There are significant limitations to creating effective haptic illusions in mobile devices such as tablets and smartphones. The main limitations are that these devices are too small in size to accommodate complex actuators ...

In this thesis, we consider two different optimization problems under uncertainty. The first problem is identifying defective components in failed k-out-of-n systems. In the second part, we study the parallel machine ...

There has been a growing interest in Visible Light Communications (VLC) in recent years. The existing works in the literature on point-to-point VLC systems are well established, and especially the studies on physical layer ...

Additive manufacturing (AM) has opened new avenues for the manufacturing of structures to achieve challenging engineering tasks. Triply periodic minimal surface (TPMS) lattices, a unique example of such structures, exhibits ...
