Longevity risk modelling with application to insurer longevity risk based capital stress margins

, 2011
Future mortality rates are uncertain and the risk that estimated mortality rates will be higher than observed rates has negative financial implications for providers of living benefits including life annuities and pensions. This thesis studies time trends and cohort trends in mortality rates to determine the number of factors that drive mortality ...

Ultra‐Thin Soft Pneumatic Actuation for Minimally Invasive Neural Interfacing

Advanced Materials Technologies, EarlyView.
Parylene C is a common polymer in bioelectronics, favored for its biological and chemical inertness. However, this makes bonding layers of Parylene C together very challenging. Here it is a laser to selectively weld layers of Parylene C to create high‐pressure fluidic actuation devices.
