PDE-constrained optimization algorithms for inverse problems in biomechanics and mechanobiology
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2017-08)Both problems described above are governed by the same system of elliptic PDEs that enforce mechanical equilibrium for an elastic material. In this thesis, we apply an optimization framework and treat the above two types ... -

Performance comparison of GPU acceleration of MilkyWay@Home N-body
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2018-05)Presentation of an efficient GPU based N-Body octree construction algorithm for use on the MilkyWay@Home project based on parallel tree construction techniques outlined in Karras [2012]. Implementation of GPU based brute ... -
Performance of a passive, wireless, resonant force sensor for smart orthopedic implants
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2020-08)Our wireless, passive resonant force sensors are composed of two mirrored, parallel, Archimedean spiral coils separated by a solid insulating dielectric material that deforms in response to an applied load. An axial load ... -
Photoelastic analysis of residual stress arising from water interaction at glass surfaces
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2022-08)A high-resolution characterization technique was developed based on existing polarized light microscopy techniques in concert with digital photography. This technique was employed to measure the residual stress near glass ... -
Photographic censusing of zebra and giraffe in the Nairobi National Park
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2015-12)In March of 2015, the IBEIS team helped to administer "The Great Zebra & Giraffe Count" (GZGC), which collected 9,406 images from 58 volunteer citizen scientists. The contributed images yielded a total of 8,659 sightings ... -

Planning and evaluation of federated queries on the web
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2013-05)To demonstrate the practicality of this federated query planning framework, we present results of empirical evaluation of the framework components over a real-world dataset of bibliographic data. These results show that ... -
Plastics without petroleum: History and politics of 'green' plastics in the United States
(Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, Troy, NY, 2012-12)Research in science and technology studies (STS) indicates that social structures shape perceptions of problems, condition viable solutions, and limit the diversity of stakeholders and ideas present in the social construction ... -
