Networks are essential modeling tools in engineering, business, and public policy research. They can represent physical connections, such as manufacturing processes. They can be relationships among people, such as patient ...

This thesis frames design in infrastructure public-private partnerships (P3s) as an exercise in negotiated collaboration. I investigate whether the collaborative design process in P3s can systematically deliver the benefits ...

This thesis proposes a research framework that leverages high-resolution traffic and urban infrastructure data to improve analytical approximation methods used to inform strategic decisions in designing last-mile distribution ...

China's rapid economic growth in the twenty-first century has driven, and been driven by, concomitant motorization and growth of passenger and freight mobility, leading to greater energy demand and environmental impacts. ...

Electroporation, a widely used gene delivery technique for bacterial transformation, involves applying an electric field to increase cell membrane permeability. However, the traditional cuvette-based protocol is laborious, ...

Observational data in physics and the life sciences comes in many varieties. Broadly, we can divide datasets into cross-sectional data which record a set of observations at a given time, dynamical data which follow how ...

AI systems are augmenting humans' capabilities in settings such as healthcare and programming, forming human-AI teams. To enable more accurate and timely decisions, we need to optimize the performance of the human-AI team ...

The de facto representation of a social network is a graph— individuals are represented as nodes, and relationships between pairs of individuals are represented as edges. This results in a powerful abstraction by which ...

Aging individuals tend to suffer from chronic conditions, some of which manifest in midlife (e.g., type 2 diabetes and hypertension) and some later (e.g., neurodegenerative disorders). As the global population increases ...

In this thesis, I document the findings and process through which we built an educational platform (JANN) to do research while having a positive impact on a community. Through JANN we have coordinated more than 100k hours ...
