Data analytics of time-series for complex (biological) systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Complex time-series systems such as biological networks have been studied for many years using conventional molecular and cellular techniques. However, the multiscale nature of these networks make these techniques limited ... -
Data quality monitoring and improvement of synchronized phasor measurements
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)Phasor measurement units (PMU) provide time-synchronized high-resolution measurements at rates from 30 up to 120 samples per second. Since the provided synchrophasor measurements facilitate the wide-area monitoring, ... -
Data set versioning through linked data models
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-08)Our versioning model, implemented as VersOn, enables more complete change capture using linked-data and exposes the information stored in change logs as linked-data. The model achieves distinct AIM change capture, ... -
Data-driven control of laser powder bed fusion
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)There is growing attention to additive manufacturing (AM) processes in industry and academia. Specifically, one metal AM process - laser powder bed fusion (LPBF) - is particularly attractive as it can directly produce ... -
Data-driven stochastic modeling of guided wave propagation and robust damage diagnosis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Modern day civil, mechanical, and aeronautical structures are transitioning towards a continuous, online, and automated maintenance paradigm in order to ensure increased safety and reliability. The field of structural ... -
Deciding who, what, why, and how : aggregating preferences over agents, alternatives, axioms, and rules
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Collective decision making requires dealing with competing preferences. One probably needs little convincing that such problems can be complex and difficult to solve. There are many types of preferences, many different ... -
Deep neural networks for mri applications
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has been widely used for clinical disease diagnosis and neuroscience research since its invention. Compared with other commonly used medical imaging modalities like computed tomography and ... -
Demonstration of a mid-infrared carbon monoxide sensor
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2008-12)Initial stages in the development of a carbon monoxide diagnostic are completed. This diagnostic is unique in that it utilizes mid-infrared radiation generated by a quantum cascade laser to perform absorption spectroscopy. ... -
Dendritic spine segmentation from 3D confocal microscopic images
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2009-12) -
Design and analysis of the instrument package on the Firefly mission to study TGFs from lightning
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2011-05) -
Design and evaluation of a multi-user collaborative audio environment for musical experimentation
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)This thesis presents a new type of digital audio environment based on musical experimentation and exploration rather than high quality digital audio production. The system is designed for users with and without experience ... -
Design and fabrication of the teepee photonic crystal for high-efficiency thin film solar cell architectures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)The goal of this thesis is to provide the fabrication foundation and analysis of a photonic crystal-based tunnel oxide passivated contact (TOPCon) solar cell. A theoretical framework will be provided that studies the light ... -
Design and implementation of the web interfaces and middleware for synergy project
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-05)Recent biomedical researches usually involve novel combination of molecules. The goal of the Synergy Project is to facilitate biomedical researchers to find hidden relation among molecules and their potential collaborators. ... -
Design and optimization of rotorcraft morphing structures
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)In Chapter 5, an active rotor blade shape-morphing system is designed and optimized which quasi-statically reconfigures the blade between a standard airfoil geometry designed for low-speed operation and an elliptical variant ... -
Design and performance improvement of AC machines sharing a common stator
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)Sometimes, torque pulsation is the major drawback of permanent magnet synchronous machines. There are several sources of torque pulsations, such as back-EMF distortion, inductance variation and cogging torque due to presence ... -

Designing digital food sovereignty with gis mapping in response to urban food insecurity
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)Food insecurity is an international phenomena characterized by the lack of consistent access to affordable healthy food. Globally, the urban poor are especially susceptible to food insecurity, and in the United States, ... -
Determining dynamic properties of a nanoscale aerogel via an advanced transfer function method
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2014-08)A newly-published transfer function method is employed to determine dynamic properties of an aerogel. Termed the "dynamic mass method," it can be applied to any porous, elastic material and is thought to be superior to ...
