Opportunities for U.S.-China scientific collaboration in building a bilateral quantum network
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
From advancements in time transfer to networked science, quantum networks can enable a new host of experiments that would not otherwise be achievable. We can learn a lot about building such a network to connect quantum ...
Open innovation in the US Air Force
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
If the Air Force is to maintain lethality and readiness, we must learn to adapt technologies and praxis within an increasingly diffuse knowledge landscape. This thesis examines two efforts orchestrated through AFWERX that ...
Investigating the role of microglia in myelin development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
We investigate the role of microglia in myelin development. Myelination is an essential process in early development that consists of the ensheathment of axons by myelin, which ensures rapid conduction of action potentials. ...
An exercise in selecting low-cost air quality sensor placements within an urban environment
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Air pollution poses the most important environmental health risk to citizens of major cities all over the world. The high cost of current monitoring programs means that enforcement of current regulation, such as the United ...
Privacy-preserving identity transactions online : the use case of brokered identity federations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Disinformation campaigns, created by fake accounts on online community platforms, have grown into one of the biggest threats against democracy, freedom and user perception of the truth. This thesis argues that mitigating ...
Networked interactions, graphical models and econometrics perspectives in data analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
This thesis is composed of two independent parts. In Part I, we study higher-order interactions in both graphical models and networks, i.e., interactions between more than two nodes. In the graphical model setting, we do ...
Learning from supply shocks in the energy market : evidence from local and global impacts of the shale revolution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this thesis, we carry out three studies of the local and global impacts of supply shocks in energy markets, and also analyze certain properties of these markets. First, the relationship between US power plants and local ...
Estimating lower bounds for time series prediction error
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Research on how to evaluate the time series prediction algorithms are relatively under investigated compared to those to develop prediction algorithms. This research presents a way to estimate lower bounds for a time series ...
A machine learning approach to evaluating renewable energy technology : an alternative LACE study on solar photo-voltaic (PV)
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Currently, renewable technologies are often evaluated using the Levelized cost of electricity (LCOE), which is a measure of building and operating a generating plant over an assumed αnancial life and duty cycle. Naturally, ...
Encryption to implement mechanism design solutions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Encryption - the process of encoding information - mitigates the damage that comes from obstacles to exchange: private information, limited communication, and limited commitment. Here I would emphasize specifically that ...
