Approaches to education market design
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2016)This thesis consists of essays about how to improve education markets through analyzing data generated by such markets. In chapter 1, I start with looking at how families decide which school to attend in a school choice ... -
Approaches to enhance driver situational assessment aids
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2007)Collision warning systems encounter a fundamental trade-off between providing the driver more time in which to respond and alerting the driver unnecessarily. The probability that a driver successfully avoids a hazard ... -
Approaches to incorporating robustness into airline scheduling
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2000)The airline scheduling process used by major airlines today aims to develop optimal schedules which maximize revenue. However, these schedules are often far from "optimal" once deployed in the real world because they do ... -
Approaches to investigating antibiotic efficacy and discovery of treatment strategies against antibiotic tolerance
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2022-05)While it is widely understood that antibiotic resistance is challenging the efficacy of our antibiotic therapies, there is a growing appreciation for the clinical importance of other ways that bacteria can survive antibiotic ... -
Approaches to mechanism design with boundedly rational agents
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2012)This dissertation ties together three papers on mechanism design with boundedly rational agents. These papers explore theoretically whether, and to what extent, limitations on agents' ability to strategically misrepresent ... -
Approaches to modeling market liquidity
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Intraday data was collected for the U.S. Financial Sector ETF and two of its component stocks: Bank of America and Citigroup. The analysis period includes 32 trading days, ranging from February 4, 2019 to March 20, 2019. ... -
Approaches to multi-agent learning
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Systems involving multiple autonomous entities are becoming more and more prominent. Sensor networks, teams of robotic vehicles, and software agents are just a few examples. In order to design these systems, we need methods ... -
Approaches to optimal inertial instrument calibration using slewing
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)Calibration of an inertial measurement unit is important to the success of accuracy-sensitive missions. This thesis analyzes calibration techniques for two inertial measurement mechanizations: (1) an inertially stabilized ... -
Approaches to representing aircraft fuel efficiency performance for the purpose of a commercial aircraft certification standard
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Increasing concern over the potential harmful effects of green house gas emissions from various sources has motivated the consideration of an aircraft certification standard as one way to reduce aircraft C02 emissions and ... -
Approaches to study Zn(II) deficiency and transport in biology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)Divalent zinc, Zn(II), is an abundant and essential metal ion for human health. Across diverse biological settings, it stabilizes the structure of proteins, serves as a catalytic cofactor in enzymes with disparate functions, ... -
