Opacity and its Trade-offs with Security in Linear Dynamical Systems
Opacity is notion of privacy that is well-studied in computer science and discrete-event systems. In our work, we extend the opacity notion to linear dynamical systems. Opacity describes an eavesdropper’s inability to ... -
Efficient Constructions of Streaming Codes
Streaming codes are a class of erasure codes that operate on a stream of packets and enable recovery of dropped or erased packets under a decoding-delay constraint. The primary focus of this thesis is on providing constructions ... -
Coding Schemes for Secure and Reliable DNA-Based Data Storage
In DNA-based data storage, the desired information is encoded into the quaternary sequence of synthetic DNA molecules, called oligos. We look at secure communication via information-containing oligos in the usual three-party ... -
Design, Implementation, and Analysis of a TLB-based Covert Channel on GPUs
GPUs are now commonly available in most modern computing platforms. They are increasingly being adopted in cloud platforms and data centers due to their immense computing capability. In response to this growth in usage, ... -
An MLIR-Based High-Level Synthesis Compiler for Hardware Accelerator Design
The emergence of machine learning, image and audio processing on edge devices has motivated research towards power-efficient custom hardware accelerators. Though FPGAs are an ideal target for custom accelerators, the ... -
Average Reward Actor-Critic with Deterministic Policy Search
The average reward criterion is relatively less studied as most existing works in the Reinforcement Learning literature consider the discounted reward criterion. There are few recent works that present on-policy average ... -
Ultrawideband and wide-angle scan antenna element and small active phased arrays
Wideband, wide-scan active phased arrays (APA) are widely used for multi-function radars, communication and electronic warfare. Although considerable research is available on the design and analysis of such antenna elements ... -
Towards Robustness of Neural Legal Judgement System
Legal Judgment Prediction (LJP) implements Natural Language Processing (NLP) techniques to predict judgment results based on fact description. It can play a vital role as a legal assistant and benefit legal practitioners ... -
First principles-based study of monolayer WSSe and metal interface.
The semiconductor-metal interface is universal for any electron device. Two-dimensional semiconductors have the advantages of free dangling bonds and atomically flat surfaces, making them promising materials to substitute ... -
Vision-driven Tele-Operation for Robot Manipulation
It’s worth the time to acknowledge just how amazingly well we humans can perform tasks with our hands. Starting from picking up a coin to buttoning up our shirts. All these tasks for robots are still at the very forefront ... -
Algorithms for Achieving Fairness and Efficiency in Matching Problems
Matching problems arise in numerous practical settings. Fairness and efficiency are two desirable properties in most such real world scenarios. This dissertation work presents new approaches and models for capturing and ... -
Privadome: A System for Citizen Privacy in the Delivery Drone Era
E-commerce companies are actively considering the use of delivery drones for customer fulfillment, leading to growing concerns around citizen privacy. Drones are equipped with cameras, and the video feed from these cameras ... -
CodeQueries: Benchmarking Query Answering over Source Code
Software developers often make queries about the security, performance effectiveness, and maintainability of their code. Through an iterative debugging process, developers analyze the code to find answers to these ... -
Modeling of Lightning Attachment to Aircraft and a Novel Methodology to Quantify Strike Rate
Air transport plays a vital role in global economic growth and long-distance commutation. The aviation industry is found to double its fleet size every fifteen years. According to Air Transport Action Group (ATAG), 45 ... -
True Random Number Generators based on Amplified Spontaneous Emission
Low-cost, high-speed quantum random number generators (QRNGs) are imperative to develop in order to have a widespread application in areas ranging from cryptography and stochastic simulations to banking and internet. ... -
Low Light Image Restoration: Models, Algorithms and Learning with Limited Data
The ability to capture high quality images under low-light conditions is an important feature of most hand-held devices and surveillance cameras. Images captured under such conditions often suffer from multiple distortions ... -
Modelling, Stabilization Methods and Power Amplification for Power Hardware-in-Loop Simulation with Improved Accuracy
Accurate testing of a device under development, in near to real-life environment, is essential to the rapid growth of emerging technologies such as distributed generation, renewable energy sources, electrical storage, ... -
Stochastic Finite Element Modeling of Material and Geometric Uncertainties in Electromagnetics
