High quality stable solutions in social and communication networks
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)Network Formation Games is a rich category of games which studies how a network emerges as an outcome of strategic interaction of self-interested nodes (agents) pursuing their own objectives. The conflicts among node ... -
High-rate ultrasonic data communication through metallic barriers using MIMO-OFDM techniques
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08)Although recent advances in wireless technologies have enabled high rate communication in the dynamic wireless air channel, these technologies are not effective at communication through metallic enclosures due to Faraday ... -
HVDC converters impedance modeling and system stability analysis
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Harmonic linearization is used as the fundamental tool to model the sequence impedances of MMC and LCC as well as the frequency cross-coupling terms. Different from two level-VSC, the steady-state operation of MMC and LCC ... -
Impedance modeling and analysis of type-III wind turbines
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-08)Small-signal interaction between the power grid and converter-based generators is an issue that will become ever more present with the introduction of additional renewable generation year after year. A proven tool to ... -
Improve speed performance of mass data storage systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)The objective of this thesis is to develop system-level design techniques that can improve the speed performance of mass data storage fabric built on low-cost magnetic recording hard disk drives (HDDs). This thesis first ... -
Improved first-order power analysis attacks on low entropy masking schemes
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-05)We validate the efficiency of this attack using side-channel measurements publicly available from the DPA Contest V4. We demonstrate that an attack modeling leakage using leakage sets can recover an encryption key with ... -
Large load manipulation and controller design with flexible joint manipulators
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-05)Recent years have seen an increased interest in the use of flexible joint robots. This is due to wider use of collaborative and space robots. Flexibility is desired for collaborative robots because the inherent compliance ... -
LiDAR data manipulation: object detection, segmentation, and inpainting

Machine learning strategies for power systems
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2021-08)As renewable energy penetration into the United States power system continues to increase, maintaining situational awareness of the complex power grid becomes increasingly challenging. Machine learning models developed ... -
Memory-centric low power digital system design
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-08) -
Metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of II-VI semiconductors for surface passivation of HgCdTe IR detectors
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2016-05)CdTe has been the preferred material for surface passivation of HgCdTe IR detectors. Deposition of CdTe using MOCVD ensures good conformal coverage on mesa-etched, high aspect-ratio focal plane array (FPA) structures for ... -
Microcontroller based handheld acoustic communication & power delivery through metallic barriers
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-08)Acoustic communication solutions to this problem have been explored over the past 15 years but have not been widely deployed. The goal of this work was to develop a hand-held, battery operated system that is capable of ... -
Modeling and analysis of high renewable penetration in New York
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-12)A basic market model uses an iterative commitment and dispatch engine that solves an AC power flow every 5 minutes, before compiling results back to 24-hour periods for analysis. The impact to ancillary service and generator ... -
