Automatic program repair and synthesis using genetic programming by Lee, Yue Yu

“…This project aims to make use of genetic programming to develop a tool which performs automatic program repair, and benchmarks used by other existing tools are also incorporated for testing how well the developed tool performs. Since the end goal would be to produce a compilable and runnable patched program from a previously buggy one, variables used for patch synthesis would need to be obtained from the original buggy program, and patches generated would need to be in the same programming language as well. …”

Design of a droop control scheme for programmable sources in a microgrid testbed by Lim, Liang Yuan, Krishnan, Ashok, Foo, Eddy Yi Shyh

“…Conversely, the programmable source does not have a power-frequency droop characteristic since it has no rotating parts. This paper demonstrates how the programmable source can be programmed to contain the power-frequency droop characteristics inherent to the synchronous generator. …”

Developments in THz Polaritonics: Towards Integrated Nonlinear THz Spectroscopy by Sung, Eric Rueyhao

“…A circular stair-step "echelon" mirror is used to shape the pump pulse into a conical tilted pulse front composed of a series of concentric rings of pump light. When the pump rings are imaged onto a thin LT waveguide, coherent superposition of the focusing THz fields excited individually by each pump ring results in a dramatically enhanced THz field at the focus. …”
