Microorganisms, although challenging to observe, are ubiquitous in both natural ecosystems and industries. They inhabit diverse environments: natural ones ranging from small river tributaries and lakes to oceans, as well as in industrial settings, like wastewater treatment plants and food manufacturing. In these diverse contexts, microorganisms coexist with settling particles, a process heavily influenced by […]

Development of a newly fertilized embryo is a dynamic, complex, and highly coordinated process that requires precise genetic regulation and control. As the embryo develops, DNA regulatory elements known as enhancers drive gene expression patterns in specific regions of an organism at a particular time. Mis-regulation of gene expression due to mutations in enhancers can […] |

This thesis addresses the challenges of model-based planning and control in legged locomotion, particularly the trade-off between computational speed and robot performance presented by different levels of model complexities. Full-order models, while rich in detail, are often too computationally demanding for real time planning, whereas conventional reduced-order models (ROMs) tend to oversimplify the dynamics, limiting […] |

For many important tasks such as manipulation and locomotion, robots need to make and break contact with their environment. Although such multi-contact systems are common, they pose a significant challenge when it comes to analysis and control. This thesis exploits the local hybrid structure of such problems and presents scalable and fast algorithmic solutions. First, […] |

Loading of biological and synthetic hydrogels involves large deformations, and there exists a large literature devoted to their experimental characterization. Analytical investigations have recognized the importance of contributions originating from the liquid phase, and experiments have verified them. The liquid flux fields in these materials usually exhibit fully three-dimensional profiles and are time-dependent. This coupled […] |
