Geometry-driven filamentary structures : elastic gridshells, weaves, clasps, and knots
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
In this thesis, we cover four research topics in the realm of the mechanics of slender structures involving strong geometric constraints: elastic gridshells, triaxial weaves, elastic clasps, and elastic knots. These studies ...
A model for the dig-in instability in serial sectioning and iterative orthogonal cutting
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Microtome serial sectioning is a key part of building brain maps of neurological tissue, which are made by serially cutting resin-embedded brain tissue into thin sections, followed by imaging on an electron microscope; ...
Accelerated development of photovoltaics by physics-informed machine learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Terawatt-scale deployment of photovoltaics (PV) is required to mitigate the most severe effects of climate change. Despite sustained growth in PV installations, technoeconomic models suggest that further technical advances ...
