This decommissioned ERA site remains active temporarily to support our final migration steps to https://ualberta.scholaris.ca, ERA's new home. All new collections and items, including Spring 2025 theses, are at that site. For assistance, please contact erahelp@ualberta.ca.
Theses and Dissertations
This collection contains theses and dissertations of graduate students of the University of Alberta. The collection contains a very large number of theses electronically available that were granted from 1947 to 2009, 90% of theses granted from 2009-2014, and 100% of theses granted from April 2014 to the present (as long as the theses are not under temporary embargo by agreement with the Faculty of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies). IMPORTANT NOTE: To conduct a comprehensive search of all UofA theses granted and in University of Alberta Libraries collections, search the library catalogue at www.library.ualberta.ca - you may search by Author, Title, Keyword, or search by Department.
To retrieve all theses and dissertations associated with a specific department from the library catalogue, choose 'Advanced' and keyword search "university of alberta dept of english" OR "university of alberta department of english" (for example). Past graduates who wish to have their thesis or dissertation added to this collection can contact us at erahelp@ualberta.ca.

Design of Low-Profile Multi-Band Microwave Antennas and Components Using Metamaterial-Based Electromagnetic Bandgap Structures
DownloadSpring 2023
This thesis investigates applications of metamaterial-based electromagnetic bandgap structures, or MTM-EBGs. MTM-EBGs are uniplanar, compact, and often fully printable, making them ideal candidates for integration into planar topologies. This differs from many other metamaterial-based structures...

Metamaterials are artificially engineered materials with tailored properties for applications in imaging, sensing, waveguiding and quantum optics. Even though they hold the potential for transformative impact, industrial applications have been impeded by large absorption losses in material...

Phase Change Metamaterials for Fiber and Waveguide Integrated Compact Modulators with Built in Memory Functionality
DownloadFall 2023
Machine learning focuses on the development of algorithms and models that enable a dynamic approach to making predictions or decisions on large data-sets which cannot be readily described by analytical models. Artificial neural networks (ANN) have become the main approach to providing advance...

Theory and Applications of a Uniplanar Transmission-Line Metamaterial-Inspired Electromagnetic Bandgap Structure
DownloadFall 2015
A multitude of planar electromagnetic bandgap structures (EBGs) have been proposed for the suppression of parallel-plate waveguide (PPW) and surface-wave (SW) modes at microwave frequencies. Some of these structures have been well-modelled with transmission-line theory, however, these structures...
