In the room acoustics measurement process, a non-diffused sound field is neglected in conventional chamber-based studies of absorbing materials, which reduces accuracy and can even produce inconsistent results. An additional ...

We fit the mass and radial profile of the Orphan-Chenab Stream's (OCS) dwarf galaxy progenitor by using turnoff stars in the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and the Dark Energy Camera (DEC) to constrain N-body simulations ...

In the first study (Chapter 2), the plasmonic properties of the structures are explored as the different geometrical parameters, namely sidelength, gap size, tip sharpness, and thickness, are tweaked. We demonstrate the ...

Carbon nanostructures exhibit important physical, chemical, and mechanical properties, however, not all of these have been fully explored. In this thesis I focus on two carbon morphologies, linear carbon chains and hyperbolic ...

Another contribution of the dissertation is our virtual learning from demonstration system, which helps robots learn task knowledge and perform informed motion planning. Successful task motions are demonstrated using human ...

In Experiment 1, I demonstrated that two step lengths of visual look ahead is sufficient for humans to walk over complex terrain while exploiting the inverted-pendulum-like structure of bipedal gait as efficiently as they ...

WEATHERED is a means to give back and say thanks to all who have helped me through life and offer similar aid to anyone willing to listen. Presented within the CRAIVE Lab at the Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute's Technology ...
