Fall 2010
We have developed several generations of high voltage (HV) integrated circuits that provide micro-scale platforms for lab-on-a-chip applications. This thesis presents novel HV devices and circuits that lead to further miniaturization and minimize the dependence on off-chip components. A...

Miniaturized genetic analysis systems based on microelectronic and microfluidic technologies
DownloadFall 2010
Genetic analysis is not widely used for disease diagnostics as it is costly and very labour/infrastructure intensive. We believe that by employing both microelectronic and microfabrication technologies, we are able to integrate multiple functionalities into a single, manufacturable, inexpensive...

Parallel-Node Low-Density Parity-Check Convolutional Code Encoder and Decoder Architectures
DownloadSpring 2010
We present novel architectures for parallel-node low-density parity-check convolutional code (PN-LDPC-CC) encoders and decoders. Based on a recently introduced implementation-aware class of LDPC-CCs, these encoders and decoders take advantage of increased node-parallelization to simultaneously...
