"Towards Performance and Cost-efficiency for Data-intensive Applications in Distributed Data Processing Systems" Abstract: Data-intensive science (DIS) has experienced a significant boom in the past decade. The emerging technologies of data-intensive services and infrastructures contribute to DIS's development and raise challenges. An ecosystem has been constructed considering performance, scalability, sustainability, and reliability to provide a high-quality […]

"All-optical Control of Magnetization in Nanostructures" Committee: Prof. Yongmin Liu (Advisor) Prof. Don Heiman Prof. Nian X. Sun Abstract: The switching of magnetization by a femtosecond laser within several picoseconds has recently gained substantial attention, because it promises next-generation, energy-efficient, and high-rate data storage technology. One of the most intriguing demonstrations is the helicity-dependent switching […]
