CSAIL Director's Office

CSAIL Director's Office

The CSAIL Director’s Office team supports CSAIL’s Director, Prof. Daniela Rus, by providing services across CSAIL in three main areas:

Planning and Initiatives Services

Program and project management is provided for the DSTA, GIST and Toyota Research Institute programs. Staff support the planning done by the Community of Research groups and the CSAIL Awards Planning Committee. In collaboration with others, logistical services are provided for management of the CSAIL Living Lab and the R&D Pub.

Event Management Services

Throughout the year, CSAIL hosts visitors and holds meetings and seminars. The Director's office team works with the event leaders to plan event agendas, book meeting venues, hire catering services, and ensure the rest of the logistics for the event run smoothly. Examples of events managed include the CSAIL Annual Meeting, Staff Appreciation, holiday socials, and more. Seminars and talks include Hot Topics, Dertouzos Lecture Series and the CSAIL Forum. For visitors, team members conduct tours of CSAIL and the CSAIL Living Lab.

Administrative Services

The CSAIL Director's schedule is constantly changing, and this team manages her calendar by responding to requests for meetings and setting up logistics. Reporting is also supported, including CSAIL’s portion of the MIT President’s annual report and the CSAIL Annual Report. And finally, the team provides keys to CSAIL offices and other rooms, the CSAIL Living Lab, and coordinates use of the R&D Lobby (32-401), and R&D Pub (32-410).
