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 -
Fast Algorithms for Fréchet-Based Similarity
Published 2026Polygonal curves arise naturally when recording movement data from GPS traces, animal tracking, or eye-gaze measurements. A fundamental task is to compare such curves using a formal notion of similarity. The Fréchet distance ...Open AccessThesis -
Mesenchymal stem cell senescence: Mechanisms and rejuvenation strategies
Published 2025Cellular senescence is a key contributor to organismal ageing and reduces the regenerative capacity of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), limiting their therapeutic potential in treating age-related diseases. This thesis aimed ...USyd AccessThesis
