Principal Investigator
Postdoctoral Fellows
Mehran Mirramezani
I am an NSF Computing Innovation Postdoctoral Scholar under the direction of Professor Ryan P. Adams in Computer Science at Princeton University. My postdoctoral research focuses on introducing novel computational modeling paradigms integrating computational mechanics, machine learning architectures, and advanced optimization techniques to develop innovative data-driven and learning-based modeling approaches for modern engineering problem-solving. Prior to Princeton, I completed my Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering at University of California Berkeley.
Jenny (Ni) Zhan
Personal WebsiteI am a postdoctoral researcher in the lab, currently working on machine learning and simulation for atomic scale materials. I completed my BS from UT Austin, and PhD in chemical engineering and MS in machine learning (ML) at Carnegie Mellon University, where I worked on physical phenomena of liquid alloys using molecular dynamics simulation, neural network potentials, and uncertainty quantification methods for ML.
Graduate Students
Joshua Aduol
Samuel Barnett
Personal WebsiteSamuel Barnett is a Ph.D. candidate in Computer Science at Princeton University, advised by Ryan Adams and Tom Griffiths. His research interests include cooperative AI, reinforcement learning, social cognition, and scalable methods for Bayesian machine learning. He was previously the Daniel M. Sachs Scholar at Princeton, and received a Master’s in Mathematics and Philosophy at the University of Oxford, where his dissertation on convergence problems in generative adversarial nets was supervised by Varun Kanade.
Alex Guerra
Olga Solodova
Kathryn Wantlin
Personal WebsiteMy research interests center around the design of algorithms for machine learning and multi-agent systems that are flexible, robust, and generalizable, with applications in engineering, natural sciences, and the arts. Recently, I’ve been thinking about decentralized morphogenesis and the joint evolution of control and morphology in nature and reproducing these properties in engineered systems. Previously, I received my M.S.E. from Princeton University and my A.B. from Harvard University, both in computer science.
Undergraduate Students

Aditya Palaparthi
Personal WebsiteHi, I’m Aditya! I’m an undergraduate student studying computer science at Princeton. Here at LIPS, I work on finding better solutions for common mechanical design problems using deep generative modeling. My research interests are generative modeling, ML-accelerated design/simulation, and deep reinforcement learning, but I am always exploring new research in the AI space. Outside of the lab, I love teaching CS and enjoy designing/building full-stack applications.
