Raman and fluorescence spectroscopy of in vitro skin tissue for diagnostics and monitoring
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Raman spectroscopy is a vibrational scattering technique that uses a laser to measure the spectral fingerprint of a molecule. Skin Raman has applications for noninvasive cancer diagnostics and glucose sensing. A major ...
Are learned molecular representations ready for prime time?
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Advancements in neural machinery have led to a wide range of algorithmic solutions for molecular property prediction. Two classes of models in particular have yielded promising results: neural networks applied to computed ...
Topics in fixing knockout tournaments : bribery, NP-hardness, and parameterization
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
In this thesis, we analyze the problem of fixing balanced knockout tournaments by arranging the tournament's initial seeding to guarantee one player's victory. We characterize the problem's hardness through a variety of ...
VMCC : a virtual reality framework for augmenting mission control operations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Mission control has played an integral part of NASA missions since the early space exploration days. As NASA aims to return back to the Moon and prepare for sending astronauts to Mars, the mission architectures are increasing ...
Integrated incremental slicing for 3D printed object creation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Advances in hardware for 3D printing have made personal fabrication more accessible for many new users. However, the separation of 3D modeling and 3D slicing software remains a barrier for new users in the design stage. ...
Motion-aware monocular depth completion for aerial vehicles with deep neural networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Depth data is critical for autonomous robots like cars and aerial vehicles to understand their environments for obstacle avoidance and path planning. Classically, depth data for these robotics applications is obtained with ...
b_verify : scalable non-equivocation for verifiable management of data
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Equivocation allows attackers to present inconsistent data to users. This is not just a problem for Internet applications: the global economy relies heavily on verifiable and transferable records of property, liens, and ...
Single molecule detection and classification using nanogaps
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)
Finding life beyond Earth has been a major focus of space exploration since the dawn of the space age. There have been a number of instruments developed for the purposes of life detection, but there are lmited options for ...
Parallel five-cycle counting algorithms
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The frequency of given subgraphs in large graphs interests many research communities that use graphs to represent their data. However, subgraph counting is a challenging problem even with subgraph sizes as small as five ...
Interactive visualization and discovery of possible transmission routes of Clostridioides difficile
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In the medical setting, prevention of healthcare-acquired infections (HAIs) is an important area of research in order to mitigate extraneous complications and medical costs. In the United States alone, infections caused ...
