Simulating Authentic User Personas To Generate Analytics For Evaluating Digital Products, Oded Elyada, Oriana Riva, Avia Aharon, Ido Hakimi, Ron Ziv, Danny Karmon

Defensive Publications Series

It is challenging to acquire user data from a diverse set of adequate numbers of suitable real end users for design, evaluation, and improvement of a product. Involving real users in evaluation requires a sufficient level of product maturity. It is difficult to bootstrap and test personalization because it requires personal data. This disclosure describes techniques to overcome these limitations by generating synthetic data that mimics authentic digital and social user practices via simulated personas with local memory. The simulation utilizes the semantic understanding and reasoning capabilities of LLMs and includes interaction between the personas and various digital applications and …

3d Bioactive Thiol-Norbornene Hydrogels For Guiding Stem Cell Mechanosensing And Differentiation, Arielle Gsell

U-RISE Undergraduate Theses

Hydrogels are soft, highly hydrated polymeric networks commonly used as biomaterial scaffolds in tissue engineering. To mimic the extracellular matrix of tissues, hydrogels can be chemically modified to incorporate either bioactive molecules such as peptides, or physically modified with crosslinkers to alter hydrogel stiffness and degradation. Hydrogels with defined characteristics can be synthesized using chemical reaction schemes such as photo-click chemistry, which offers spatial and temporal control over biochemical and physical properties. The goal of this thesis is to leverage thiol-norbornene click chemistry, a subtype of photo-click chemistry, to develop 3D hydrogels with biochemical and biophysical cues that guide mesenchymal …
