| LIDS has received an unrestricted 50K gift from the Periodic Breathing Foundation. The gift was presented by Mr. Robert W. Daly, in memory of his late father, Dr. Richard T. Daly, who received his Ph.D degree from MIT, in physics, and then led a physics team, under Prof. Zacharias supervision, which succeeded in realizing a stable cesium beam frequency standard, leading to the first practical atomic clocks. The gift will be used to seed research on the subject of Sleep Apnea, under the supervision of Prof. John Tsitsiklis. Various forms of sleep apnea afflict millions of people, and the more severe forms are believed to have devastating health side effects. Some of the scientific challenges are to develop better dynamical models for this phenomenon, use them to control sleep apnea, as well as to learn more about this disease by mining patient data. |
