Logarithmic Gromov-Witten theory and double ramification cycles
This thesis contains two research papers, whose main topics concern the logarithmic enumerative geometry of toric varieties and its interactions with the moduli space of curves. In the first paper (joint work with Dhruv Ranganathan), we prove that the logarithmic Gromov-Witten cycles of a toric …

Messy Measurement: Approaches to Causal Inference With Unobserved Variables
… an essential variable is unobserved. The first paper provides new methods for causal inference with bundled variables. A bundled variable is one that, rather than being observed directly, is instead represented as a collection of proxies present in the dataset. The only existent approach to …

Three Essays on Testing for Cross-Sectional Dependence and Specification in Large Panel Data Models
… models. The first two essays are based on the papers joint with Prof. Badi H. Baltagi and Prof. Chihwa Kao; the third essay is based on the working paper joint with Prof. Lee. The first essay considers testing for Sphericity with non-normality in a fixed effects panel data model. The second …

Achieving Complex Motion with Fundamental Components for Lamina Emergent Mechanisms
… which can be used for designing LEMs. Pop-up paper mechanisms use topologies similar to LEMs, so it is advantageous to study their kinematics. This thesis outlines the use of planar and spherical kinematics to model commonly used pop-up paper mechanisms. A survey of common joint types is …
