An operator-customized wavelet-finite element approach for the adaptive solution of second-order partial differential equations on unstructured meshes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
The Finite Element Method (FEM) is a widely popular method for the numerical solution of Partial Differential Equations (PDE), on multi-dimensional unstructured meshes. Lagrangian finite elements, which preserve C⁰ continuity ...
Simulations and predictions of mosquito populations in rural Africa using rainfall inputs from satellites and forecasts
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
This thesis describes studies on the use of the Hydrology, Entomology and Malaria Transmission Simulator (HYDREMATS) developed and tested against field data by Bomblies et al. (2008) in simulating and predicting the potential ...
Autonomous planning and resource allocation in reconfigurable smart sensing networks
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Structural health monitoring (SHM) uses sensor data to quantitatively assess the integrity and performance of infrastructure, as a basis for extending the lifespan of aging systems. Wireless sensor networks promise to ...
On traffic disruptions : event detection from visual data and Bayesian congestion games
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
Road traffic is often subject to random disturbances due to weather, incidents, or special events. Effectively detecting and disseminating information about disturbances is a key goal of modern, "smart" infrastructure. ...
