Ultrafast dynamics in quantum materials probed by time-and-momentum-resolved techniques by Su, Yifan

“…I will further discuss the original methodology I developed that uses coherent acoustic phonon detected with UED as a picosecond timescale "lock-in" experiment that senses nano-scale mechanical motions in ultra-thin quantum materials. The last part of the dissertation will focus on charge density wave (CDW) phase transitions in quantum materials. …”

Machine learning-based approaches for large-scale temporal data analytics by Seyed Ali Majid Zonoozi

“…To address this problem, a temporal anomaly detection model is proposed in our last study. The proposed model can effectively capture spatial and temporal dependencies in spatio-temporal sequences and detect abnormal crowd density patterns in geo-spatial domain, using temporal meta-data prediction error. …”
