  • Supply chain network for hydrogen transportation in Spain 
    Liang, Li (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    Hydrogen fuel is considered one of the major emerging renewable substitutes for fossil fuel. A crucial factor as to whether hydrogen will be successful depends on its cost as a substitute. Recently, there has been a growing ...
  • Surrogate-based optimization of a BioMEMs microfluidic weir 
    Ooi, Boon Hooi (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
    BioMEM microfluidic weirs enable biologists to study biological processes at the cell level. A novel substrate-affixed microfluidic array of weirs allows active sorting of cells via control electrodes. The ability of the ...
  • Surrogate modeling for large-scale black-box systems 
    Liem, Rhea Patricia (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)
    This research introduces a systematic method to reduce the complexity of large-scale blackbox systems for which the governing equations are unavailable. For such systems, surrogate models are critical for many applications, ...
  • A tactical planning model for a serial flow manufacturing system 
    Huang, Bin, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    This project aims to improve the operation and planning of a specific type of manufacturing system, a serial flow line that entails a sequence of process stages. The objective is to investigate inventory policy, raw material ...
  • Testing for jumps and cojumps in financial markets 
    Ju, Cheng, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
    In this thesis, we introduce a new testing methodology to detect cojumps in multi-asset returns. We define a cojump as a jump in at least one dimension of the return processes. For a multivariate process that follows a ...
  • An unstructured finite volume simulator for multiphase flow through fractured-porous media 
    Bajaj, Reena (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    Modeling of multiphase flow in fractured media plays an integral role in management and performance prediction of oil and gas reserves. Geological characterization and nmultiphase flow simulations in fractured media are ...
  • Variational constitutive updates for strain gradient isotropic plasticity 
    Qiao, Lei, S.M. Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2009)
    In the past decades, various strain gradient isotropic plasticity theories have been developed to describe the size-dependence plastic deformation mechanisms observed experimentally in micron-indentation, torsion, bending ...
