Superconducting nanowire single-photon detectors on aluminum nitride photonic integrated circuits
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
With recent advances in integrated single-photon sources and quantum memories, onchip integration of high-performance single-photon detectors becomes increasingly important. The superconducting nanowire single-photon ...
Interactive visualization of big data leveraging databases for scalable computation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Modern database management systems (DBMS) have been designed to efficiently store, manage and perform computations on massive amounts of data. In contrast, many existing visualization systems do not scale seamlessly from ...
Iron (III) Chloride doping of large-area chemical vapor deposition graphene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
Chemical doping is an effective method of reducing the sheet resistance of graphene. This thesis aims to develop an effective method of doping large area Chemical Vapor Deposition (CVD) graphene using Iron (III) Chloride ...
The stochastic air traffic flow management rerouting problem
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2004)
We formulate a model for planning the rerouting of aircraft to alleviate en-route congestion, with system capacity being modeled stochastically. To overcome problems with tractability, we apply a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition ...
Theory and design of integrated optical isolators and broadband couplers using Fresnel zone plates
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
This thesis is divided into two main sections: the first containing the analysis of the broadband vertical coupler, and the second involving the theory and design of the integrated optical isolators. In the first part we ...
A framework for real time passive data visualizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)
In this thesis, I leveraged the openPDS and funf frameworks to design and implement a framework for visualizing and analyzing data collected passively from mobile devices. The framework integrates with the process of data ...
Building a computer poker agent with emphasis on opponent modeling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
In this thesis, we present a computer agent for the game of no-limit Texas Hold'em Poker for two players. Poker is a partially observable, stochastic, multi-agent, sequential game. This combination of characteristics makes ...
Object discovery via layer disposal
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
A key limitation of semantic image segmentation approaches is that they require large amounts of densely labeled training data. In this thesis, we introduce a method to learn to segment images with unlabeled data. The ...
Human-RRT collaboration in Unmanned Aerial Vehicle mission path planning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are used for a variety of military and commercial purposes, including surveillance, combat, and search and rescue. Current research is looking into combining automation with human supervision ...
Smaller steps for faster algorithms : a new approach to solving linear systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
In this thesis we study iterative algorithms with simple sublinear time update steps, and we show how a mix of of data structures, randomization, and results from numerical analysis allow us to achieve faster algorithms ...
