Hacer la vida en Ciudad Verde: Bringing Participatory Action Research to Colombia’s Affordable Housing macro-projects
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)Housing macro-projects have been central to Colombia’s urbanization tradition over the past century. A new set of laws put forth in the 2010s, and a particular economic chapter in the country’s history have brought a new ... -
Hacking innovation - group dynamics in innovation teams
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Innovative work is gradually shifting towards collaborative efforts by larger, multidisciplinary teams, making team efficacy an increasingly important field of study. Researchers in this field have mainly focused on ... -
Hacking voice assistants : speculative design as resistance in the age of surveillance capitalism
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)Surveillance is now ubiquitous. It is used to refer to a set of technologies, a mode of governance, socio-cultural practices, and also, a way of being in the world. This thesis examines surveillance in the context of voice ... -

Halide in Molecular Dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2023-06)In many fields, especially biology and chemistry, it is important to understand how a collection of particles will interact with each other over some period of time. If only managing a system of two particles, it is simple ... -
HalideTuner : generating and tuning halide schedules with Opentuner
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2015)Halide is a programming language designed to make it easier to write high-performance image processing code. Halide separates the scientific problem of how to write the image processing algorithm to get the required result ... -
Hall truster plume simulation using a hybrid-PIC algorithm
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003) -
Hallowed hands
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)Human hand transplantation became a medical reality at the turn of the 2 1st century. Often hailed by media and the general public as miraculous, these life-changing surgeries are also highly controversial. Many doctors, ... -
Hallucination machine : a body centric model of space perception
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2014)In this thesis I present a novel approach to space perception. I provide a body-centric computational model, The Hallucination Machine, that integrates bodily knowledge with senses in a common modality which I call "the ... -
HALO : re-forming architectural space with light caustics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)What form can light take? Light has been an eternal theme in architectural design. Light defines, shapes, and transforms space in various ways. However, the way light has been used in human history has not changed: the ... -
Hamilton's law of varying action--its interpretation and application in dynamics problems of lumped-parameter systems
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1991) -
Hamiltonian cycle and related problems : vertex-breaking, grid graphs, and Rubik's Cubes
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)In this thesis, we analyze the computational complexity of several problems related to the Hamiltonian Cycle problem. We begin by introducing a new problem, which we call Tree-Residue Vertex-Breaking (TRVB). Given a ... -
