  • 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...

  • 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...

  • Plasma-Jet Printing and In Situ Sintering of Electronic Materials for Flexible Hybrid Electronic Applications

    Creator:
    Manzi, Jacob
    Abstract:
    Additive manufacturing has become a promising method for the fabrication of inexpensive, green, flexible sensors and electronics. Printed electronics on low- temperature substrates are very appealing for the flexible hybrid electronics market for their use in disposable and biocompatible electronic applications and in areas like packaging, wearables, and consumer electronics....

  • Learning algorithms for adapting the compliance of robotic limbs

    Creator:
    Aboufazeli, Mahtab
    Abstract:
    Motivation: Many robots such as legged robots and prosthetic hands/arms are designed to interact with uncertain and time-varying environments to accomplish their tasks. Observations on humans and animals during their daily tasks suggest that they adapt their leg compliance while traversing with different velocities on different grounds and adjust their...

  • Power system reliability and power quality assessments with grid-connected wave energy converters

    Creator:
    Boller, Michael D.
    Abstract:
    Generating abundant, renewable energy from Earth’s oceans is an attractive option for meeting increasing energy demand. Marine renewable energy also comes with the variability of renewable sources, which impact the reliability and power quality of the electrical grid. On a transmission-level, this dissertation looks at ensuring reliability of the power...

  • Machine learning for computer architecture design and optimization

    Creator:
    Penney, Drew
    Abstract:
    Machine learning applied to computer architecture has rapidly transitioned from a theoretical novelty to being a driving force behind design, control, and simulation in practically all components. These machine-learning-based methodologies are further notable for their scalability to increasingly complex design challenges, which has allowed these methodologies to surpass the prior...

  • Secrecy of massive MIMO systems under antenna failure

    Creator:
    Assiri, Mohammad
    Abstract:
    As the fifth generation of mobile communication systems (5G) is being deployed, massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) serves as one of its enabling technologies where reliable and ultra low latency communications are achieved while being power and spectrum efficient. This thesis studies the security aspect of massive MIMO system from the...

  • 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...

  • Environment-adaptive RF Sensing with Transferable ANN Features

    Creator:
    Wang, Guangxin
    Abstract:
    Radio frequency (RF) sensing arises as a promising option for enabling the internet of things (IoT) applications that transform our life into a world of smart homes, smart cities, and smart industries. The innovation of IoT reveals the benefits of RF sensing across cost, pervasiveness, unobtrusiveness, and privacy. However, challenges...

  • Implementation of Distributed Localized Communications

    Creator:
    Snyder, Thomas
    Abstract:
    Artificial collectives are useful for accomplishing tasks that require teamwork from multiple simple robots. Multiple robot and collective testbeds have been developed, yet none stay committed to leverage the local interactions, group size, and imperfect information assumptions that strengthen biological collectives. A review of the collective and multiple robot literature,...
