The Bird's Ear View: Audification for the Spectral Analysis of Heliospheric Time Series Data.
(2015)
The sciences are inundated with a tremendous volume of data, and the analysis of rapidly expanding data archives presents a persistent challenge. Previous research in the field of data sonification suggests that auditory ...
Selected Problems for High-Dimensional Data - Quantile and Errors-in-Variables Regressions.
(2016)
This dissertation addresses two problems. First, we study joint quantile regression at multiple quantile levels with high dimensional covariates. Variable selection performed at individual quantile levels may lack stability ...
Programmatic Design Methods in Architecture (GA+TRIZ Solution Search Method)
(2019)
When an architectural design problem is stated, it may take several iterations to evaluate the design alternatives, modify the problem statement and the corresponding solutions and make the final decision. The recursive ...
Influence of Uncertainty in User Behaviors on the Simulation-Based Building Energy Optimization Process and Robust Decision-Making
(2016)
Computer-based simulations have been widely used to predict building performances. Building energy simulation tools are generally used to perform parametric studies. However, the building is a complex system with a great ...
Design for Behavior Change: The Role of Product Visual Aesthetics in Promoting Sustainable Behavior.
(2013)
This dissertation tested the hypothesis that products can be designed in a principled way to induce users to modify their behavior; in particular, it explored how products make people be more environmentally responsible. ...
Towards Environmental Profiling for Office Buildings Using Life Cycle Assessment (LCA).
(2011)
The purpose of this study is to quantify and compare the potential environmental impacts caused by office buildings throughout their entire life cycle, from extraction of raw materials to disposal of waste. The study also ...
