Spring 2013
The sources of inducing field gradients and their implications are investigated inside the microfabricated post arrays. A parametric study is conducted to understand how the posts arrangements, distance, and size change the field and field gradients. The results provide criteria where the...

Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

Nanophotonic detection of nanomechanical structures for use toward mass sensing applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Nanomechanical beam resonators show much promise for use in integrated on-chip mass sensing systems. This follows from their own very small masses and also their ability to store the mechanical energy of their oscillations to produce strong measurable mechanical response signals. To achieve...

Fall 2009
Microcantilever sensor has gained much popularity because of its high sensitivity and selectivity. It consists of a micro-sized cantilever that is usually coated on one side with chemical/biological probe agents to generate strong attraction to target molecules. The interactions between the probe...

An examination of linking and blocking procedures for use in deflection cantilever array-based protein detection
DownloadFall 2011
In this project common linking and blocking procedures were examined for use in multiplexed deflection cantilever array-based detection of proteins. A human interferon gamma (INF-γ) enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was used to evaluate the effectiveness of the linking and blocking...
