  • Atomic solid state energy scale applied to novel thin-film solar absorbers

    Creator:
    Pelatt, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    The atomic solid state energy (SSE) scale is introduced as a tool for inorganic materials design. The SSE scale is obtained by assessing an average electron affinity (EA) (for a cation) or an average ionization potential (IP) (for an anion) for each atom using data from compounds having that specific...

  • Time-based noise-shaping techniques for time-to-digital and analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Young, Brian LeRoy
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, time-based signal processing techniques and their applications in oversampling and noise-shaping data converters are examined. These techniques demonstrate the ability to shift the burden of high performance analog circuits from the compressed voltage-domain to the augmented time-domain. First, the potential of high order noise-shaping and phase-domain feedback...

  • Noise and Blocker Cancellation Techniques for Power and Area Efficient Wireless Receivers

    Creator:
    Pourbagheri, Saeed
    Abstract:
    The design of mobile wireless devices has always focused on reducing power, area, and cost. This dissertation proposes two techniques that are leveraged to save power and area and therefore cost. The first techniques reduces the noise in the receiver and results in a relaxed power requirement. The second technique...

  • Development of a grid-scale energy storage solution via demand response using model predictive control of multiple residential water heaters

    Creator:
    Halamay, Douglas A.
    Abstract:
    As the growth of renewable energy sources, such as wind, solar, and ocean wave, increases, their impact on the electrical grid has been rapidly escalating. Although renewable resources have been able to offset some traditional generation, they have also brought a need for increasing reserve capacity due to their non-dispatchable,...

  • Explanations and Processes to Enable Humans to Assess AI with Respect to Manipulable Properties

    Creator:
    Dodge, Jonathan E.
    Abstract:
    Assessing AI systems is difficult. Humans rely on AI systems in increasing ways, both visible and invisible, meaning a variety of stakeholders need a variety of assessment tools (e.g., a professional auditor, a developer, and an end user all have different needs). We posit that it is possible to provide...

  • Variable sampling compensation of networked control systems with delays using neural networks

    Creator:
    Lopez-Echevarria, Daniel
    Abstract:
    In networked control systems (NCS) information or packets usually flow from a sensor or a set of sensors to a remotely located controller. Then the controller processes the received information and sends a series of control commands to the actuators through a communication network which could be either wireless or...

  • Test case prioritization

    Creator:
    Malishevsky, Alexey Grigorievich
    Abstract:
    Regression testing is an expensive software engineering activity intended to provide confidence that modifications to a software system have not introduced faults. Test case prioritization techniques help to reduce regression testing cost by ordering test cases in a way that better achieves testing objectives. In this thesis, we are interested...

  • Feedback in multiple antenna wireless communication systems

    Creator:
    Xu, Tao
    Abstract:
    Multiple-input multiple-output wireless systems promise significant capacity gain and/or diversity gain over single antenna systems. If channel state information (CSI) is available at both the transmitter and the receiver, the performance can be further improved. In this thesis, first, we study binary index feedback problem in beamforming systems when the...

  • A Novel CCRW Receiver with Variable Width Window for Mitigating Multipath and Ambiguity in GNSS Positioning

    Creator:
    Alhussein, Fahad
    Abstract:
    This work presents a novel CCRW receiver that utilizes a window of variable width, for e˙ectively mitigating multipath and ambiguity in both civil and military positioning applica-tions using Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). This CCRW receiver incorporates a single stroboscopic window, whose width is iteratively reduced until the e˙ect of...

  • Visual object discovery and understanding

    Creator:
    Yuan, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Learning to recognize objects is a fundamental and essential step in human perception and understanding of the world. Accordingly, research of object discovery across diverse modalities plays a pivotal role in the context of computer vision. This field not only contributes significantly to enhancing our understanding of visual information but...
