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...

A Study on Phase Change Materials at Low Thermal Mass with Micro-Electro-Mechanical Resonators
DownloadSpring 2020
Micro-electromechanical systems or MEMS is a modern technology used to create tiny, integrated devices or systems that combine mechanical and electrical components. These miniaturized devices can sense, control and actuate on the micro and nano scales, and generate observable effects on the macro...

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...

Fall 2011
High aspect ratio microelectromechanical structures have been found, in the literature, to collapse due to capillary forces of liquids. In this dissertation, mathematical models are developed to study (i) the collapse of a microstructure represented by a double cantilevered beam (DCB) with a free...

Carbon-on-Gold Films and Spontaneous Adsorption of Aryldiazonium Salts for Surface Plasmon Resonance Sensing
DownloadFall 2021
Over the past decades, surface plasmon resonance (SPR) technology has gained popularity as a powerful analytical technique for the study of biomolecular interactions and medical diagnostics. This is made possible thanks to the well-established gold-thiolate chemistry. However, the limited...

Combination of AC electrothermal and Dielectrophoresis realized by 3D Electrodes to Concentrate Particles
Download2022-06-01
Fathy, Jino, Wang, Ziying, Lai, Yongjun
In this paper, a particle microconcentrator is designed and simulated that works by combining the AC electrothermal (ACET) and Dielectrophoresis (DEP) forces. The microconcentrator consists of a PMMA channel with copper electrodes on the walls and bottom of the channel. On each side of the...
