Welcome to OpenBU
The Boston University Institutional Repository contains documents and publications authored or co-authored by BU faculty, students, and staff.
OpenBU is an open access repository, which means that the full text of the work deposited here is freely accessible to the world via the web. Access is restricted only in unavoidable instances, for example where publisher copyright restrictions prevail. However over 90% of scholarly publishers worldwide now allow some version of the documents they publish to be made available in a repository such as this.
If you are looking for information on BU's opt-out open access policy, please visit the BU Open Access website.

Effect of mediated interactions on a Hubbard chain in mixed-dimensional fermionic cold atoms
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020-07-10)Cold atom experiments can now realize mixtures where different components move in different spatial dimensions. We investigate a fermion mixture where one species is constrained to move along a one-dimensional lattice ... -
Transcriptional regulation landscape in health and disease
(2020)Transcription factors (TFs) control gene expression by binding to highly specific DNA sequences in gene regulatory regions. This TF binding is central to control myriad biological processes. Indeed, transcriptional ... -
Data and image domain deep learning for computational imaging
(2021)Deep learning has overwhelmingly impacted post-acquisition image-processing tasks, however, there is increasing interest in more tightly coupled computational imaging approaches, where models, computation, and physical ... -
Design and implementation of a miniaturized elastic scattering spectroscopy (mESS) system with scanning modality for oral cancer deep margins assessment
(2021)Oral cancer accounts for an estimated 650,000 new cases annually with a high mortality rate of approx. 50%. Oral cancer is typically treated with a combination of surgery, radiation and chemotherapy, but patients suffer ... -
Accelerated long range electrostatics computations on single and multiple FPGAs
(2021)Classical Molecular Dynamics simulation (MD) models the interactions of thousands to millions of particles through the iterative application of basic Physics. MD is one of the core methods in High Performance Computing ... -
Learning to identify emotional voices
(2021)Reduced abilities in talker identification are observed when listeners are presented with the voices of familiar talkers while in an unfamiliar emotional tone. Despite the acoustic variations caused by different emotional ... -
Role of mixed ionic and electronic transport on electrocatalytic activity of infiltrated nanoparticles in solid oxide fuel cell cermet electrodes
(2021)The infiltration of nanoparticle electrocatalysts into solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) electrodes has been proven to produce a high density of electrochemically active sites, and reduce charge transfer polarization losses in ... -
2020 Menino Survey of Mayors: policing and protests
(Boston University Initiative on Cities, 2021-01-27)The 2020 Menino Survey of Mayors represents the seventh nationally representative survey of American mayors and is based on interviews with 130 sitting mayors from 38 states. The 2020 Survey explores mayoral views on ... -
Forward and inverse design of kirigami via supervised autoencoder
(American Physical Society (APS), 2020-10-12)Machine learning (ML) methods have recently been used as forward solvers to predict the mechanical properties of composite materials. Here, we use a supervised autoencoder (SAE) to perform the inverse design of graphene ... -
Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum
(AIP Publishing, 2019-11-01)Mitchell Jay Feigenbaum, a theoretical physicist whose inquiring mind and intense focus enabled him to contribute broadly across many fields, died of a heart attack on 30 June 2019 in New York City. Mitchell’s most celebrated ...
