  • Design and Implementation of a Modular Ocean Drifter Kit

    Creator:
    Green, Austin
    Abstract:
    Ocean Drifters are a low-cost and easy-to-use platform that are commonly used for studying ocean currents. With added interest in studying the ocean, emphasis has been taken to make it more accessible. A pilot course focused on introducing the topic of ocean sensing was announced. The HC 407 course will...

  • Design and Modeling Techniques for Impedance Based Flow Cytometry

    Creator:
    Dawes, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Microfluidic devices have enabled lab-on-a-chip (LOC) systems that allow for complex sample analysis and preparation in a compact form factor. One technology that may benefit from a microfluidic approach and further miniaturization is flow cytometry. Flow cytometry is an analysis technique for enumerating and characterizing populations of cells; this is...

  • Constraint based personalization

    Creator:
    Nagboth, Sai Rajkiran
    Abstract:
    Personalization is defined as a process that facilitates interaction among consumers and providers such that individual consumers are enabled to more readily access the content and services of providers, and individual providers are enabled to more effectively and easily deliver their content and services to consumers. This project presents a...

  • Noise optimization for low-voltage CMOS audio preamplifier systems

    Creator:
    Brown, Matthew Eugene
    Abstract:
    There is a large and growing market for portable consumer audio products with very small size. As the size of these products is reduced, the area occupied by batteries becomes significant and hence limits the number of batteries to one. In order to build such small products, high levels of...

  • A tool for visualizing sequence alignments and associating annotations

    Creator:
    Zhang, Wenpeng
    Abstract:
    Alignment of genomic sequences from different species is becoming an increasingly powerful method in biology, and is being used for many purposes. The result of sequence alignments is a list of pairs of matched locations between the pattern string and the text string. However, without any proper visualization tools to...

  • A domain-specific embedded language for probabilistic programming

    Creator:
    Kollmansberger, Steven
    Abstract:
    Functional programming is concerned with referential transparency, that is, given a certain function and its parameter, that the result will always be the same. However, it seems that this is violated in applications involving uncertainty, such as rolling a dice. This thesis defines the background of probabilistic programming and domain-specific...

  • A data-driven model of pedestrian movement

    Creator:
    Casburn, Ledah
    Abstract:
    This thesis presents a model for simulating individual pedestrian motion based on empirical data. The model keeps track of a pedestrian’s position, orientation, and body configuration and leverages motion capture data to generate plausible motion. Our model can automatically incorporate a pedestrian’s physical limitations when making movement decisions, since it...

  • Highly-Integrated Low-Power RF Receivers for Distributed Sensing and IoT Devices

    Creator:
    Bialek, Hayden
    Abstract:
    Low-power receivers (RX) with 100$\mu W$-scale power consumption can enable several power/energy-constrained IoT applications. However, achieving sensitivity, interferer tolerance and wide operating range with low power presents a challenge for existing architectures, particularly those constrained to highly integrated solutions without high-Q off-chip components. Existing solutions rely heavily on high quality...

  • SIMstat: Wireless, Highly-Reconfigurable Electrochemical Analog Front-End for Point-of-Care Diagnostics and Continuous Monitoring

    Creator:
    Cook, Jacob M.
    Abstract:
    Within the past decade, the continued-scaling of CMOS processes and improvements in industry mixed-signal integrated-circuit designs have enabled a rapid decrease in the cost, form-factor, and power for point-of-care diagnostics and electrochemical instrumentation. Similarly, advances in low-power RF designs have prompted entire System-on-Modules supporting widely varied Internet-of-Things (IoT) applications. The...

  • New Techniques for Multi-Channel Biosignal Acquisition and Low-Power, Low-Resistance-Measurement Systems

    Creator:
    Kim, Jinyong
    Abstract:
    Dense electrical recording of biosignals has been developed to provide spatial resolution and precise temporal information for health monitoring, diagnostics, and clinical research. However, more electrodes require more wires, and wiring density quickly becomes a limiting factor. To break this bottleneck, we proposed a frequency-division multiplexing (FDM) based architecture for...
