A new comprehensive reflectance model is presented. The model accounts for both surface and subsurface local light scattering. The model combines, for the first time, highly-efficient wave optics components and rigorous empirical components. The model displays a wide range of directional and non-directional light scattering phenomena and compares favorably against extensive, detailed reflectanc...

I would like to thank Harry Swinney for providing invaluable guidance throughout this project. He has made this project the high point of my undergraduate education, and it has been an honor to work with such an accomplished physicist. I thank Matthew Thrasher for helping me in the lab on a daily basis. He has taught me the ins and outs of the entire experimental process showing great insight a...

This paper investigates how government antipoverty programs in the United States can support the development of disadvantaged children. I accomplish this by formalizing and estimating a model in which maternal investments of time and money determine child outcomes. Mothers choose these investments, their labor supply, and their program participation subject to constraints on their time and budg...

There have been major advances in the theoretical study of the determinants of cooperation with many applications in economics and the social sciences. A growing experimental literature has studied the determinants of cooperation, tested different predictions of the theory, and suggested an empirical solution to the problem of multiple equilibria in infinitely repeated games. To provide a robus...
