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...

Design and Fabrication of Micro-electro-mechanical Systems Actuators for Application in External Cavity Tunable Lasers
DownloadFall 2014
The limited availability of rugged and economical infra-red laser sources that can be tuned over a certain wavelength range is still a bottleneck for widespread application of spectroscopic methods to environmental, industrial, and medical trace gas monitoring. Conventional semiconductor lasers...

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...

Fall 2017
Capacitive micromachined ultrasound transducers (CMUTs) are a promising replacement technology for piezoelectric composite transducers, as they offer a more flexible architecture, wider signal bandwidth, and improved impedance matching between the sensor and the sensing medium. While CMUTs have...

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...
