Lydon, S. (SciCAM) – Magnetic Buoyancy Instabilities in Deep, Twisted Magnetic Layers
In observing the solar magnetic field, possibly the most prominent features visible on the surface are sunspots, which emerge at different latitudes as the solar cycle progresses. Sunspot pairs are believed to be formed by concentrated bundles of mainly toroidal magnetic field (flux tubes) looping through the surface. These regions exhibit surprisingly ordered patterns of…

Doganyigit, K. (BMEB) – Reimagining the petri dish, automated incubator-free organoid culture system for long term organoid maintenance and disease modeling
Organoids offer strong in vitro models for studying development and disease; however, traditional incubator-based culture methods hinder environmental regulation, elevate evaporation rates, and limit imaging and instrumentation access—restricting their effectiveness for prolonged, physiologically relevant research. To address these challenges, we created a compact, automated culture system that eliminates the need for an incubator by integrating…

Van Duker, N. (AM) – A Random Choice Hybrid Method for Resolving Shock Placement Errors in 1D Relativistic Hydrodynamics with Transverse Velocities
This report presents a one-dimensional Random Choice-based hybrid method for simulating special relativistic hydrodynamics (SRHD) flow problems. The proposed scheme combines a high-order accurate method and a random choice method, selectively applying the first to smooth flows and the second to shocks and discontinuities. This hybrid approach addresses the issue of incorrect wave placements in…

Mavrogiannakis, A. (CSE) – Scalable Oblivious Databases and Systems
Modern applications are increasingly designed with a strong emphasis on scalability and performance, as systems are expected to process ever-growing volumes of data and deliver results with minimal latency. Techniques such as distributed architectures, in-memory computation, and optimized data structures are routinely adopted to meet these performance-driven demands. However, in the pursuit of speed and…

Rakshit, G. (CSE) -Improving Question Answering through Figurativeness Understanding, Semantic Representation and Multi-Agent Conflict Resolution
Open-domain question answering (ODQA) systems come with diverse challenges — ranging from resolving conflicting information to interpreting figurative expressions and representing meaning in a human-understandable form. This dissertation presents three complementary contributions toward building more robust and interpretable QA systems. First, we investigate QA model performance on figurative language. Introducing FigurativeQA, a benchmark of yes/no…
