Top-Orthogonal-to-Bottom-Electrode Capacitive Micromachined Ultrasound Transducers for Low-Cost 3D Ultrasound Imaging
DownloadFall 2013
Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) offer a promising solution for three-dimensional ultrasound imaging due to their ability to be easily fabricated in two-dimensional arrays. However, channel routing is still non-trivial and cost-intensive. The subject of this thesis is a...

Towards Clinical Testing of Intraspinal Microstimulation for Restoration of Walking after Spinal Cord Injury
DownloadSpring 2019
The overall goal of this thesis was to advance intraspinal microstimulation (ISMS) towards clinical testing for the purpose of restoring walking after spinal cord injury. ISMS implants focus on restoring mobility after spinal cord injury by activating the intact spinal motor networks below the...

Transparent transducers and fast electronics for next-generation ultrasound and photoacoustic imaging
DownloadSpring 2022
Most ultrasound transducers are opaque. Transparent transducers could lead to novel applications, including combined optical and ultrasound imaging, photoacoustic imaging and other multi-modality systems. This thesis introduces transparent capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers and...
