Dissertations, Theses, and Capstone Projects
Climate change is a subject that is creating a lot of controversies nowadays. From newspapers to researchers, there are big efforts going on trying to bring awareness about the effects of air pollution and climate change over time. It is recommended that governments all over the world, and people from all communities act by taking care of the environment because the situation might turn out to be irremediable. There is a quote by Leonardo Dicaprio stating, “Climate change is real. It is happening right now; it is the most urgent threat facing our entire species and we need to …

Dissertations and Theses
Street flooding is problematic in urban areas, where impervious surfaces, such as concrete, brick, and asphalt prevail, impeding the infiltration of water into the ground. During rain events, water ponds and rise to levels that cause considerable economic damage and physical harm. The main goal of this dissertation is to develop novel approaches toward the comprehension of urban flood risk using data science techniques on crowd-sourced data. This is accomplished by developing a series of data-driven models to identify flood factors of significance and localized areas of flood vulnerability in New York City (NYC). First, the infrastructural (catch basin clogs, …

The spaces we live in go through many transformations over the course of a year, a month, or a day; My room has seen tremendous clutter and pristine order within the span of a few hours. My goal is to discover patterns within my space and formulate an understanding of the changes that occur. This insight will provide actionable direction for maintaining a cleaner environment, as well as provide some information about the optimal times for productivity and energy preservation.
Using a Raspberry Pi, I will set up automated image capture in a room in my home. These images will …

Data Science is used as a tool to find hidden facts in the data. We want to find out what factors such as ‘AGE’, ‘TAX’, ‘PUPIL-TEACHER RATIO’, ‘PER-CAPITA INCOME’ contribute the most to housing prices. To answer this question, we studied the dataset of “Boston Houses Prices”. By applying the Lasso Regression (a Data Mining Technique) on the data set of “Boston Houses Prices” we identified the influential factors in the linear model. As a conclusion we found that there were six inputs which contributed the most to the prices of houses and those inputs are as follow: (i) CRIM-per …
