Growing concerns related to the environmental impacts of rising global energy consumption compel the continued development of low-emission technologies for the building s[...]

Vesicular stomatitis virus (VSV) based oncolytic viruses are promising agents against various cancers. We have shown that pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) cell lin[...]

This research pioneers formal combined plant and controller optimization (termed ``co-design") schemes for complex systems where accurate but expensive experiments are fu[...]

This research establishes a novel combined plant and controller optimization (termed co-design) framework, aimed at complex systems, that speeds up the optimization proce[...]

In this dissertation, I use an extension of status characteristics theory--the theory of double standards--to investigate whether and to what extent race activates the us[...]

Hybrid simulation is an increasingly popular experimental method for structural dynamics research, as it offers the realism and exploratory power of full-scale testing at[...]
