  • Quantum dot plasmon coupling : Fundamental study and applications

    Creator:
    Kannegulla, Akash
    Abstract:
    The dissertation focuses on the engineering of light-matter interaction using plasmonic nanoparticles and metamaterials to achieve enhanced luminescence and based on which to improve the performance of biosensing and light-emitting technologies. We designed and fabricated a spectrum of nanostructures to exhibit particular dispersion relations capable of controlling the spontaneous emission...

  • Resource allocation optimization in large scale distributed systems

    Creator:
    Duong-Ba, Thuan Hong
    Abstract:
    We studied the problem of resource allocation in large scale distributed applications such as Online Social Networks (OSN) and Cloud Computing. In such settings, resource allocation schemes need to efficient as well as adaptive to the time-varying environments. The abstract resource allocation problem concerns with how to optimally use resources...

  • Development of Amorphous Metal Thin Films for Thermal Inkjet Printing and Microelectronics

    Creator:
    McGlone, John M.
    Abstract:
    Due to a lack of grain boundaries, an amorphous metal thin film (AMTF) possesses advantageous mechanical properties and enhanced chemical stability that is potentially useful for thermal inkjet (TIJ) printing applications. The use of an AMTF as a TIJ resistor or cavitation plate could lead to a thinner TIJ cavitation...

  • Location Privacy-Preserving Strategies for Secondary Spectrum Use

    Creator:
    Grissa, Mohamed
    Abstract:
    The scarcity of wireless spectrum resources and the overwhelming demand for wireless broadband resources have prompted industry, government agencies and academia within the wireless communities to develop and come up with effective solutions that can make additional spectrum available for broadband data. As part of these ongoing efforts, cognitive radio...

  • Learning with Limited Labeled Data in Natural Language Processing

    Creator:
    Obeidat, Rasha
    Abstract:
    The advent of deep learning models leads to a substantial improvement in a wide range of NLP tasks, achieving state-of-art performances without any hand-crafted features. However, training deep models requires a massive amount of labeled data. Labeling new data as a new task or domain emerges consumes time and efforts...

  • A novel method for zinc oxide nanowire sensor fabrication

    Creator:
    Pelatt, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    Interest in nanomaterials is motivated partly by their potential for sensor arrays to detect different gases. Nanowires in particular are of interest because their high surface-to-volume ratio promises the possibility of high sensitivity. However, because of their discrete quasi-one-dimensional geometry, electrical integration of nanowires into photolithographically defined devices and circuits...

  • Evaluation of partial discharge in inverter driven medium voltage propulsion coils

    Creator:
    Ramme, André
    Abstract:
    Advancements in power electronics to higher power levels and faster switching times allow new machine and systems designs, but also create higher stresses on electric machinery insulation. High performance, pulse-width modulated (PWM) inverters are now available for medium voltage drive systems, and are being considered by the U.S. Navy as...

  • Design techniques for wideband low-power Delta-Sigma analog-to-digital converters

    Creator:
    Wang, Yan
    Abstract:
    Delta-Sigma (ΔΣ) analog-to-digital converters (ADCs) are traditionally used in high quality audio systems, instrumentation and measurement (I&M) and biomedical devices. With the continued downscaling of CMOS technology, they are becoming popular in wideband applications such as wireless and wired communication systems,high-definition television and radar systems. There are two general realizations...
