Depression after coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery is common (up to 40%) and increases risk of cardiac morbidity and mortality in the first year by more than two fold. However, current scarcity of data on etiopathogenesis of post-CABG depression hampers development of prevention or treatment strategies of post-CABG depression. “Vascular Depression” hypothesis posits that cerebrovascul...

In dealing with a large-scale system, one usually does not have adequate knowledge of the plant parameters and interactions among subsystems. The decentralized adaptive technique, designed independently for local subsystems and using locally available signals for feedback propose, is an appropriate strategy to be employed. In the context of decentralized adaptive control, a number of results ha...

Profile of Johanna Schmitt.

Understanding and predicting the adaptive evolution of complex traits in variable natural environments are central problems in plant evolutionary biology that motivate much of Johanna Schmitt’s research. Her work, which integrates plant evolutionary ecology, physiological ecology, and ecological genomics, has made significant contributions toward understanding the genetic basis of ecologically ...

Paul Schmitt —research Statement

Ubiquitous, high-bandwidth Internet and cellular connectivity is no longer a goal, but an expectation for modern-day users. Such connectivity is heavily dependent on infrastructure that is both costly and slow to deploy. As data consumption and demand increase at rates akin to Moore’s Law, traditional infrastructure models begin to break down. In my thesis work, I have studied problems surround...
