  • p-type transparent electronics

    Creator:
    Valencia, Melinda Marie
    Abstract:
    The objective of this thesis is to contribute to the development of p-type materials for transparent electronics applications. Thin films of ®-BaCu2S2, a p-type semi-transparent semiconductor, are fabricated and characterized. ®-BaCu2S2 has a transmittance of 60% to 80 % in the visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum. The mobility, conductivity,...

  • Modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors

    Creator:
    Spiegelberg, Matthew Craig
    Abstract:
    The primary focus of this thesis involves modeling and development of p-type thin-film transistors (p-TFTs), moving towards the realization of a filly transparent thin-film transistor (TTFT). The modeling portion of this thesis emphasizes the development of physics-based TFT models, specifically focusing on the elucidation of non-ideal current-voltage characteristic behavior. A...

  • Low-power high-performance 32-bit 0.5[u]m CMOS adder

    Creator:
    Shah, Parag Shantu
    Abstract:
    Currently, the two most critical factors of microprocessor design are performance and power. The optimum balance of these two factors is reflected in the speed-power product(SPP). 32-bit CMOS adders are used as representative circuits to investigate a method of reducing the SPP. The purpose of this thesis is to show...

  • The Effectiveness of Using Robotics for Career Technology Education in a Middle School STE(A)M Course

    Creator:
    Bodle, Ernie
    Abstract:
    Using robotics in education allows students to become familiar with multiple topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). With the use of robotic educational tools in the 8th – 12th grade classrooms, such as Sphero, Anki Cozmo, and Lego Mindstorms, few devices allow students to build the robots’ electrical...

  • Towards Pactive (Passive + Active) Sensing for Security Applications

    Creator:
    Menon, Arya
    Abstract:
    Increasing threats of terrorism and contraband smuggling have led to a growing interest in millimeter wave/ THz security sensors. Recently, systems combining active and passive sensing into one unit have been proposed where the active mode provides information on range and reflectivity, and the passive mode complements the active by...

  • New hardware algorithms and designs for Montgomery modular inverse computation in Galois Fields GF(p) and GF(2 [superscript n])

    Creator:
    Gutub, Adnan Abdul-Aziz
    Abstract:
    The computation of the inverse of a number in finite fields, namely Galois Fields GF(p) or GF(2ⁿ), is one of the most complex arithmetic operations in cryptographic applications. In this work, we investigate the GF(p) inversion and present several phases in the design of efficient hardware implementations to compute the...

  • Adiabatic Markov Decision Process : convergence of value iteration algorithm

    Creator:
    Duong, Thai
    Abstract:
    Markov Decision Process (MDP) is a well-known framework for devising the optimal decision making strategies under uncertainty. Typically, the decision maker assumes a stationary environment which is characterized by a time-invariant transition probability matrix. However, in many real-world scenarios, this assumption is not justified, thus the optimal strategy might not...

  • Channel Estimation, Modulation Techniques and Decoding Algorithms for Hybrid WiFi-FSO (WiFO) WLAN of Femtocells

    Creator:
    Chu, Yu-Jung
    Abstract:
    Due to the limitation of the radio frequency (RF) spectrum, it is increasingly more difficult to support billions of wireless devices in the age of Internet-of-Things. Consequently, many recent wireless indoor communication systems have been developed using free space optical (FSO) communication technologies that exploit the extremely large light spectrum...

  • Adversarial planning by strategy switching in a real-time strategy game

    Creator:
    King, Brian D.
    Abstract:
    We consider the problem of strategic adversarial planning in a Real-Time Strategy (RTS) game. Strategic adversarial planning is the generation of a network of high-level tasks to satisfy goals while anticipating an adversary's actions. In this thesis we describe an abstract state and action space used for planning in an...
