Investigation of new compatibilizer systems for wood-polyethylene composites

Creator:: Geng, Yu
Abstract:: Wood-plastic composites (WPCs) are one of the fastest-growing sectors of the wood composites industry. However, the strengths of WPCs are typically low because of the poor interfacial adhesion between hydrophilic wood and hydrophobic thermoplastics. A compatibilizer that can form bridges between wood and plastics is required to give WPCs desirable...

Deep Perception Without a Camera: Enabling 3D Reconstruction and Object Recognition using Lidar and Sonar Sensing

Creator:: DeBortoli, Robert A.
Abstract:: Deep learning has recently revolutionized robot perception in many canonical robotic applications, such as autonomous driving. However, a similar transformation has yet to occur in more harsh environments including underwater and underground. This is due in part to the difficulty in deploying robots in these environments, which lack large real...

Leveraging Structures of the Data in Deep Learning

Creator:: Li, Xingyi
Abstract:: The performance of deep learning frameworks could be significantly improved through considering the particular underlying structures for each dataset. In this thesis, I summarize our three work about boosting the performance of deep learning models through leveraging structures of the data. In the first work, we theoretically justify that, for...

Design of a 14-bit continuous-time Delta-Sigma A/D modulator with 2.5MHz signal bandwidth

Creator:: Li, Zhimin
Abstract:: In recent years, there has been growing interest in both industry and academia to use continuous-time (CT) Δ-Σ A/D converters for wideband wireless and wireline communication applications. So far no reported CT Δ-Σ A/D modulator achieves 14-bit or higher dynamic range (DR) with more than 2MHz signal bandwidth (equivalently 4MS/s)....

Ultra-energy-efficient Silicon Photonic Modulators Driven by Transparent Conductive Oxides

Creator:: Li, Erwen
Abstract:: Silicon photonics has become the most promising platform for future large-scale optical interconnect and optical computing systems due to its inherent CMOS compatibility, which brings exclusive advantages in bandwidth density, energy efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Parallel optical interconnects based on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have the capacity to meet the...

Investigating Latent State and Uncertainty Representations in Reinforcement Learning

Creator:: Koul, Anurag
Abstract:: Learning latent space representations of high-dimensional world states has been at the core of recent rapid growth in reinforcement learning(RL). At the same time, RL algo- rithms have suffered from ignored uncertainties in the predicted estimates of model-free or model-based methods. In our work, we investigate both of these aspects...

Object Tracking-by-Segmentation in Videos

Creator:: Chen, Sheng
Abstract:: This thesis focuses on the problem of object tracking. Given a video, the general objective of tracking is to track the location over time of one or more targets in the image sequence. This is a very challenging task as algorithms need to deal with problems such as appearance variations,...

Assessment of High Mobility Oxide Thin-Film Transistors

Creator:: Stewart, Kevin A.
Abstract:: The trend towards higher resolution, faster refresh rate active-matrix liquid-crystal displays (AMLCDs) as well as the emergence of active-matrix organic light-emitting diode (AMOLED) displays is driving the demand for amorphous oxide semiconductor thin-film transistors (AOS TFTs) with higher mobility. A physics-based model for carrier transport in an amorphous semiconductor is...

High-Energy Lithium-Sulfur Batteries and Non-Metallic Ion Aqueous Batteries: Integrating Experiment and Theoretical Modeling

Creator:: Shin, Woochul
Abstract:: Humanities have been craving more freedom and conveniences in whatever form. Carriages evolved to cars and ultimately to aircraft so that one can reach any place in the globe within a day. The mobile phone has enabled people to make a phone call without a need to find a phone...
