A Free-Boundary Successive Over-Relaxation Grad-Shafranov Equation Solver, Alec J. Damsell
Honors Theses and Capstones
Fusion has long been considered the “Holy Grail” of renewable energy, but has not yet seen viability as a commercial power source. With tokamaks like SPARC, NSTX-U, and ITER coming online over the next ten years, there is growing investment in fusion technology by both the public and private sector. If these tokamaks reach or exceed their scientific aims, further investment in fusion and new tokamak designs are expected. The first step in designing a tokamak is choosing a good plasma equilibrium, which is described by the Grad-Shafranov equation. This work presents a successive over-relaxation routine to solve the Grad-Shafranov …

Defensive Impact Wins: Developing A New Method To Rate Individual Defense In Nba Games, Dylan J. Stiles
Honors Theses and Capstones
With the analytics revolution in sports in the past 20 years, it seems that everything that can be quantified is. In basketball though, trying to break the game down into a set of numbers comes with a unique problem. While we've come up with a good set of advanced numbers to measure offensive efficiency, defense is fundamentally harder to quantify. The game is played five on five, but it has often been popular or convenient to model defense as a set of five one on one games. As defenses became more complex into the 2010s, this methodology became more insignificant. …
Investigation Of Charge Density Waves And Layer Stacking In Niobium Ditelluride, Gavin J. Smith
Investigation Of Charge Density Waves And Layer Stacking In Niobium Ditelluride, Gavin J. Smith
Honors Theses and Capstones
NbTe2 is a layered transition metal dichalcogenide which exhibits charge density waves (CDWs) and superconductivity in the bulk. Previous scanning tunneling microscopy and spectroscopy experiments suggested that Fermi-surface nesting and reciprocal lattice reconstruction are important in the formation of CDWs in NbTe2. These experiments focused on spectroscopy of pristine regions. We will present low temperature scanning tunneling spectroscopy experiments examining the 3x1 CDW in NbTe2 at 10K. We found a crystalline step and multiple neighboring 60º and 120º CDW domain boundaries. We examined the electronic structure across these domain boundaries and in neighboring domains using scanning …

Artificial Intelligence In Stock Analysis And Portfolio Building, Sean M. Lynch
Honors Theses and Capstones
The emergence of artificial intelligence (AI) investment analysts, often referred to as “robo-advisors”, has the potential to change traditional portfolio management. These systems access vast amounts of data and make portfolio management decisions and stock market predictions. In this study, I compared AI-generated portfolios with portfolios that were created manually. Surprisingly, the human-generated portfolios outperformed the AI portfolios. However, the prompt used in the AI application affects these results. The subset of AI portfolios that were created with specific objectives specified in the prompts outperformed those that were created with more generic prompts. Overall, this research sheds light on the …
Non-Invasive Monitoring Device For Early Detection Of Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema, Amy Prendergast
Non-Invasive Monitoring Device For Early Detection Of Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema, Amy Prendergast
Honors Theses and Capstones
Breast Cancer Related Lymphedema (BCRL) is a common co-morbidity in cancer survivors following neoadjuvant therapies such as chemotherapy, radiation, and/or surgery. It is brought about by the disruption in the lymphatic system (think lymph node biopsy) that leads to a buildup of lymphatic fluid in the arm. Current diagnostic strategies for this condition are merely retroactive, and fairly limited in the parameters that are examined to ensure patient well-being long term. We hypothesize that with an approach that mimics bioimpedance spectroscopy analysis, we will be able to provide a clinical support tool that would better determine early stages of lymphedema …
