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.

Spring 2014
This thesis presents the realization and characterization of passive and active photonic and nanoplasmonic waveguides for applications in all-optical circuitry. The key results focus on generating visible light in nanoscale silicon waveguides through nonlinear interactions and demonstrating...

Spring 2019
Percutaneous procedures, those involving the insertion of needles into tissue, encompass a wide array of clinical applications and are used in both therapeutic and diagnostic modalities. In either of these modalities, the needle must be steered accurately towards a target location to maximize the...

Spring 2012
Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) was used to fabricate nanostructured TiO$_2$ capacitive relative humidity (RH) sensors. These sensors exhibit sub-second response times and large sensitivities, but are susceptible to ageing. Ultraviolet (UV) treatment of the sensors has been found to reverse...

Fall 2017
Today, conventional power systems are evolving into modern smart grids, where interconnected microgrids may dominate the distribution system with high penetration of renewable energies and storage elements (SEs). The hybrid AC/DC systems with DC and AC sources/loads are considered to be the most...
