Optimal sizing of solar and battery assets in decentralized micro-grids with demand-side management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Solar-based community micro-grids and individual home systems have been recognized as key enablers of electricity provision to the over one billion people living without energy access to-date. Despite significant cost ...
A semantic data federation engine : design, implementation & applications in educational information management
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
With the advent of the World Wide Web, the amount of digital information in the world has increased exponentially. The ability to organize this deluge of data, retrieve it, and combine it with other data would bring numerous ...
Operational Impacts of Responsive Electricity Loads: A Modeling Framework Including Policy Implications for Cyprus
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2013)
In order to meet EU mandates, the island nation of Cyprus must raise penetration of renewable energy from roughly 5% in 2013 to 16% in 2020. This means Cyprus will need economical ways of balancing intermittency, a special ...

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 ...
