  • 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...

  • Synthesis, surface treatment, and characterization of copper indium sulfide quantum dots

    Creator:
    Alemu, Yagenetfere A.
    Abstract:
    The need for less toxic quantum dots (QDs) has led to a significant number of investigations related to copper indium sulfide (CIS) QDs. Lower toxicity and broad band absorbance width makes CIS QDs appealing for light emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, sensors, bio-imaging, solar cells, and computing. The optical and electronic...

  • Ultra-energy-efficient Silicon Photonic Modulators Driven by Transparent Conductive Oxides

    Creator:
    Li, Erwen
    Abstract:
    Silicon photonics has become the most promising platform for future large-scale optical interconnect and optical computing systems due to its inherent CMOS compatibility, which brings exclusive advantages in bandwidth density, energy efficiency, and cost effectiveness. Parallel optical interconnects based on photonic integrated circuits (PICs) have the capacity to meet the...

  • Oxygenate Reactions over PdCu and PdAg Catalysts: Influence of Electronic and Geometric Effects

    Creator:
    Bathena, Tanmayi
    Abstract:
    Bimetallic catalysis is a promising way to tune the catalytic properties of heterogeneous catalysts. In particular, bimetallic catalysts are extensively used to enhance the selectivity of monometallic catalysts in a variety of contexts, from oxidation catalysis to oxygenate coupling. In this work, we investigate PdxCuy/SiO2 and PdxAgy/SiO2 catalysts in the...

  • Fully-integrated mm-Wave Full-duplexing and MIMO Multi-beamforming Receiver Techniques for 5G and Beyond

    Creator:
    Garg, Robin
    Abstract:
    In recent years, the research community's interest in fully integrated mm-Wave wireless communication systems has increased significantly. With the standards for 5G NR now in place, the focus has shifted to actual deployment. Mm-Wave systems provide wider bandwidths, higher capacity, and lower latency than existing systems such as 4G. Higher...

  • Leveraging transformer encoder output for effective token summary in simultaneous translation

    Creator:
    Raffel, Matthew
    Abstract:
    Simultaneous speech-to-text translation remains a difficult yet important problem for modern machine learning models whereby a text translation is generated concurrently with receiving partial speech inputs. One state-of-the-art simultaneous speech-to-text model is the augmented memory transformer whose encoder breaks a speech input into fixed-size overlapping segments composed of left, right,...

  • Applications of Magnetic Materials in Soft Robotics

    Creator:
    Davis, William M.
    Abstract:
    Magnetic materials can be used in modern soft robotics as a method for external stimulus actuation and motion control. By combining aspects of biology and mechanics, devices are fabricated to create a structure capable of complex movement. Applications that these devices are subject to can be broken down into four...
