Multi-Agent Systems with Reciprocal Interaction Laws
(2014-06-06)
In this thesis, we investigate a special class of multi-agent systems, which we call reciprocal multi-agent (RMA) systems. The evolution of agents in a RMA system is governed by interactions between pairs of agents. Each ...
Scalable NMR Spectroscopy with Semiconductor Chips
(2014-06-06)
Conventional nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectrometers—the electronic brain that orchestrates and monitors nuclear spin motions—are bulky, expensive, thus, not scalable. In this thesis, we report on scalable ...
Studies in discrete and continuum mechanics
(2014-06-06)
We have used a combination of theory and computation to investigate collective aspects of discrete mechanical systems. The analysis involves considerations from geometry, elasticity and hydrodynamics. We have developed ...
Computations and Algorithms in Physical and Biological Problems
(2014-06-06)
This dissertation presents the applications of state-of-the-art computation techniques and data analysis algorithms in three physical and biological problems: assembling DNA pieces, optimizing self-assembly yield, and ...
