Optimized passive heating for multi-family dwellings
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-05)A significant contributing factor to the high amount of electricity consumption are the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems used to maintain buildings at comfortable temperatures. Although many ... -
Optimizing diffusion and pricing in networks of independent agents
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-05) -
Optimizing flexibility in a sugar packing system
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 1995-12) -
Optimizing personalized menus and incentives to increase driver autonomy in ridesharing and crowdsourced delivery platforms with stochastic driver behavior
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Peer-to-peer logistics platforms have become increasingly popular in recent years for performing last mile delivery, ridesharing, and more. In general, current platforms have the suppliers i.e. the drivers either sift ... -
Optimizing the operation of windfarms, energy storage and flexible loads in modern power systems and deregulated electricity markets
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)The intermittent nature of wind power is a hindrance to the efficient participation of windfarms in the day-ahead and forward electricity markets. In this regard, a flexible forward contract is proposed in this dissertation ... -
Optimizing the recovery of disrupted supply networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)The objective of this research is to improve the resilience of supply networks, more specifically multi-echelon assembly supply chain (MEASC) networks, against large-scale, disruptive events. A MEASC network is a distributed ... -

(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-08) -
Optoelectronic characterization of hyperdoped silicon photocells
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-12) -
Optoelectronic characterization of hyperdoped silicon thin films
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-12)By controlling the surface illumination conditions the locations within devices where photocarriers are generated can be manipulated. This level of control allows for the investigation of carrier transport behavior within ... -
Optoelectronic devices using tailored- and low-refractive index nanoporous thin films
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)A multiple-discrete-layer tailored- and low-refractive index antireflection (AR) coating is designed and experimentally demonstrated on an inverted metamorphic (IMM) triple-junction solar cell. Such AR coating has broadband ... -
Orbit determination for space-based near co-planar observations of space debris using Gooding's method and extended Kalman filtering
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)This report examines the feasibility of determining an objects state from a set of space-based angles only observations taken in a near co-planar orbit. Initial range estimates are presumed to be accurate to within 0.5 km ... -
Orbital debris selection by means of genetic algorithm optimization
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-05)This thesis details development methodologies and code implementation for Obsolete Spacecraft Capture and Removal (OSCaR) cube satellite target selection algorithm. The algorithm selects a set of objects ideal for OSCaR ... -
