Aboveground Storage Tank (AST) tightness testing using statistical approach

The industry partner, Cantest is establishing a new leak detection procedure for analyzing data sources in aboveground storage tanks and statistical learning models to monitor AST shell dynamics and product activity over time. This is an important problem as identifying leak detection is usually associated with various environmental data and records collected from sensitive sensors […]

Complete classification of Littlewood cyclotomic polynomials

The objective of this proposal is to study Littlewood cyclotomic polynomials of odd degree. In algebra, the cyclotomic polynomial is one such that has all its roots on the unit circle. Since all the coefficients of Littlewood polynomials are -1 or +1, its associates a finite binary sequence with -1 or +1 entries. Therefore, their […]

Understanding Systematic and Firm-Specific Components in Credit Risk

Credit risk—the potential that a borrower will fail to make required payments—is the oldest risk in our economy. It may arise in a number of circumstances, for example, a consumer failing to make the minimum payment due on a credit card or a company defaulting on its debt. Our main goal in this summer project […]

To analyze and identify White Box techniques that can be used to protect cryptographic operations of various ciphers, starting with SM4 Symmetric Block Cipher

White-box cryptography seeks to maintain the secrecy of cryptographic keys used by software, despite an attacker having full control over the software. This project extends the work by Dr. Lin on the Chinese cipher SM4, as well as its application to a further cipher. The goal of this project is: 1) To implement a complete […]

Multidimensional screening with general nonlinear preferences

As a central problem in modern microeconomic theory, multidimensional screening plays a significant role in taxation theory, regulation, nonlinear pricing, insurance, etc. Starting from eminent work of Nobel Laureates Mirrlees, Spence and Myerson, there are two main types of generalizations: one is in terms of dimensionality, from one-dimensional to multi-dimensional; the other is in preferences […]

Unistructuralité des algèbres amassées provenant de surfaces

Les algèbres amassées sont des objets d’études mathématiques générés par un ensemble de variables initiales. Pour construire une algèbre amassée, on modifie cet ensemble de variables en échangeant une à une n’importe quelle variable par une nouvelle variable construite grâce à des règles de mutation. Toutes les variables obtenues par ce procédé récursif répété une […]
