Do Students Learn Better Together? Teaching Design Patterns and the OSI Model with the Aronson Method
Abstract concepts like software design patterns and the OSI model often pose challenges for engineering students, and traditional methods may fall short in promoting deep understanding and individual accountability. This study explores the use of the Aronson Jigsaw method to enhance learning and engagement in two foundational computing topics. The intervention was applied to two 2025 cohorts, with student progress measured using a Collaborative Learning Index derived from formative assessments.…

Wall Shear Stress Estimation in Abdominal Aortic Aneurysms: Towards Generalisable Neural Surrogate Models
Abdominal aortic aneurysms (AAAs) are pathologic dilatations of the abdominal aorta posing a high fatality risk upon rupture. Studying AAA progression and rupture risk often involves in-silico blood flow modelling with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and extraction of hemodynamic factors like time-averaged wall shear stress (TAWSS) or oscillatory shear index (OSI). However, CFD simulations are known to be computationally demanding. Hence, in recent years, geometric deep learning methods, ope…

OSI-flex: Optimization-Based Shearing Interferometry for Joint Phase and Shear Estimation Using a Flexible Open-Source Framework
Shearing interferometry is a common-path quantitative phase imaging technique in which an object beam interferes with a laterally shifted replica of itself, providing high temporal stability, reduced sensitivity to environmental noise, compact design, and compatibility with partially coherent illumination that suppresses coherence-related artifacts. Its principal limitation, however, is that it yields only sheared phase-difference measurements rather than the absolute phase, thereby requiring a…

Faster Linear Algebra Algorithms with Structured Random Matrices
To achieve the greatest possible speed, practitioners regularly implement randomized algorithms for low-rank approximation and least-squares regression with structured dimension reduction maps. Despite significant research effort, basic questions remain about the design and analysis of randomized linear algebra algorithms that employ structured random matrices. This paper develops a new perspective on structured dimension reduction, based on the oblivious subspace injection (OSI) property. Th…

An analysis of the effects of open science indicators on citations in the French Open Science Monitor
This study investigates the correlation of citation impact with various open science indicators (OSI) within the French Open Science Monitor (FOSM), a dataset comprising approximately 900,000 publications authored by French authors from 2020 to 2022. By integrating data from OpenAlex and Crossref, we analyze open science indicators such as the presence of a pre-print, data sharing, and software sharing in 576,537 publications in the FOSM dataset. Our analysis reveals a positive correlation betw…
