Computational Challenges in E-Commerce
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2009)Economic and social sciences will drive Internet protocols and services into the future. -
Computational Color Constancy with Spatial Correlations
(2010)The color of a scene recorded by a trichromatic sensor varies with the spectral distribution of the illuminant. For recognition and many other applications, we seek to process these measurements to obtain a color representation ... -
Computational Complexity

Computational complexity in electronic structure
(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2013)In quantum chemistry, the price paid by all known efficient model chemistries is either the truncation of the Hilbert space or uncontrolled approximations. Theoretical computer science suggests that these restrictions are ... -
The Computational Complexity of Cartographic Label Placement
(1991)We examine the computational complexity of cartographic label placement, a problem derived from the cartographer's task of placing text labels adjacent to map features in such a way as to minimize overlaps with other labels ... -
Computational complexity of ecological and evolutionary spatial dynamics
(National Academy of Sciences, 2015)There are deep, yet largely unexplored, connections between computer science and biology. Both disciplines examine how information proliferates in time and space. Central results in computer science describe the complexity ... -
The Computational Complexity of Nash Equilibria in Concisely Represented Games
(Association for Computing Machinery (ACM), 2012)Games may be represented in many different ways, and different representations of games affect the complexity of problems associated with games, such as finding a Nash equilibrium. The traditional method of representing a ... -
Computational Complexity of the Landscape I
(Elsevier, 2007)We study the computational complexity of the physical problem of finding vacua of string theory which agree with data, such as the cosmological constant, and show that such problems are typically NP hard. In particular, ... -
Computational Complexity of Time-Dependent Density Functional Theory
(IOP Publishing, 2014)Time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) is rapidly emerging as a premier method for solving dynamical many-body problems in physics and chemistry. The mathematical foundations of TDDFT are established through the ... -
Computational design of molecules for an all-quinone redox flow battery
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2015)Inspired by the electron transfer properties of quinones in biological systems, we recently showed that quinones are also very promising electroactive materials for stationary energy storage applications. Due to the ... -
Computational Empathy
(2021-06-04)In our current environment, computers behave in ways that are unexpectedly different from humans. However, the term “empathy” is defined in relation to human behavior, not computer behavior. Thus, until the general public ... -
Computational Environment Design
(2012-10-26)The Internet has evolved into a platform on which large numbers of individuals take action and join in collaborations via crowdsourcing, social media, and electronic commerce. When designing social and economic systems on ... -
Computational Epidemiology: Methods and Applications for Global Health
(2021-07-12)In this dissertation I discuss the development and application of simulation-based approaches to major challenges in global health. I refer to this general methodological approach as “computational epidemiology”, which I ... -
Computational Harmonic Analysis and Prediction in the Bach Chorales
(2016-06-21)During his lifetime, the Baroque composer J.S. Bach harmonized more than 300 chorale melodies, which collectively have become a pivotal body of music in Western music history and exemplify the composer’s groundbreaking ... -
Computational Mechanism Design
(Institute of Mathematical Sciences, University of Singapore, 2008)Computational mechanism design brings together the concern in microeconomics with decision making in the context of distributed private information and self-interest and the concern in computer science with computational ... -
Computational Methods for the Analysis of Single-Cell Transcriptomic Data and Their Applications to Cancer
(2018-08-17)Single-cell sequencing methods have allowed for a closer view into the heterogeneity of cell populations, down to the level of the individual cell. In particular, single-cell transcriptomic data provides a detailed map ... -
A Computational Model of Music Composition
(2015-05-17)This thesis documents my research into formalized score control, in order to demonstrate a computational model of music composition. When working computationally, models provide an explicit formal description of what objects ... -
Computational Modeling and Design of Soft-Robotic Pneumatic Fingers for Functionality and Durability
(2022-07-19)Soft robotic actuators, such as pneumatic bending bellow actuators, have shown promise as grippers for robust, adaptive, gentle grasping. The effects of select geometric parameters on bellow actuator pressure-curvature ... -
Computational modeling of oscillating fins that “catch and release” targeted nanoparticles in bilayer flows
(Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC), 2016)A number of physiological processes in living organisms involve the selective ‘‘catch and release’’ of biomolecules. Inspired by these biological processes, we use computational modeling to design synthetic systems that ... -
Computational Modeling of the Baryon Content of Galaxies and Clusters in Cosmological Simulations
(2021-07-12)Cosmological simulations aim to self-consistently model the physics that shapes the distribution of baryons in our Universe. Galaxy mergers and feedback from supermassive black holes are some of the most violent physical ...
