Deep Learning-based Forecasting and Energy Management Algorithms for Smart Grid Applications
DownloadFall 2023
With the increasing global problems concerning energy security and climate change, new challenges in social progress and human survival have come to the fore. Requiring no fuel, and being renewable and non-polluting, renewable energy (RE) resources, typically from photovoltaic and wind sources,...

Fall 2014
Approximate adders have been considered as a potential alternative for error-tolerant applications to trade off some accuracy for gains in other circuit-based metrics, such as power, area and delay. Existing approximate adder designs have shown substantial advantages in improving many of these...

Spring 2012
This thesis presents low complexity design and decoding schemes for low density parity check (LDPC) codes. First, we consider the iterative decoding of LDPC codes on multiple-input-multiple-output bit-interleaved coded modulation (MIMO-BICM) channels and two-way relay channels. More specifically,...

Design and Development of a UAV System for Multispectral Imaging and Remote Sensing Applications
DownloadSpring 2018
The increasing use of the Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) over the past few years has opened the door to a large number of applications in research, commercial, and industrial areas. UAVs have become an efficient, cost effective, and environmentally friendly (less or zero CO2 emissions) platform...
