  • Semantic embodied navigation : developing agents that navigate from language and vision

    Creator:
    Krantz, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Autonomous robotic agents are on their way to becoming in-home personal assistants, construction assistants, and warehouse workers. The degree of autonomy of such systems is reflected by the manner in which we specify goals to them; the abstraction of low-level commands to high-level goals goes hand-in-hand with increased autonomy. In...

  • Photostability of organic semiconductors : from bulk to nanoscales

    Creator:
    Quist, Nicole Arianne
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors have attracted considerable attention due to their applications in low-cost, solution-processable (opto)electronic devices. An important class of high-performance organic semiconductors is pentacene derivatives, which exhibit high charger carrier mobilities in field-effect transistors and ultrafast singlet fission in photovoltaic devices. These derivatives have served as benchmark materials for systematic...

  • (Opto)electronic Properties of Xylindein and Organic (Opto)electronic Devices

    Creator:
    Giesbers, Gregory J.
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors are of interest for (opto)electronic applications due to their low cost, solution processability, and tunable properties. Natural product-derived organic pigments have attracted attention due to their extraordinary environmental stability and unexpectedly good optoelectronic performance, in spite of only partially conjugated molecular structures. Fungi-derived pigments are a naturally sourced,...

  • Exciton and Polariton Nature in Organic Crystals

    Creator:
    Van Schenck, Jonathan D. B.
    Abstract:
    Understanding the impact of inter-molecular orientation on the optical proper-ties of organic semiconductors is important for designing next-generation organic (opto)electronic and photonic devices. However, fundamental aspects of how various features of molecular packing in crystalline systems determine the nature and dynamics of excitons have been a subject of debate. Toward...

  • Weak-supervision Time-series Analysis

    Creator:
    You, Zeyu
    Abstract:
    Efficient time-series analysis can impact multiple application domains such as motif discovery in gene analysis or music data, extracting spectro-temporal patterns in acoustic scene analysis, or annotating and classifying electrical bio-signals (such as ECG, EEG, and EMG) for medical applications. Time-series analysis involves a variety of tasks. To predict future...

  • Photophysics of organic semiconductors at the nanoscale

    Creator:
    Grollman, Rebecca R.
    Abstract:
    Organic semiconductors are used in a wide variety of applications including transistors,solar cells, and light emitting diodes. These materials are solution-processable,low cost, and tunable. Many successful organic optoelectronic materials utilizeblends of several types of molecules (such as donors and acceptors) in order topromote charge generation. As blends are an inherently...

  • Electronic and Optical Properties of Organic Semiconductors : Experiment and Simulation

    Creator:
    Johnson, Brian
    Abstract:
    The continued development of organic semiconductor materials relies on an understanding of the relationship between optoelectronic properties, molecular structure, and molecular interaction. Several detailed studies of electronic properties in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. A computational model which allows the extraction of charge generation and transport properties from experimental data...

  • Analysis of spatial data from terrain models for landslide predictive mapping

    Creator:
    Santha, Rubini
    Abstract:
    Landslides are a pervasive hazard that can result in substantial damage to properties and loss of life throughout the world. To understand the nature and scope of the hazard, landslide hazard mapping has been an area of intense research by identifying areas most susceptible to landslides in order to mitigate...

  • Optoelectronic properties of organic semiconductor materials : from bulk to single molecule

    Creator:
    Shepherd, Whitney E. B.
    Abstract:
    The behavior and application of organic semiconductor materials depend strongly on their molecular structure, and molecular interactions. Several studies of intermolecular interactions in functionalized polyacene materials are presented. The degree and onset of aggregation of a functionalized anthradithiophene derivative was studied as a function of concentration in two different host...
