Seeking the new, learning from the unexpected: Computational models of surprise and novelty in the brain

Human babies have a natural desire to interact with new toys and objects, through which they learn how the world around them works, e.g., that glass shatters when dropped, but a rubber ball does not. When their predictions are proven incorrect, such as whe ...

Investigations about the Chemistry of Tetraarylethene- and Iridium-Based Luminophores

Anastasia Gitlina

The work described in this thesis focuses on two classes of luminophores: tetraarylethene-based polymers and Ir(III) complexes with orthometalated ligands. Tetraarylethene-based polymers show aggregation-induced emission (AIE) and they are of interest for ...

VIDEZZO: Dependency-aware Virtual Device Fuzzing

Mathias Josef Payer, Flavio Toffalini, Qiang Liu

A virtual machine interacts with its host environment through virtual devices, driven by virtual device messages, e.g., I/O operations. By issuing crafted messages, an adversary can exploit a vulnerability in a virtual device to escape the virtual machine, ...

Advancing the Adaptability of Compliant Robot Controllers for Exploration, Interaction, and Manipulation

Farshad Khadivar

As technology continues to evolve, robots are becoming an intrinsic part of our lives. While robots surpass human capabilities in precision and speed, they are far from matching humans' ability to adapt to unexpected changes. Humans can quickly and complia ...

X-Shells: A new class of deployable beam structures

Mark Pauly, Florin Isvoranu, Mina Konakovic Lukovic, Francis Julian Panetta, Etienne Bouleau

We present X-shells, a new class of deployable structures formed by an ensemble of elastically deforming beams coupled through rotational joints. An X-shell can be assembled conveniently in a flat configuration from standard elastic beam elements and then ...

Light trapping in hematite-coated transparent particles for solar fuel generation

Ali Dabirian

Hematite (alpha-Fe2O3), due to its abundance and low-cost, is an attractive compound for photoelectrochemical splitting of water to produce hydrogen. However, one major obstacle preventing hematite from achieving the target efficiencies comprises its signi ...
