Enabling Efficient and Scalable DRAM Read Disturbance Mitigation via New Experimental Insights into Modern DRAM Chips
(2024)Improvements in main memory storage density are primarily driven by technology node scaling, which causes DRAM cell size and cell-to-cell distance to reduce significantly. Unfortunately, technology scaling negatively impacts the reliability of DRAM chips by exacerbating DRAM read disturbance, i.e., accessing a row of DRAM cells can cause bitflips in data stored in other physically nearby DRAM rows. DRAM read disturbance 1) can be reliably ...Doctoral Thesis -

An Odyssey Through Political Space and Time: Tracing 130 Years of Swiss Legislative Work Through Computational Approaches
(2024)This thesis marks a significant advancement in the quantitative examination of the Swiss Parliament. By examining over 130 years of legislative work of the Swiss Federal Assembly, this work stands as the most comprehensive study conducted to date. Central to this thesis is the development of the DemocraSci relational graph database, a comprehensive database of over a century's Swiss parliamentary activities, ranging from 1891 to the ...Doctoral Thesis -

Unterzuglose Decken
(2023)This research examines the shifts in scientific-technological work in reinforced concrete in the beginning of the 20th century provoked against the backdrop of the emergence, development, transformation and replacement of flat slabs. I an unclean, non-linear process and through multiple intermediate steps flat slabs emancipated themselves from conceptually one-dimensional girder structures and frameworks, without being at first fully ...Doctoral Thesis -

Improving Network Failure Detection and Recovery with Programmable Data Planes
(2024)Since its creation, the Internet has grown exponentially in size and use cases, becoming an integral part of our society. Its seamless operation is often taken for granted; we only recognize its importance when disruptions occur. The current Internet’s complexity and scale make it prone to all sorts of failures, with each minute of downtime costing companies millions of dollars and damaging their reputation. In this thesis, we address ...Doctoral Thesis -

The Hydrology of High Mountain Asian Headwater Catchments via Mechanistic Modelling
(2024)The headwater catchments of High Mountain Asia (HMA) provide freshwater to large populations from the semi-arid lowlands of Central Asia to the densely populated agricultural plains and metropoles of Southern and Eastern Asia. Climatic conditions vary greatly between HMA sub- regions, with contrasting seasonality and amounts of precipitation, controlled by the interactions of several large-scale circulation systems. Climate change is ...Doctoral Thesis
