Doubtful it’s written in Word. The empty pages are because this is a document that’s intended to be printed double sided and bound. Try printing off 10 or 20 pages that way and you’ll see those empty pages serve their purpose.

From the column alignment and page number alignment, it looks to me to be typeset to be double-sided but clipped / stapled. And I agree that most of the decisions work in favor rather than against.

I disagree with ancestor comment that the author "breaks" their figure placement; it's done so that figures can be typeset to take up either text-width or page-width, depending on which is preferable for the figure.

I doubt it's designed to be stapled or clipped, because it's a dissertation, but you're absolutely right about the figure placement. I forgot to mention that.
