The need to arrest ongoing or planned actions is a hallmark of adaptive control that is crucial for goal-directed behaviors and survival. When the brain …
This dissertation shows that qualitative and quantitative characterization of patterned structures in brain connectivity data obtained using diffusion MRI not only improves the exploration of …
Dissipative Particle Dynamics (DPD) is a mesoscopic simulation method, potentially very effective in simulating mesoscale hydrodynamics and soft matter. This thesis addresses open theoretical and …
Over a decade, it is known that nanopore sequencing of DNA or RNA requires substantial reduction of entropic noise in the nanopore reading process. Recently, …
This dissertation is composed around the subject of multiscale modeling of soft matter and biophysical systems with applications using large-scale computations. Specifically, it is expanded …
The application of high specific-capacity Li anode for all-solid-state batteries with good cycling stability is hindered by the Li dendrite growth during plating and interface …
Metallic alloys including high strength steels, refractory alloys, metallic glasses, and high entropy alloys have attracted great research interests in the past decade due to …
