Application of Uncertainty Quantification in Control and Sensitivity Analysis: A Case Study on Type 1 Diabetes
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Characterizing the uncertainty in mathematical models is an integral part of robust control and optimization: since a proper knowledge of the output uncertainties allow one to make better decisions. In this dissertation, ...
Towards Net-Zero Energy Building Clusters_Designing Operational Strategies For Optimal Energy Management
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
Traditionally viewed as mere energy consumers, buildings have in recent years evolved, capitalizing on distributed energy resources and smart grid technologies to efficiently use and generate energy. This has led to the ...
USING AN INTELLIGENT UAV SWARM IN NATURAL DISASTER ENVIRONMENTS
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Due to their volatile behavior, natural disasters are challenging problems that often cannot be accurately predicted. An efficient method to gather updated information of the status of a disaster, such as the location of ...
Classification of Motor Control Features for Surgical Skills Assessment during Robotic Assisted Surgery
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
With the advent of new technologies in Surgery, Robotic Assisted Surgery (RAS) has been the point of research. Surgical Skill Assessment in RAS has increased interest through which the training and feedback to surgeons can ...
Intelligent Material Informatics Applications in Design and Manufacturing
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
Material plays a key role in the product realization process. The shape of the product, material allocation, and its fabrication processes must be simultaneously considered in a concurrent manner for enabling quality product ...
Experimental investigation of triboelectric charge on particles in helical gas/solids pipe flow systems
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
In gas/solids pipe flow systems, particles often get triboelectrically charged during their transport, due to frequent collisions with the pipe wall. Helical shaped pipes, due to their mixing effect owing to the curvature ...
Neuroevolution in Control of Intelligent Systems: Benchmark Testing, Simulated and Physical Demonstrations
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
A majority of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) implementations in autonomous systems use a fixed/user-prescribed network topology, leading to sub-optimal performance and low portability. The existing neuro-evolution of ...
Investigating Virtual Environment and Optimal Behavior of Swarm Robots
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2018)
This research encapsulated an innovative approach of implementing A.I based behavior trees in the research of swarm robotics. This work covers the manual development of Behavior Trees and their evolution. Behavior Trees ...
Design and Control of a Wind Turbine Blade with an Actively Variable Twist Angle Distribution
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
The topic of this work is the design and control of a wind turbine blade with active-variable twist angle. In this approach the twist angle distribution (TAD) is controlled in relation to wind speed. This capability can ...
Predicting Long-term Outcome of Intracranial Aneurysms Treated with Flow Diverters using CFD and Machine Learning
(State University of New York at Buffalo, 2019)
An intracranial aneurysm (IA) is a weakened bulging area in the arteries in the circle of Willis, caused due to their destructive remodeling of the blood vessel. About 1 in 50 Americans harbors an IA, but most aneurysms ...
