Scientific advances and several technical breakthroughs have led to a remarkable increase in available laser intensities over the past decades. In available ultra-intense laser fields, photon fluxes may become so high that free charge carriers interact coherently with several of the field's photons. In this thesis such nonlinear interactions are investigated for the prime example of radiation emission by electrons scattered from intense laser pulses of arbitrary temporal structure. To this end, nonlinear quantum field theory is employed taking the interaction with the laser into account exactly. After an in-depth introduction to classical particle dynamics as well as quantum field theory in nonlinearly intense laser fields the emission of one and two photons is explicitly analyzed. The results are then translated to viable technical applications, such as a scheme for the determination of the carrier-envelope phase of ultra-intense laser pulses and a proposal for detecting the strongly suppressed two-photon signal.

The City Village thesis maintains that the diverse activities of living and working can co-inhabit the same complex of buildings providing that this complex promotes community through the architecture of its form and circulation network. The design is built upon the premise that the separation of living and working spaces is no longer a necessity. Telecommunications, new technologies, non-industrial and non-noxious industries are changing the nature of the workplace and allowing its integration into residential neighborhoods. The influx of independent consultants and small businesses to urban communications nuclei such as Cambridge or the Greater Boston area have affected city growth patterns by increasing urban density and decreasing liveability. This thesis investigates a resolution to the problems cited by proposing a mixed-use development which can accommodate for increased density while providing for the inherent qualities of human liveability: light, air, space, privacy, and community. Organized around a common outdoor courtyard garden, the City Village is a complex of interdependent buildings linked to each other and to the street by a system of paths and places which allow continuous movement between public, semi-public, and private zones. Critical to the design is the creation of a circulation network, the system of paths and places, wherein people engaged in differing activities might mingle together with ease and concord. The specific site, chosen in Harvard Square, Cambridge, Massachusetts, borders both a busy commercial thoroughfare and a residential neighborhood. This site allows the architect to be guided by a design program reflecting: 1. The growth and change of a community's scale, density, and social needs, 2. the character and liveability of a neighborhood, and 3 . the context and connection of the architecture to the neighboring community.

In this current age of the Technological Revolution, technical proficiency is not enough for graduating engineers and scientists. Creativity and innovation need to be emphasized and pursued. The Robotic Puppet Show fuses engineering, art, and education all in one. The focus of the project is to promote not only interest in math and science for young women, but it includes art to develop creative thinking. The robotic puppets are powered by Vex motors and servos and operated by remote control. After construction of a robotic puppet, I visited a Boston area high school as a guest speaker to demonstrate the robotic puppet's features and abilities, to talk about engineering as a student and in industry, and to gain feedback from students. The robotic puppet was well-received. Human interaction with the robotic puppet played a large part in the students interest. Future plans for the Robotic Puppet Show include developing more personable robots that interact with students on stage. Results indicate that there is potential for successfully teaching robotics to students in this art/engineering approach to both encourage women to pursue engineering and to develop creative thinking that is much needed in today's changing job market.
