Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifiers
(2019)
The Recirculating Planar Crossed-Field Amplifier (RPCFA) is an adaptation of the Recirculating Planar Magnetron (RPM) that has been the focus of research at the University of Michigan’s Plasma, Pulsed Power and Microwave ...
Local to Global Multi-Scale Multimedia Modeling of Chemical Fate and Population Exposure
(2017)
To assess environmental and human exposure to chemical emissions, two types of approaches are available: 1. intermediate- to high-resolution, substance/location-specific analyses, and 2. lower resolution, less specific ...
Micro-Particle Operations Using Asymmetric Traps
(2017)
Micro-particles are a great tool to detect biomolecules for their high multiplexing capability, wide options of materials, and scalability. Currently, most of the platforms utilizing micro-particles are bench-top scale ...
Plasmonic Waveguide Lithography for Patterning Nanostructures with High Aspect-Ratio and Large-Area Uniformity
(2018)
The rapid development of the semiconductor industry in the past decades has driven advances in nano-manufacturing technologies towards higher resolution, higher throughput, better large-area uniformity, and lower manufacturing ...
High Resolution Organic Vapor Jet Printing of Phosphorescent Organic Light Emitting Diode Arrays.
(2013)
Organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) are widely used in mobile devices due to their thin form factor, wide color gamut, and high efficiency. The introduction of OLEDs into televisions and monitors has been slowed, in ...
GNSS-R Remote Sensing of the Ocean: Surface Waves and Related Phenomena
(2016)
In this thesis, we explore several fundamental issues in GNSS-R remote sensing. Global Navigation Satellite System - Reflectometry (GNSS-R) is a relatively young remote sensing technique proposed to measure geophysical ...
Numerical and Analytical Multiscale Modeling of High Cycle Fatigue in Advanced Materials
(2018)
Integrated Computational Materials Engineering (ICME) approaches are gaining popularity in various industries, such as electronics, automobile, and aerospace, due to their focus on multiscale simulation-based design and ...
Autonomous Scene Understanding, Motion Planning, and Task Execution for Geometrically Adaptive Robotized Construction Work
(2019)
The construction industry suffers from such problems as high cost, poor quality, prolonged duration, and substandard safety. Robots have the potential to help alleviate such problems by becoming construction co-workers, ...
Optical Quartz Crystal Microbalance (OQCM) for Dual-Mode Analysis
(2018)
Label-free biosensors allow for real-time measurements of the target molecule, providing valuable kinetic data about the unperturbed biological system. Yet, they generally rely on a single transduction mechanism that ...
Computational Studies of Turbulent Skin-Friction Drag Reduction with Super-Hydrophobic Surfaces and Riblets
(2017)
Skin-friction Drag Reduction (DR) with SuperHydrophobic (SH) surfaces and riblets was investigated using Direct Numerical Simulation (DNS) to study the scaling and mechanism of DR, and the pressure loads on SH surfaces in ...
