Spring 2014
Energy harvesting is an important developing field in Microelectromechanical Systems (MEMS) research. In this thesis, a fixed-fixed folded spring-based harvester is presented as an alternative mechanical element for beam-based piezoelectric harvesters to reduce its natural frequency for low...

Spring 2016
The study of methanogenesis in wastewater biofilms and various aggregated methanogenic environmental samples with high spatial resolution can be achieved by using microbiosensor techniques. In this study, the fabrication of a microbiosensor for methane detection was studied. This microbiosensor...

An Investigation of Using n-Si Piezoresistive Behavior to Develop a Three-Dimensional Stress Sensing Rosette
DownloadFall 2013
This work involves the design, microfabrication, calibration, and testing of a new silicon-based piezoresistive rosette capable of extracting the three-dimensional (3D) stresses in the silicon upon deformation. A new 10-element piezoresistive rosette was devised to extract all stress components...

Antimicrobial applications of treatments using light pulses emitted from light emitting diodes (LED)
DownloadSpring 2022
Low water activity (aw) foods have been associated with several foodborne outbreaks and recalls. Eradication of foodborne microorganisms like Salmonella and Escherichia coli from low aw foods is challenging, as they are resistant to conventional decontamination practices. High intensity light...

Spring 2017
One of the central puzzles concerning the interaction of low Reynolds number (Re<<1) fluid transport with bacterial biomass is the formation of filamentous structures called bacterial streamer. Bacterial streamers can be tethered at one or both ends to solid surfaces, while the rest of the...

Fall 2010
Electro-transmittance of molecular junctions was characterized electrically and studied optically at 410nm and 532nm. Between 1kHz and 100kHz there was no qualitative difference between the control samples and the molecular junction samples, however there were difficulties with reproducibility of...

Design and Microfabrication of Robust and Highly Integrated Thermal Lab-On-A-Chip Polymeric Systems for Genetic Diagnosis
DownloadSpring 2014
The lab-on-chip (LOC) technology could transform and greatly enhance the health care system by making genetic diagnosis tests fast, accurate and readily accessible. However, most LOC systems are not prepared to resist variations of their external environment, as they depend upon many...

Determination of biokinetic parameters of wastewater biofilms from oxygen concentration profiles
DownloadFall 2011
The process of scale-up and rational optimization of biofilm processes for effective wastewater treatment and reuse require better understanding of the biokinetic behavior of microorganisms in the biofilms. At present, no fast and accurate methods exist for determining kinetic parameters for...

Development of a Multisectorial Electroactive Nanowell Platform for Selective Single-Cell Sorting and Quantification
DownloadSpring 2022
The rapid isolation of specific rare target cells is of rising importance in current targeted patient treatment plans. Common cell sorting approaches such as stream-based dielectrophoresis (DEP) based cell sorters are limited by their spatial dimensions as only a number of cell types...
