Social perspective of mobility sharing : understanding, utilizing, and shaping preference
… mobility as a tool to foster and strengthen human interactions. In this dissertation, I used preference as a lens to investigate the social interaction in mobility sharing, including how the interpersonal preference in mobility sharing can be understood, utilized and reshaped.

On The Right Path
… and another. In a contemporary society based on human interactions, should the conduit for delivering human-to-human connections be confined simply to notions of “horizontal circulation” and “vertical circulation”? Do we deserve better? This thesis proposes that a measure of continuity can unify …

Governing the shark : predators and people in the twentieth century and beyond
This dissertation examines the history of shark-human interactions in the twentieth and twenty-first centuries. It argues that the mid-twentieth century onward saw a series of conjunctures -technological, cultural, and scientific -that thrust sharks and humans into unprecedented levels of contact. …

Physics-, social-, and capability- based reasoning for robotic manipulation
Robots that can function in human-centric domains have the potential to help humans with the chores of everyday life. Moreover, dexterous robots with the ability to reason about the maneuvers they execute for manipulation tasks can function more autonomously and intelligently. This thesis outlines …
