Chang, Brian (author), Yang, Liufei (author), Sensi, M. (author), Achterberg, M.A. (author), Wang, F. (author), Rinaldi, M. (author), Van Mieghem, P.F.A. (author)We introduce a Markov Modulated Process (MMP) to describe human mobility. We represent the mobility process as a time-varying graph, where a link specifies a connection between two nodes (humans) at any discrete time step. Each state of the Markov chain encodes a certain modification to the original graph. We show that our MMP model...conference paper 2022

Qian, N. (author), Chang, Guobin (author), Ditmar, P.G. (author), Gao, Jingxiang (author), Wei, Zhengqiang (author)High-frequency and correlated noise filtering is one of the important preprocessing steps for GRACE level-2 products before calculating mass anomaly. Decorrelation and denoising kernel (DDK) filters are usually considered as such optimal filters to solve this problem. In this work, a sparse DDK filter is proposed. This is achieved by...journal article 2022

Chang, J. (author)In the past decades, generating single photons on demand with well defined quantum states and detecting them after photon-photon or photon-matter interaction are central to the area of quantum optics and quantum information science. The ability to detect light efficiently at the single photon level offers unprecedented opportunities for a wide...doctoral thesis 2021

Chang, X. (author)In reality, the interaction between surface wave-current flow and numerous kinds of man-made maritime structures is local but embedded in a domain with the size of a sea. Detailed simulations of the vast domain are computationally unfeasible. Therefore, articial boundaries are introduced to truncate the large domain so as to obtain a small...doctoral thesis 2021
