- Description:
- Every day, we communicate through computers on projects ranging from a group lunch order to booking a flight to learning critical medical information. And every day, we also miscommunicate through computers: We don’t pick up on an intentionally humorous response, or we miss the criticality of a request. This is...

- Description:
- SCN2A encodes the NaV1.2 voltage-gated sodium channel, which is thought to contribute to the development of the central nervous system. Pathogenic variants in SCN2A have been associated with neurodevelopmental disorders (NDD), including developmental and epileptic encephalopathies (DEE), intellectual disability (ID), and autism spectrum disorder (ASD). These disorders represent a significant...

- Description:
- The speed of the storage device has long lagged behind the computation speed of processors.As a result, the I/O performance of storage systems in a supercomputer fails to keep up with its computational power. This gap continues to widen in modern supercomputers. On future exascale supercomputers, this issue can worsen...

- Description:
- The basal ganglia operate largely in closed parallel loops, including an associative circuit for goal-directed behavior originating from the dorsomedial striatum (DMS) and a somatosensory circuit important for habit formation originating from the dorsolateral striatum (DLS). An exception to this parallel circuit organization was proposed to explain how information is...

- Description:
- This dissertation consists of three chapters on theoretical and empirical industrial organization. The first chapter highlights a previously unnoticed property of commonlyused discrete choice models, which is that they feature parallel demand curves. The second chapter studies how a behavioral consumer preference with “price reference effect” can overturn the standard...
