 sticks in a variety of shapes and sizes, and has resulted in several puplications. In OneLab, his work is supportive in nature. He is in charge of playing with tennis balls in the main office and going on walks around the Charles River. His door is always open to anyone who wants to play, but he insists they must also bring snackies.
Subgroup: Pawptics and spectroscopuppy
Current Research: Stick inspection for next-gen fetch
Baron
PostCat
MIT Boundless Energy Fellow
Baron earned his catademic degree from Purrinceton and became a PostCat at MIT at the age of 7, specializing in the rigorous analysis of small, elusive objects, particularly crinkly balls and stray paper clips. His groundbreaking work has contributed to the categorization of over 15 objects knocked off tables, with results featured in several peer-revurred journals. At any given moment, Baron may or may not be present— widely believed to be Schrödinger’s cat, existing in a superposition of napping and causing chaos until directly observed.In OneLab, his role is primarily supervisory—overseeing experiments from the highest available perch, providing critical input during Zoom calls, and ensuring optimal keyboard disruption protocols. His office hours are always open for cuddles, but all visitors must pay the entry fee of head scratches or treats.
Subgroup: Quantum Pawdynamics and Feline-terferometry
Current Research: Box occupancy optimization and laser pointer trajectory prediction
