    • The Human Immune System: A Challenging Control Problem 

      Vale, Julie (University of Waterloo, 2004)
      This work deals with the control of the human immune system. A standard immune system model is modified by introducing control signals corresponding to drug cocktail and immune suppressor treatments. The ultimate ...
    • Nonlinear Optimal Control of Automated Vehicles in a Connected Environment 

      Tan, Derrick (University of Waterloo, 2019-09-12)
      This thesis is based around the University of Waterloo EcoCAR Team (UWAFT) and the EcoCAR Mobility Challenge. The overall objective of the competition is to design and build a hybrid electric vehicle with SAE Level 2 ...
    • Nonlinear Periodic Adaptive Control for Linear Time-Varying Plants 

      Rudko, Volodymyr (University of Waterloo, 2013-08-30)
      In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Adaptive control techniques have been developed since 1950’s and most results were proven in the cases when the ...
    • Numerical Methods for Nonlinear Equations in Option Pricing 

      Pooley, David (University of Waterloo, 2003)
      This thesis explores numerical methods for solving nonlinear partial differential equations (PDEs) that arise in option pricing problems. The goal is to develop or identify robust and efficient techniques that ...
    • Path Following and Stabilization of an Autonomous Bicycle 

      Bickford, David (University of Waterloo, 2013-09-26)
      In this thesis we investigate the problem of designing a control system for a modern bicycle so that the bicycle is stable and follows a path. We propose a multi-loop control architecture, where each loop is systematically ...
    • Periodic Nonlinear Adaptive Control of Rapidly Time-Varying Linear Systems 

      Simard, Joel David (University of Waterloo, 2018-09-25)
      In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time-varying parameters. Most techniques are proven for the case in which any time-variation is slow, with results for systems with fast ...
    • Predicting epileptic seizures using nonlinear dynamics 

      Marshall, William (University of Waterloo, 2009-01-23)
      Epilepsy is a nervous system disorder which affects approximately 1% of the world's population. Nearly 25% of people who have epilepsy are resistant to traditional treatments such as medication and are not candidates for ...
    • Springless Electromagnetic Vibration Energy Harvesters 

      Bendame, Mohamed (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 ...
