Despite considerable advancements in recent years, legged robots still fall short in terms of agility when compared to their animal counterparts. This thesis takes a two pronged approach to creating more agile behaviors by pursuing the intuition that agile legged machines should use much of their available power during agile behaviors. The first approach leverages […] |

This thesis explores advancements in three distinct domains: communications, privacy, and machine learning. Within the realm of communication, a comprehensive study is conducted on channel coding at low capacity, a critical aspect of Internet of Things (IoT) technology requiring reliable transmission over channels with minimal capacity. Despite existing finite-length analyses yielding inaccurate predictions and current […] |

Structural design optimization has long played a crucial role in engineering, often with the goal of creating stiff and lightweight structures for aerospace and other applications. However, optimizing structures against failure is also crucial and has been less explored. Failure at interfaces is particularly challenging in design optimization as they involve high local stress concentrations […] |

Abstract: Modeling thrombus growth in pathological flows allows evaluation of risk under patient-specific pharmacological, hematological, and hemodynamical conditions. To this end, we have developed a 3D multiscale framework for the prediction of thrombus growth under flow on a spatially resolved surface presenting collagen and tissue factor (TF). The multiscale framework is composed of four coupled […] |

Abstract: Understanding and controlling polymer-solid interactions is critical for optimizing the catalytic processes involved in polymer upcycling. In this Ph.D. thesis, I explored the intricacies of polymer behavior in nanoporous materials by monitoring the capillary infiltration dynamics of polystyrene (PS) and polyethylene (PE) into random packings of silica nanoparticles. To test the effect of surface […] |
