1. Improvements for IceCube Event Reconstruction through Geometry Calibration and Photon Timing Distributions
Abstract : The origin of high-energy cosmic rays is an unsolved mystery because cosmic rays do not travel in a straight line but are bent by magnetic fields due to their electric charge. High energy neutrinos are predicted to be created close to these origins, and are an unambiguous probe, while gamma rays could be obscured or created by other processes. READ MORE

2. Route Optimized Energy Management of Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicles
Abstract : Plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have the potential to significantly reducethe oil dependence within the transportation sector. However, there willalways be some trips that exceed the electric driving range, meaning thatboth electric energy and fuel must be used. READ MORE

3. Numerical analysis for random processes and fields and related design problems
Abstract : In this thesis, we study numerical analysis for random processes and fields. We investigate the behavior of the approximation accuracy for specific linear methods based on a finite number of observations. Furthermore, we propose techniques for optimizing performance of the methods for particular classes of random functions. READ MORE

4. Computer Aided Angioplasty : Patient-specific arterial modeling and smooth 3D contact analysis of the stent-balloon-artery interaction
Abstract : Paper A: In this paper, the development and implementation of a contact algorithm based on C2-continuous surface representations is discussed. In 3D contact simulations involving models with arbitrarily curved surfaces (as in the case of vessel walls), the discretization of the contact surfaces by means of facet-based techniques could lead to numerical instabilities and finally loss of quadratic convergence.

5. Path-planning with obstacle-avoiding minimum curvature variation B-splines
Abstract : We study the general problem of computing an obstacle-avoiding path that, for a prescribed weight, minimizes the weighted sum of a smoothness measure and a safety measure of the path. We consider planar curvature-continuous paths, that are functions on an interval of a room axis, for a point-size vehicle amidst obstacles. READ MORE
