From Japan to the Moon (and back)

After studying AeroAstro at MIT, Dylan Gaillard traveled to Japan through MISTI, applying his experience with autonomous systems to ispace’s lunar lander project and learning about community resilience in tsunami-impacted Kesennuma. Now back at MIT for graduate school, he continues to pursue what drives him: exploring the unknown, expanding human knowledge, and creating meaningful impact.

The Massachusetts Institute of Technology is an independent, coeducational, privately endowed university in Cambridge, Massachusetts. Our mission is to advance knowledge; to educate students in science, engineering, technology, humanities and social sciences; and to tackle the most pressing problems facing the world today. We are a community of hands-on problem-solvers in love with fundamental science and eager to make the world a better place.

The MIT YouTube channel features videos about all types of MIT research, including the robot cheetah, LIGO, gravitational waves, mathematics, and bombardier beetles, as well as videos on origami, time capsules, and other aspects of life and culture on the MIT campus. Our goal is to open the doors of MIT and bring the Institute to the world through video.
