Biomolecular Condensates Through a Computational Microscope Design, Mechanisms and Implications
… to accurately predict, understand, and design biomolecular behaviour. My research, grounded in bottom-up computational approaches, provides a framework for the rational design of biomolecular condensates with tailored properties, offering new insights into the mechanisms of cellular …

Financing the "Valley of Death" : an evaluation of incentive schemes for global health businesses
… neglected disease therapeutics, several market design mechanisms have been developed including Advanced Market Commitments (AMCs) and Priority Review Vouchers (PRVs). These market design mechanisms are new and unproven.

Preemie Care: A Co-designed Digital Tool to Improve Communication Between Health Personnel and Parents of Preterm Infants
… technical and literacy capabilities. These design gaps arise because parents were not fully included in the design process of the existing NICU digital interventions. In this research, we sought to address the communication gaps within the NICU environment by employing a co-design approach …

Efficiency loss in market mechanisms for resource allocation
… one hand, constraints are imposed on the system designer by the inherent architecture of any large scale system. These constraints are counterbalanced by the need to design mechanisms that efficiently allocate resources, even when the system is being used by participants who have only their own …

SUDS : automatic parallelization for raw processors
… work load the computer architect's role is to design mechanisms to find and exploit the available concurrency in that work load. This thesis describes SUDS (Software Un-Do System), a compiler and runtime system that can automatically find and exploit the available concurrency of scalar …

Differentially private data publishing for data analysis
… A key technological challenge is how to design mechanisms for effectively extracting knowledge from data while preserving the privacy of the individuals involved. In this dissertation, we address this challenge from the perspective of differentially private data publishing. Firstly, we …

Reasoning by Analogy in a Multi-Level System Architecture for the Design of Mechanisms
… to integrate AI technology and engineering design nearly two decades ago, few expert systems have been shown to demonstrate sufficient reasoning capabilities to solve real-world design problems. The complex nature of design, the lack of understanding of the design process, and the …

Exploration of user involvement and collaboration in a co-design project : a case study
Introduction Collaborative design (co-design) is an approach that includes ‘users’ in the design process. This approach is growing in popularity amongst companies seeking to develop a competitive advantage in the field of outdoor clothing and equipment. Health research is steadily developing a …

In search of significance
… and significance are achieved in landscape design through the use of landscape narrative. The author argues that meaning neither resides in the landscape itself nor with the creator but with the mediation between user, the landscape and its elements. The design intervention celebrates the …

Meeting the Self and the Other: Intercultural Learning During a Faculty-led Short-term Service-Learning Course to Belize
… a challenge and an opportunity for educators to design mechanisms to increase the global awareness and intercultural development of their student participants. The challenge is to create intentional learning experiences that avoid the pitfalls of perpetuating stereotypes and reproducing …

Plastic optical fibre couplers with wavelength division multiplexing capability for short-range peer-to-peer communication in networking and industrial applications
This thesis presents a study on the design and simulation of adjustable, multi-output plastic optical fibre (POF) array couplers for wavelength-division multiplexed (WDM) transmission in the visible spectrum. The research focuses on three configurations—1×2, 1×4, and 1×8—and introduces a novel …

Design and analysis of a three degrees of freedom (DOF) parallel manipulator with decoupled motions
… so obvious. In addition, it is very difficult to design mechanisms with complete decoupling, but it is possible for fewer DOF parallel manipulators. To realize kinematic decoupling, the parallel manipulators are needed to possess special structures; therefore, investigating a parallel manipulator …
