Expanding the Spiroligomers Toolbox as Protein-Protein Interaction Inhibitors
… of an acyl-transfer coupling reaction by Dr. Zachary Brown, a previous graduate student of Schafmeister group, the synthesis of highly functionalized spiroligomers that mimic the helical domain of p53 was undertaken before each molecule was tested for binding to HDM2, a natural binding partner …

Fiscal stimulus through state and local governments
… (co-authored with Gabriel Chodorow- Reich, Zachary Liscow, and William Woolston) estimates the fiscal multiplier associated with federal transfers to state governments in the recent recession.

Modeling the Effect of Particle Diameter and Density on Dispersion in an Axisymmetric Turbulent Jet
… on an experimental set-up created by Lieutenant Zachary Robertson, which consists of a particle injection system designed to load particles into a fully developed pipe [1]. This pipe flow then exits into an otherwise quiescent environment (created within a wind tunnel), creating an axisymmetric …

Small molecule motion within and through organic nanomaterials: an anthology
… 4 (completed under the supervision of Prof. Zachary Smith) explores molecular transport of CO₂ gas mixtures through a novel guanidinium-functionalized polymer of intrinsic microporosity (PIM-G) membrane. PIM-G shows high permselectivity towards CO₂ over CH₄, N₂, and O₂, and selectivity was …

‘Shouting Out Loud’: Reading the development of queer lesbian feminisms in 1990s Britain through the <i>Lesbians Talk Issues </i>pamphlet series
… Tracey Chandler,<i> Transgender</i> (1996) by Zachary I. Nataf and <i>Detonating the Nuclear Family</i> (1996) by Julia Brosnan. This thesis approaches the pamphlets as examples of feminist autoethnography as defined by Elizabeth Ettore, examining the testimonies about lesbian lives, feminist …

My Education
… interests, beginning with Adam and ending with Zachary. The twenty-six lineated poems are followed by a prose addendum entitled "Roll Call," in which the speaker tries to list every boy she ever met and explain what has become of him since she knew him. Many of the names from “Boy Friends” recur …

Structures, processes, and clustering of complex networks
… through application to several networks: the Zachary Karate Club, where by this method a 3-clustering could be found that has a higher-modularity than the clusterings reported in the literature; a set of 96 tumors that are clustered by their gene-similarity; and clustered topics of 27000 …

Essays in Monetary Policy and Growth
… The third chapter (joint with Trevor Chow and J. Zachary Mazlish) studies how asset prices can be used to forecast the pace of development of AI technology. We study the implications of transformative artificial intelligence for asset prices, and in particular, how financial market prices can be …

Portrait of the Calvinist as a young killer : confessions, fanaticism, and satanic horror in Hogg's Justified Sinner
James Hogg's Private Memoirs and Confessions of a Justified Sinner innovated several important novel genres in the Romantic literary era. The novel centers around a young man, Robert Wringhim, who, along with his devilish double, Gil-Martin, goes on a religious-based killing spree in late 17th …

3D tracking via body radio reflections
This thesis presents WiTrack, a system that tracks the 3D motion of a user from the radio signals reflected off her body. It works even if the person is occluded from the WiTrack device or in a different room. WiTrack does not require the user to carry any wireless device, yet its accuracy exceeds …

In-home passive monitoring for medical applications
Recent years have witnessed a surge of in-home monitoring and sensing systems. They promise to change healthcare as we know it by continuously monitoring patients at home. Yet, despite all of the interest and effort that has gone into designing these systems, their capabilities are rudimentary and …

Mathematical methods for non-intrusive load monitoring
The calculation of the Discrete Fourier Transform (DFT) of a discrete time signal is a fundamental problem in discrete-time signal processing. This thesis presents algorithms that use methods from number theory and algebra to exploit additional constraints about a signal to aid in the calculation …

State by State : automated alignment and analysis of state statutes
In this work, we explore text alignment with the context of the legal domain and outline several new tasks designed to make comparison and analysis of inhomogenous state statute hierarchies easier. We explore the unique features of the statute hierarchy dataset, apply several baseline text …

Photon isolation and jet substructure
We introduce soft drop isolation, a new photon isolation criterion inspired by jet substructure techniques. Soft drop isolation is collinear-safe and is equivalent to Frixione isolation at leading order in the small R limit. However, soft drop isolation has the interesting feature of being …

Three dimensional visualization through use of HoloLens
For my Thesis I will be using Microsoft's HoloLens in order to create 3D volumes of MRI data in the form of holograms. The MRI data is taken from heart scans. The goal of this project is to create high resolution images using late gadolinium enhancement (LGE) of myocardial scar. These images would …

Shuttling of ions for characterization of a microfabricated ion trap
In this thesis, I present experimental results demonstrating the characterization of a planar Paul trap. I discuss the theory of ion trapping and analyze the voltages required for shuttling. Next, the characteristics of a digital-to-analog converter (DAC) are calibrated, and this instrument is …

Algebraic methods in pseudorandomness and circuit complexity
In this thesis, we apply tools from algebra and algebraic geometry to prove new results concerning extractors for algebraic sets, AC⁰-pseudorandomness, the recursive Fourier sampling problem, and VC dimension. We present a new construction of an extractor which works for algebraic sets defined by …
