  • Investigating Time-Digital-Converters for Hardware Security in FPGAs

    Creator:
    Lytikov, Daniil
    Abstract:
    In this comprehensive thesis, we present a series of experiments and findings that highlight the critical importance of TDC Voltage Sensors in the hardware security domain. Our research begins by introducing a novel self-calibrating module, demonstrating its efficiency through preliminary calibration tests. We then delve into the Peak-to-Peak tests, which...

  • Program allocation for hypercube based dataflow systems

    Creator:
    Freytag, Vincent R.
    Abstract:
    The dataflow model of computation differs from the traditional control-flow model of computation in that it does not utilize a program counter to sequence instructions in a program. Instead, the execution of instructions is based solely on the availability of their operands. Thus, an instruction is executed in a dataflow...

  • Magnetic bead detection with ferromagnetic resonance for use in immuno-biosensor application

    Creator:
    Ghionea, Simon
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to introduce and demonstrate a novel magnetic bead detector based on inductive detection at the ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) frequency for use in bio-sensing applications. Detection ability is demonstrated through theoretical arguments, numerical computer simulations, and experimental characterization of micro-fabricated detectors. The detector is composed...

  • 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...

  • Effects of ultraviolet illumination and a parylene-A activation layer on the gas phase sensing characteristics of ZnO nanobridges

    Creator:
    Mason, Ashley D.
    Abstract:
    ZnO nanowires (NWs) are good candidates for chemical sensing because of their high surface-to-volume ratio. In this work, ZnO nanobridge sensors were fabricated utilizing a novel method which uses carbonized photoresist (C-PR) as a nucleation layer. The use of C-PR allows simultaneous growth and integration of NWs to lithographically-defined features....

  • Characterizing spin-orbit torques in β-W/Ta/CoFeB/MgO devices

    Creator:
    Allen, Shane R.
    Abstract:
    Materials with a strong spin Hall effect and Rashba-Edelstein effect have the potential to improve the efficiency of solid-state magnetic memory technologies and other magnetic logic devices. Heavy metals have been identified as having these properties, including the beta crystal phase of tungsten. In this work, we determine the strength...

    Creator:
    Barry, David G.
    Abstract:
    Massive Multiple-User Miltiple-Input Multiple-Output (MU-MIMO) wireless communication systems incorporate promising advanced strong technologies for upcoming 5G communications. To obtain some of the high spectrum and energy e ciencies bonuses brought by MU-MIMO systems, the ability to obtain Channel State information, especially on the receiver side (CSI), is important. To minimize...

  • Implementation and performance analysis of a scalable routing protocol

    Creator:
    Venkatesan, Rudhrakumar
    Abstract:
    Ad Hoc networks are multi-hop wireless networks consisting of mobile hosts. They do not have any pre-existing network infrastructure and are characterized by constantly changing topology, limited battery power and bandwidth. Typical applications of such networks are battlefield networks, medical relief during natural calamities or disasters, conference room networking, and...

  • On-chip crosstalk suppression schemes using magnetic films for RF/microwave applications

    Creator:
    Sligar, Arien
    Abstract:
    The primary objective of the thesis research is to study novel schemes of on-chip crosstalk suppression employing magnetic films at microwave frequencies. Since extraction of various material properties of the magnetic films is essential for successful application of the proposed method, the research also involves development of a new material...

    Reudink, Mark D.
    Abstract:
    Mercury cadmium telluride is important in the detection of electromagnetic radiation in the eight to twelve micron atmospheric window for infrared imaging systems. High resolution infrared imaging systems use either large (256x256 element to 1024x1024 element) staring arrays or much smaller (1-6 element) scanned arrays in which the image is...
