An Information-Theoretic Analysis of X-Ray Architectures for Anomaly Detection
(2018)X-ray scanning equipment currently establishes a first line of defense in the aviation security space. The efficacy of these scanners is crucial to preventing the harmful use of threatening objects and materials. In this ... -
Caging and Transport in Simple Disordered Systems
(2021)Recent advances on the glass problem motivate reexamining classical models of caging and transport. In particular, seemingly incompatible percolation and mean-field caging descriptions on the localization transition call ... -
Characterization and Mechanism of Rigidity in Columns of Star-shaped Granular Particles
(2020)An important challenge in the science of granular materials is to understand the connection between the shapes of individual grains and the macroscopic response of the aggregate. Granular packings of concave or elongated ... -
Numerical Transfer Matrix Method of Next-nearest-neighbor Ising Models
(2021)In statistical physics, the exact partition function of simple (quasi)-one-dimensional models can be obtained from the numerical transfer matrix (TM) method. This method involves solving for the leading eigenvalues of a ... -
Stochastic and Agent-based Modeling of Gene Expression and Cell Fate Decisions
(2021)As new experimental techniques expand our capacity to understand the internal states of single cells and to track the behavior of individual enzymes, classical modeling techniques for deterministic chemical kinetics break ... -
Understanding the Structure and Formation of Protein Crystals Using Computer Simulation and Theory
(2019)The complexity of protein-protein interactions enables proteins to self-assemble into a rich array of structures, such as virus capsids, amyloid fibers, amorphous aggregates, and protein crystals. While some of these assemblies ...
