  • Bioelectronic Systems for Neurosensing Enabled by Graphene

    Creator:
    Fengel, Carly V.
    Abstract:
    Taking long-term electrical measurements of a large number of neurons simultaneously is required for many modern neuroscience experiments. However, such experiments are currently limited by the shortcomings of traditional neurosensing technology. For example, there is a significant mechanical mismatch between rigid silicon probes and soft biological tissues. This mismatch can...

  • Efficient Private Matching for Private Databases

    Creator:
    Trieu, Thi Ni Ni
    Abstract:
    Private matching (PM) is a key cryptographic primitive in secure computation that allows several parties to jointly compute some functions depending on their private inputs. Indeed, this primitive has many practical applications. For instance, in online advertising, two companies may wish to find their common customers for a joint marketing...

  • Interlayer Electronic Interactions in Twisted and Stacked Bilayer Graphene

    Creator:
    Patel, Hiral
    Abstract:
    The photophysical properties of two-dimensional (2D) layered van der Waals (vdW) materials, and their heterostructures are manifestly distinct from crystalline bulk materials. Recently, the discovery of new 2D vdW materials and strongly-bound interlayer excitons in these materials has created a new branch in nanoscience. As such, there are a number...

  • Immune radio architecture for platform interference

    Creator:
    Alban, Eduardo
    Abstract:
    The decrease of switching times accompanied by the corresponding increase of clock speeds and data rates, contributes to improve the overall system computational performance. At the same time, they also affect wireless communications due to an increment in the emissions of electromagnetic radiation on the radio bands. In this dissertation...

  • Study of creeping, inertial and turbulent flow regimes in porous media using particle image velocimetry

    Creator:
    Patil, Vishal A.
    Abstract:
    Porous media flows are encountered in many natural and man-made systems such as gas adsorption, filtration, heat exchangers, combustion, catalytic reactors and groundwater hydrology. This study experimentally investigates these flows as function of pore Reynolds number, Re[subscript pore]. The pore Reynolds number is based on the porous bed hydraulic diameter,...

  • Expediting the Generation and Analysis of Amorphous Oxide Computational Models: Modeling Complex Systems Swiftly

    Creator:
    Buchanan, Jacob C.
    Abstract:
    In this dissertation, the process of computational modeling of amorphous oxide materials is studied. Amorphous oxides have random atomic arrangements with no long-range structural order which makes it difficult to study structure-property relationships. Despite the difficulties, amorphous oxides have great uses as semiconductors and dielectrics in thin-film transistors. The ability...

  • Exchange interaction studies in magnetic semiconductors by neutron scattering

    Creator:
    Wiren, Zachary Quincy
    Abstract:
    Theories predict that making a dilute magnetic semiconductor strongly p -type would allow it to remain ferromagnetic at room temperature. This is of intrest as a ferromagnetic semiconductor would allow for a great many applications in the field of spintronics. Neutron scattering experiments were undertaken to better understand the antiferromagnetic...

  • Fabrication and geometrical characterization of metal and metal-dielectric composite periodic nanostructures

    Creator:
    Bhowmik, Siddhartha
    Abstract:
    Periodic metal and metal-dielectric composite nanostructures have been of interest from the field of plasmonics and metamaterial fabrication. In order to exploit the behavior of these unique materials in the visible region of the optical spectrum, these structures need to be significantly shorter than the wavelength of response, and hence...

  • Synthesis and catalytic applications of derivatives of 7,7'-dihydroxy-8,8'-biquinolyl (azaBINOL)

    Creator:
    Wang, Chao
    Abstract:
    The synthesis of axially chiral polyfunctional derivatives of 8,8'-biquinolyl was explored and the catalytic action of appropriate derivative types investigated in three separate processes: (1) the silylcyanation of carbonyl groups and imines, (2) alkylation of a glycine Schiff-base via phase transfer-catalysis, and (3) direct amide bond formation from simple amines...
