Confronting Plate Models with the Deep Mantle
Published 2026Mantle circulation models, numerical models of whole-mantle convection driven by tectonic reconstructions, are widely used to predict present-day mantle structure and, in turn, to evaluate the reconstructions themselves. ...Open AccessThesis -
Capturing Students' Conceptual Change When Exploring Decimals through Dynamic Digital Representations
Published 2026Decimals are of great significance in the primary mathematics curriculum due to their application and use in everyday life. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of certain dynamic digital ...Open AccessThesis -
BayeSpace - Applying Bayesian Statistics to Environmental and Ecological Phenomena
Published 2026Environmental and ecological phenomena are inherently complex, dynamic, and uncertain — requiring analytical tools that can generate accurate predictions while transparently quantifying uncertainty. This thesis introduces ...Open AccessThesis -
Engineering entanglement in trapped ion quantum harmonic oscillators using spin-dependent interactions
Published 2026Quantum harmonic oscillators are a central resource in quantum technologies. Coupling this resource to a two-level system gives rise to spin-oscillator dynamics that can be used for system calibrations, enhanced sensitivity ...USyd AccessThesis -
Optimizing Large Language Models: Algorithmic Advancements and Model Design Strategies
Published 2026Large Language models have achieved remarkable performance across diverse tasks, but face two critical deployment challenges: (1) the key-value (KV) cache memory bottleneck that limits model deployment in resource-constrained ...Open AccessThesis
