Incorporating Machine Learning With Satellite Data To Support Critical Infrastructure Measurement And Sustainable Development, Aggrey Muhebwa Mar 2024

Incorporating Machine Learning With Satellite Data To Support Critical Infrastructure Measurement And Sustainable Development, Aggrey Muhebwa

Doctoral Dissertations

Under the umbrella concept of Artificial Intelligence (AI) for good, recent advances in machine learning and large-scale data analysis have opened new opportunities to solve humanity’s most pressing challenges. Improvements in computation complexity and advances in AI (e.g., Vision Transformers) have led to faster and more effective techniques for extracting high-dimensional patterns from large-scale heterogeneous datasets (big data). Further, as satellite data become increasingly available at varying temporal-spatial resolutions, AI tools are helping us to better understand the underlying causes of environmental and socioeconomic changes at an unprecedented scale, ushering in an era of data-driven decision-making to support sustainable and …


Materials Engineering, Switching Mechanism And Novel Applications Of Memristive Devices, Hao Jiang Mar 2018

Materials Engineering, Switching Mechanism And Novel Applications Of Memristive Devices, Hao Jiang

Doctoral Dissertations

Memristive devices have attracted tremendous interests because of their highly desirable properties such as a simple structure, low switching voltage, fast switching speed, excellent scalability, multiple conductance states and great compatibility with the Complementary Metal–Oxide–Semiconductor technology. Hence, they stand out as promising candidates for next-generation non-volatile memory and electronic synapses in artificial neural network. This thesis reports systematic studies of the memristive switching phenomena in oxide based material systems, in aspects of materials engineering, switching mechanism and novel applications. We demonstrated efficient ways of engineering device performances such as metal doping and further presented a highly reliable hafnium oxide based …
