(2019-12-26)
This dissertation includes three essays within macro-finance literature ranging from international macroeconomics, to labor and housing market dynamics. While the focus of first essay is more on international, particular ...
An investigation into fluid flow and heat transfer of high frequency synthetic jets for electronics cooling
(2016-04)
Modern electronics have been decreasing in size for decades, so their cooling systems must continually improve in efficiency too. In particular, compactness is vital, which is challenging because typical thermal management ...
Robust estimation of term structure and implied volatility in emerging markets
(2016-07)
Despite powerful advances in interest rate curve modeling for data-rich countries in the last 30 years, comparatively little attention has been paid to the key practicalproblem of estimation of the term structure of interest ...

(2016-12)
The first chapter of this thesis analyzes return comovements phenomena known as correlation asymmetry. The phenomena has its two manifests: asymmetric correlations, referring to stock return correlations being higher during ...
Using eigenvoices and nearest-neighbours in HMM-based cross-lingual speaker adaptation with limited data
(2017-08)
Thesis abstract: Cross-lingual speaker adaptation for speech synthesis has many applications, such as use in speech-to-speech translation systems. Here, we focus on cross-lingual adaptation for statistical speech synthesis ...
An investigation into hydrophobic micro-textured surfaces on heat transfer and surface wetting phenomenon during vapor condensation
(2018-12-28)
Efficiency and performance of a system that involves condensation process have been one of the primary considerations over the last decades for a number of applications including thermal management systems such as vapor ...
Immersion cooling of suspended and coated nano-phosphor particles for extending the limits of optical extraction of light emitting diodes
(2017-08)
Energy efficiency, long life, exceptional color and performance of solid-state light (SSL) sources have resulted in a rapidly increasing trend in a number of practical applications especially for general lighting after a ...
Near- and far-field thermal radiation in metamaterials and the development of NF-RT-FDTD algorithm
(2016-06)
In this dissertation, analysis of near-field regime of thermal radiative transfer in metamaterials supporting surface phonon polaritons (SPhPs) is given. Solutions of electromagnetic fields at subwavelength distances are ...
The impact of brand architecture decisions on portfolio sales
(2017-06)
Decisions pertaining to the organization of products under brands within the company's portfolio are an important aspect of brand portfolio strategy with potentially serious top-and bottom-line implications. Despite the ...
Application of chemical mechanical polishing process on titanium based medical implants
(2017-05)
Biomaterials are commonly used as implant materials in the body for dental prostheses, orthopedic applications, heart valves and catheters. Based on the research studies conducted up to date, titanium and its alloys are ...
