Social network analysis has become one of the most powerful analytic tools in both private and government sectors and a key source of information on individuals and groups. Recently, social media arose as an important source for social network data in both sectors. Unfortunately, theoretically motivated approaches to social network analysis have not been able to keep pace with the new informationa ...

The goal of this project is to design and build a THz-frequency spectrometer prototype with sub-wavelength spatial resolution for use in the spectroscopic and temporal analysis of trace material samples in advanced sensing and monitoring applications. The instrument operating at room temperature will include a periodic-grating microfluidic sampling system with controlled precise sample placement a ...

Ultrafast true random number generators are ideal for data encryption, Monte Carlo testing, and other data transport applications. Torch"s team has extensive experience designing, building, and testing oscillators based on the innovative, hybrid, exactly-solvable, chaotic oscillator theory as developed by Corron, Blakely and Pethel. These oscillators are capable of generating provably-chaotic wa ...
