Dynamics Of The Global Wheat Trade Network And Resilience To Shocks
(Nature Publishing Group, 2017-08-03)Agri-food trade networks are increasingly vital to human well-being in a globalising world. Models can help us gain insights into trade network dynamics and predict how they might respond to future disturbances such as ... -
Implementation of Coupled Thermo-Mechanical Topology Optimization Methods for Effective Additive Manufacturing of a Gas Turbine Component
(University of Waterloo, 2020-02-18)Additive manufacturing (AM) is a relatively new technology that is making its way into different industries at a fast pace. In order to take full advantage of flexibility and freedom that this technology provides, a proper ... -
Multimaterial Mesh-Based Surface Tracking
(Association for Computing Machinery, 2014-07-01)We present a triangle mesh-based technique for tracking the evolution of three-dimensional multimaterial interfaces undergoing complex deformations. It is the first non-manifold triangle mesh tracking method to simultaneously ... -
A Practical Method for High-Resolution Embedded Liquid Surfaces
(Wiley, 2016-05-01)Combining high-resolution level set surface tracking with lower resolution physics is an inexpensive method for achieving highly detailed liquid animations. Unfortunately, the inherent resolution mismatch introduces several ... -
Topological Order in String Liquids and Weyl Semimetals
(University of Waterloo, 2022-08-22)Outside Landau's paradigm of symmetry-breaking orders is the class of topological orders, which cannot be described by a local order parameters. Such orders are generally defined by the presence of a gauge symmetry and ... -
Topology in Fundamental Physics
(University of Waterloo, 2011-09-02)In this thesis I present a mathematical tool for understanding the spin networks that arise from the study of the loop states of quantum gravity. The spin networks that arise in quantum gravity possess more information ...
