Decentralized infrastructure for file storage
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
How might we incentivize a peer-to-peer network to store users' files? The purpose of this research is to combine ideas from existing peer-to-peer file sharing systems, blockchain technology and Proofs-of-Storage to create ...
Scalable design of high-performance on-chip Terahertz source and imager
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
In this thesis, two chip designs using the scalable array architecture are introduced. Firstly, we introduce a scalable architecture of coherent harmonic oscillator array for high-power and collimated radiation beam at ...
Prediction of velocity distribution from the statistics of pore structure in 3D porous media via high-fidelity pore-scale simulation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Fluid flow and particle transport through porous media are determined by the geometry of the host medium itself. Despite the fundamental importance of the velocity distribution in controlling early-time and late-time ...
Estimation of clinical trial success rates and related parameters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Previous estimates of drug development success rates rely on relatively small samples of pharmaceutical industry-curated databases, which are subject to potential sample selection biases. Using a sample of 185,994 unique ...
Design and fabrication of granular materials for surface acoustic waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)
Granular materials with structural discreteness and periodicity can lead to novel propagation behaviors of mechanical waves. Acoustic studies of granular media typically involve macroscopic particles whereas contact-based ...
