  • Evolving character controllers for collision preparation

    Creator:
    Rose, Robert W.
    Abstract:
    Full dynamic control of physically simulated characters is the holy grail of video games and other interactive applications. Recent advances in the field have presented controllers that can handle the balance and fall response after a collision. This thesis addresses the development of a controller that handles the response before...

  • Interpretable Machine Learning: Applications in Biology and Genomics

    Creator:
    Danaee, Padideh
    Abstract:
    Machine learning (ML) and deep learning (DL) models impact our daily lives with applications in natural language modeling, image analysis, healthcare, genomics, and bioinformatics. The exponential growth of biological sequence data necessitates accompanying advances in computational methods. Although deep learning is highly effective for detecting and classifying biological sequences, challenges...

  • Sensor Interface Circuit Design towards CMOS Scaling

    Creator:
    Liu, Jialin
    Abstract:
    Sensor system plays an important role in connecting everything including human body to the electrical information systems that we have built and that we are going to build, to make the world more intelligent and efficient. One of the key propulsive forces behind these emerging techniques is CMOS scaling that...

  • Fabrication of a flexible glucose sensing catheter for human implantation

    Creator:
    Matthews, David J.
    Abstract:
    Flexible electronics processing techniques were applied to integrate a glucose sensor with a hormone-delivery catheter in order to create a cheap and minimally invasive method for patients with type 1 diabetes to continually monitor and control their blood sugar levels. Ultimately, this work intends to move toward the development of...

  • Modeling programmer navigation : an empirical evaluation of predictive models

    Creator:
    Piorkowski, David
    Abstract:
    Software developers frequently need to perform code maintenance tasks, but doing so requires time-consuming navigation through code. A variety of tools are aimed at easing this navigation by using models to predict places in the code that a developer might want to visit, and then providing shortcuts so that the...

  • Amorphous metal thin films as a platform for solution processing

    Creator:
    Landau, Nicholas P.
    Abstract:
    The research presented herein represents an effort to combine the ultra-smooth surface of an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) with a solution-processed dielectric synthesized via prompt inorganic condensation (PIC). Analysis of dielectric film quality is carried out via electrical measurements of metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes. Anneals at 500 and 700 °C...

  • Object highlighting : real-time boundary detection using a Bayesian network

    Creator:
    Jia, Jin
    Abstract:
    Image segmentation continues to be a fundamental problem in computer vision and image understanding. In this thesis, we present a Bayesian network that we use for object boundary detection in which the MPE (most probable explanation) before any evidence can produce multiple non-overlapping, non-self-intersecting closed contours and the MPE with...

  • Impacts of Prediction on Wave Energy Converter Control

    Creator:
    Comard, Colin Q.
    Abstract:
    Ocean waves provide a promising source of renewable energy for the North American electric grid. However, ideal control of wave energy converters (WECs) requires perfect forecasting of future wave conditions, and waves can be unpredictable. This paper presents a comparison of three different prediction methods and analyzes their performance in...

  • The InclusiveMag Method: A Start Towards More Inclusive Software for Diverse Populations

    Creator:
    Mendez, Christopher
    Abstract:
    How can software practitioners assess whether their software supports diverse users? Although there are empirical processes that can be used to find “inclusivity bugs” piecemeal, what is often needed is a systematic inspection method to assess software’s support for diverse populations. To help fill this gap, this thesis introduces InclusiveMag,...

  • Atomic Layer Processing for Next-Generation Microelectronic Materials

    Creator:
    Holden, Konner E. K.
    Abstract:
    Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is an enabling technique for many new micro- and nanoscale technologies. The self-limiting surface chemical reactions by which ALD fundamentally operates give rise to uniquely high precision (atomic) control over deposited film thickness, uniformity over large areas, and conformality over complex and extreme topographies. One such...
