As autonomous vehicles continue to grow in popularity, it is imperative for engineers to gain greater understanding of vehicle modeling and controls under different situations. Most research has been conducted on on-road ...
Mechano-Electrochemical Interactions and Stochastics in Intercalation Electrodes
(2015-12-08)
Lithium ion battery (LIB) is replacing all the other battery chemistries from the portable electronic and automotive market due to its superior energy and power density. During operation, transport of lithium atoms within ...
Using Social Network Analysis to Better Understand Compulsive Exercise Behaviors among College Women
(2016-01-11)
Compulsive exercise, or the drive to exercise despite physical, social, or emotional consequences, is a common precursor and symptom of eating disorders. College-aged women are at high risk of developing disordered behaviors ...
Two Essays on Empirical Finance
(2019-05-21)
The dissertation consists of two chapters. The first chapter studies the effect of ownership by long-term passive institutions on CEO compensation duration. I exploit the exogenous variation in passive ownership associated ...
Channel Estimation to Improve the Scalability of Power Leakage based Side-Channel Attacks on Cryptographic Systems
(2020-04-16)
Side channel attacks exploit physical information that leaks from a cryptographic device in order to extract secret information, such as secret keys, passwords, or instructions that may be stored inside the device. The ...
