Nonlinear Periodic Adaptive Control for Linear Time-Varying Plants
In adaptive control the goal is to deal with systems that have unknown and/or time varying parameters. Adaptive control techniques have been developed since 1950's and many results were proven in the cases when the time-variations were slow. However the results pertaining to systems with fast time-variations are still limited, in particular when it comes to plants with unstable zero dynamics.

Phase-shifted Fiber Bragg Grating Based Humidity Sensor
In recent years, fiber Bragg grating sensors have been widely used because of their unique advantages, such as its multiplexing capability, remote monitoring capability, small size and immunity to electromagnetic. However, several challenges still need to be considered, one of which is the resolution and accuracy of measurements. In this thesis, a humidity fiber optic sensor based on phase-shifted (PS) fiber Bragg gratings (FBG) is demonstrated.

Algorithmic Problems in Access Control
Access control is used to provide regulated access to resources by principals. It is one of the most important and foundational areas of research in information security. Role-Based Access Control (RBAC) is one of the most popular and widely-used access control models. In particular, it has been argued that RBAC is ideally suited for enterprise settings. In this dissertation, we address two problems in the context of RBAC.
