Essays on the Role of Policy and Venture Financing in Clean Technology Innovation
This thesis aims to provide novel analyses and data that improve the understanding of the financing of investments in clean technologies. In particular, this thesis explores the role that private and public actors play in supporting young innovative firms. ...
EPFL2022Technology Strategy in Dynamic Environments: A Computational Analysis of the Automation of Routines, the Organization of AI, and the Evaluation of Technology Risk
In this dissertation, I develop theory and evidence to argue that new technologies are central to how firms organize to create and capture value. I use computational methods such as reinforcement learning and probabilistic topic modeling to investigate thr ...
EPFL2022A (2+epsilon)-Approximation Algorithm for Preemptive Weighted Flow Time on a Single Machine
Weighted flow time is a fundamental and very well-studied objective function in scheduling. In this paper, we study the setting of a single machine with preemptions. The input consists of a set of jobs, characterized by their processing times, release time ...
ASSOC COMPUTING MACHINERY2021Fragility Assessment of Beam-Slab Connections for Informing Earthquake-Induced Repairs in Composite-Steel Moment Resisting Frames
Dimitrios Lignos, Hammad El Jisr
Earthquake loss estimation in composite-steel moment resisting frames (MRFs) necessitates a proper estimation of the level of damage in steel beam-to-slab connections. These usually feature welded headed shear studs to ensure the composite action between t ...
2021An unethical optimization principle
If an artificial intelligence aims to maximize risk-adjusted return, then under mild conditions it is disproportionately likely to pick an unethical strategy unless the objective function allows sufficiently for this risk. Even if the proportion eta of ava ...
ROYAL SOC2020A systematic approach to estimating traffic load effects on bridges using weigh-in-motion data
Alain Nussbaumer, Manfred Hirt, Matthew James Sjaarda
In contrast to the Swiss load model used for new bridge structures (SIA 261), which has roots in a Europe-wide weigh-in-motion (WIM) study and considers the full design life of new structures, the model for existing structures (SIA 269) from 2005 is derive ...
ERNST & SOHN2020SCCER-FURIES - Deployment recommendation for large penetration of PV and distributed storage
Lionel Benjamin Bloch, Jordan Holweger
This report aims at providing some guidelines for the deployment of PV and distributed storage in low voltage grids, considering the economic aspects for the investors and the safety of the grid operation when facing a high PV penetration. This report prop ...
2020Giedion goes to Stockholm. A look at Swedish efforts in the social and housing question
During one of his many trips around Europe to observe the state of contemporary architecture, Sigfried Giedion went to Stockholm in 1930. On returning to Zurich, he published two extensive pa-pers about the city and the Stockholm Exhibition. The goal here ...
AISU International2020Biomechanical Properties and Resistance to Uprooting of Laboratory‐Scale Wood Logs
Wood dynamics affects riparian ecosystem functioning and river morphology. The spatial and temporal dynamics of wood pieces in river corridors, in particular of deposited rejuvenated wood logs, depend on their biomechanical properties and resistance to upr ...
AGU2020Trajectory Data Analysis on the Spatial and Temporal Influence of Pedestrian Flow on Path Planning Decision
Michel Bierlaire, Jeongyun Kim
The modeling of walking behavior and design of walk-friendly urban pathways have been of interest to many researchers over the past decades. One of the major issues in pedestrian modeling is path planning decision-making in a dynamic walking environment wi ...
