Hedging in a Financial Market with Regime-Switching
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-06)It is well-known that in the complete standard financial market model driven solely by Brownian motion, one can always hedge a given contingent claim starting from an appropriate initial wealth. In other words, there always ... -
Multivariate Time Series Data Causal Discovery
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-05)One of the goals for Artificial Intelligence is to achieve human-like intelligence. To that end, several solutions were proposed over the decades, where causal structure discovery was proposed as a viable tool for enabling ... -
Constructing an External Cavity Diode Laser for the Probing of Rydberg Excitons in Cu2O
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-05)Cuprous oxide (Cu2O) is a direct bandgap semiconductor that presents a promising platform for the implementation of a solid state quantum simulator. This promise is in part due to the presence of excitons in the material ... -
Integrated Daily Windows and But-For Analyses for Accurate Schedule Forensics in Construction Projects
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)Construction projects usually operate in dynamic multi-party constrained environments that frequently cause schedule delays and cost overruns and lead to disputes among parties. To mitigate such disputes and fairly apportion ... -
High-Q Millimeter Wave RF Filters and Multiplexers
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-04)For a long period of time, millimeter waves (mm-Wave) were considered unsuitable for wireless data transmission due to high attention while propagating in the atmosphere. Over the past few years, due to the vigorous ... -
A Flexible Ultralight Hardware Security Module for EPC RFID Tags
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)Due to the rapid growth of using Internet of Things (IoT) devices in daily life, the need to achieve an acceptable level of security and privacy for these devices is rising. Security risks may include privacy threats like ... -
Deep Reinforcement Learning Based Approach for Multi-Agent Control of Residential Electric Water Heaters for Distribution Load Management
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)The push towards decarbonization and electrification of the society is leading to increased electricity demand. Many countries, including Canada, are utilizing non-greenhouse gas (GHG) emitting sources and renewable energy ... -
Characterisation and modeling of precipitation kinetics and yield strength in variously treated 7000-series aluminum alloys
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)This thesis investigates the effects of: (a) various aging practices, and (b) deformation during a warm-forming cycle, on the precipitation hardening response and aging kinetics of AA7050 and AA7075, respectively. The ... -
Studying CNN representations through activation dimensionality reduction and visualization
(University of Waterloo, 2021-10-01)The field of explainable artificial intelligence (XAI) aims to explain the decisions of DNNs. Complete DNN explanations accurately reflect the inner workings of the DNN while interpretable explanations are easy for humans ... -
Staff Scheduling During a Pandemic
(University of Waterloo, 2021-09-30)The year 2019 revealed that some of the policies which have shaped the core structure of many organizations in different industries for a long time, could result in an absolute failure in an unprecedented crisis like the ... -
Coordinated path following of unicycles : A nested invariant sets approach
(Elsevier, 2015)We formulate a coordinated path following problem for N unicycle mobile robots as an instance of a nested set stabilization problem. Stabilization of the first set corresponds to driving the unicycles to their assigned ... -
