An intersection of events has led to a massive increase in the amount of medical data being collected from patients inside and outside the hospital. These events include the development of new sensors, the continuous decrease in the cost of data storage, the development of Big Data algorithms in other domains and the Health Information Technology for Economic and Clinical Health (HITECH) Act's $20 billion incentive for hospitals to install and use Electronic Health Record (EHR) systems. The data being collected presents an excellent opportunity to improve patient care. However, this opportunity is not without its challenges. Some of the challenges are technical in nature, not the least of which is how to efficiently process such massive amounts of data. At the other end of the spectrum, there are policy questions that deal with data privacy, confidentiality and ownership to ensure that research continues unhindered while preserving the rights and interests of the stakeholders involved. This thesis addresses both ends of the challenge spectrum. First of all, we design and implement a number of methods for automatically discovering groups within large amounts of data, otherwise known as clustering. We believe this technique would prove particularly useful in identifying patient states, segregating cohorts of patients and hypothesis generation. Specifically, we scale a popular clustering algorithm, Expectation-Maximization (EM) for Gaussian Mixture Models to be able to run on a cloud of computers. We also give a lot of attention to the idea of Consensus Clustering which allows multiple clusterings to be merged into a single ensemble clustering. Here, we scale one existing consensus clustering algorithm, which relies on EM for multinomial mixture models. We also develop and implement a more general framework for retrofitting any consensus clustering algorithm and making it amenable to streaming data as well as distribution on a cloud. On the policy end of the spectrum, we argue that the issue of data ownership is essential and highlight how the law in the United States has handled this issue in the past several decades, focusing on common law and state law approaches. We proceed to identify the flaws, especially the fragmentation, in the current system and make recommendations for a more equitable and efficient policy stance. The recommendations center on codifying the policy stance in Federal Law and allocating the property rights of the data to both the healthcare provider and the patient.

With the advent of the World Wide Web, the amount of digital information in the world has increased exponentially. The ability to organize this deluge of data, retrieve it, and combine it with other data would bring numerous benefits to organizations that rely on the analysis of this data for their operations. The Semantic Web encompasses various technologies that support better information organization and access. This thesis proposes a data federation engine that facilitates integration of data across distributed Semantic Web data sources while maintaining appropriate access policies. After discussing existing literature in the field, the design and implementation of the system including its capabilities and limitations are thoroughly described. Moreover, a possible application of the system at the Massachusetts Department of Education is explored in detail, including an investigation of the technical and nontechnical challenges associated with its adoption at a government agency. By using the federation engine, users would be able to exploit the expressivity of the Semantic Web by querying for disparate data at a single location without having to know how it is distributed or where it is stored. Among this research's contributions to the fledgling Semantic Web are: an integrated system for executing SPARQL queries; and, an optimizer that faciliates efficient querying by exploiting statistical information about the data sources.

Increasing use of electricity, interest in renewable energy sources, and need for a more reliable power grid system are some of the many drivers for the concept of the Smart Grid technology. In order to achieve these goals, one of the critical elements is communication between systems or between the system and human beings. With the decreasing cost of various communication technologies, especially wireless devices and utilities, researchers are increasingly interested in implementing complex two-way communication infrastructures to enhance the quality of the grid. The protection and control relay at the distribution level is one of the key component in enhancing the efficiency, security and reliability of power grid. At present, it may be premature to apply wireless devices to power electronics and to distribution automation, especially for protection and control relays in the distribution level. While fiber technology is still very attractive for protection and control applications in general, wireless technology can bring improvements in user experience applications in the future. The ABB medium voltage group needs to overcome challenges that arise from conservative industry structure, increasing complexity and cost of the product, and needs for higher reliability and security. However, with collaborative efforts among different product groups, the medium voltage group will successfully develop next generation distribution feeder relay.

Ocean surface transport is at the core of many environmental disasters, including the spread of marine plastic pollution, the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and the Fukushima nuclear contamination. Understanding and predicting flow transport, however, remains a scientific challenge, because it operates on multiple length- and time-scales that are set by the underlying dynamics. Building on the recent emergence of Lagrangian methods, this thesis investigates the present-day abilities to describe and understand the organization of flow transport at the ocean surface, including the abilities to detect the underlying key structures, the regions of stirring and regions of coherence within the flow. Over the past four years, the field of dynamical system theory has adapted several algorithms from unsupervised machine learning for the detection of Lagrangian Coherent Structures (LCS). The robustness and applicability of these tools is yet to be proven, especially for geophysical flows.
An updated, parameter-free spectral clustering approach is developed and a noise-based cluster coherence metric is proposed to evaluate the resulting clusters. The method is tested against benchmarks flows of dynamical system theory: the quasi-periodic Bickley jet, the Duffing oscillator and a modified, asymmetric Duffing oscillator. The applicability of this newly developed spectral clustering method, along with several common LCS approaches, such as the Finite-Time Lyapunov Exponent, is tested in several field studies. The focus is on the ability to predict these LCS in submesoscale ocean surface flows, given all the uncertainties of the modeled and observed velocity fields, as well as the sparsity of Lagrangian data. This includes the design and execution of field experiments targeting LCS from predictive models and their subsequent Lagrangian analysis.
These experiments took place in Scott Reef, an atoll system in Western Australia, and off the coast of Martha's Vineyard, Massachusetts, two case studies with tidally-driven channel flows. The FTLE and spectral clustering analyses were particularly helpful in describing key transient flow features and how they were impacted by tidal forcing and vertical velocities. This could not have been identified from the Eulerian perspective, showing the utility of the Lagrangian approach in understanding the organization of transport.
