Dynamic prediction of terminal-area severe convective weather penetration
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Despite groundbreaking technology and revised operating procedures designed to improve the safety of air travel, numerous aviation accidents still occur every year. According to a recent report by the FAA's Aviation Weather ...
Predicting mortality for patients in critical care : a univariate flagging approach
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Predicting outcomes for critically ill patients is a topic of considerable interest. The most widely used models utilize data from early in a patient's stay to predict risk of death. While research has shown that use of ...
Anomaly detection methods for unmanned underwater vehicle performance data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
This thesis considers the problem of detecting anomalies in performance data for unmanned underwater vehicles(UUVs). UUVs collect a tremendous amount of data, which operators are required to analyze between missions to ...

Multi-objective optimization of next-generation aircraft collision avoidance software
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Developed in the 1970's and 1980's, the Traffic Alert and Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) is the last safety net to prevent an aircraft mid-air collision. Although TCAS has been historically very effective, TCAS logic ...
Modeling the effects of advanced automation and process design on Cell Line Development
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Research and development of biologic drugs is a time- and resource-intensive process that can span several years and billions of dollars. Any improvements in the efficiency and end-to-end cycle time of this process provide ...
Modeling and economic evaluation of early stage clinical monoclonal antibody manufacturing using single use technology
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
A critical cost driver in the product development process is the manufacturing of clinical trial material supplies. The clinical manufacturing process operates under similar regulatory burdens as commercial biopharmaceutical ...
