Clustering behaviour in networks with time delayed all-to-all coupling
(University of Waterloo, 2017-08-30)Networks of coupled oscillators arise in a variety of areas. Clustering is a type of oscillatory network behavior where elements of a network segregate into groups. Elements within a group oscillate synchronously, while ... -
Detecting and distinguishing transitions in ecological systems: model and data-driven approaches
(University of Waterloo, 2020-01-22)There exists a plethora of systems that have the capacity to undergo sudden transitions that result in a significantly different state or dynamic. Consider the collapse of fisheries, outbreak of disease or transition to a ... -
Invariant manifold theory for impulsive functional differential equations with applications
(University of Waterloo, 2019-07-03)The primary contribution of this thesis is a development of invariant manifold theory for impulsive functional differential equations. We begin with an in-depth analysis of linear systems, immersed in a nonautonomous ... -
Springless Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvesters
(University of Waterloo, 2015-09-10)The abundance of environmental kinetic energy combined with advances in the electronics and MEMS industries have opened a window of opportunities for the design and fabrication of self-powered, battery independent, low-power ...
