Working with an interface or a partner? The influence of anthropomorphism on the design of an everyday working system
(2023)This research aimed to examine the impact of anthropomorphism, applied by adding subtle features to an interface, on the usability, credibility, trust, and task efficiency of RAPP (Registrative App Police Processes, ... -
Consensus Calling and Validation of Single Nucleotide Variant Calling from Nanopore Sequencing with Deep Learning for CyclomicsSeq
(2023)Cell-free DNA (cfDNA) are small (145 bp) DNA fragments that reside in the human circulation and other bodily fluids. cfDNA is derived from both healthy and tumour cells, in which case it is called circulating tumour DNA ... -
The Effect of Social Robotic Embodiment on Persuasion in Collective Moral Decision-Making
(2023)From day-to-day impressions such as marketing and social media, to political debates, people try to influence and persuade each other. Social cues such as speech, gazing, and listening are important to effectively convince ... -
Harnessing costimulatory domains for the structural design of transgenic T cell receptors to improve T cell-based immunotherapy
(2023)The use of T cell based immunotherapy has been growing over the years and a number of chimeric antigen receptor (CAR)-modified T cell therapies have been approved for clinical use. These therapies have shown impressive ... -

Quantum Algorithms For Compositional Distributional Semantics in Natural Language Processing
(2023)In this thesis, we try to combine machine learning and quantum computing in order to simultaneously perform different readings of a sentence. In the first part, we introduce a procedure to obtain a distributional tensor ... -
Local Search for integrated Economic Dispatch and Unit Commitment problems
(2023)Abstract I will present a novel way to model the hybrid Unit Commitment (UC) and Economic Dispatch (ED) problem as a variation of an interior point problem, which allows the problem to be tackled by common local-search ... -
Superconductive Tendencies of Strange Metals
(2023)Motivated by recent ARPES experiments on strange metals, we implement those measurements to the standard condensed-matter theory. Considering that the best description is found to be a nodal self-energy similar to that of ... -
Oceanic and Atmospheric Controls on Decadal Ice Shelf Basal Melt Variability around the Amundsen Sea
(2023)Warm ocean waters are driving the rapid ice loss around the Amundsen Sea, Antarctica. Decadal variability in melt and on-shelf heat transport is thought to be controlled by zonal shelf break winds and Pacific sea surface ...
