Biophysical modeling of neural computation at cell and network levels : three case studies
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 8/1/2024] In the following three case studies, we use mathematical modeling to explore neural computation at the cell and network levels. In the first case study, we explore how oscillatory rhythms -- found ... -
Characterization and applications of wide bandgap semiconductor materials
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Wide bandgap materials are potential candidates to revolutionize high-power electronics and optoelectronic devices due to their wide bandgap energy greater than 2 eV. Thus, there is a great necessity to research on these ... -
Deep learning bandgaps of topologically doped graphene
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)Manipulation of physical and chemical properties of materials via precise doping affords an extensive range of tunable phenomena to explore. Recent advance shows that in the atomic and nano scales topological states of ... -
Design of low-power RF energy harvester for IoT sensors
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Rapid technological advancement in CMOS technologies has resulted in increased deployment of low-power Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices. As batteries, used to power-up these devices, suffer from limited lifespan, powering ... -
Fabrication of clog-free microfluidic cell isolation and solid-state light-emitting devices for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)Over the past few decades, research and development on microfluidic devices, also referred to as lab-on-a-chip systems or microfluidic total analysis systems (TAS), have advanced quickly. There aren't many commercial success ... -
Impedance based MEMS sensor for monitoring time sensitive oocyte cryopreservation
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2018)[ACCESS RESTRICTED TO THE UNIVERSITY OF MISSOURI AT AUTHOR'S REQUEST.] In recent centuries, women in their 30s and 40s have represented an increasing portion of fertility patients who have had difficulties in fertilization. ... -
Kinematic assessment for stroke patients in a stroke game and a daily activity recognition and assessment system
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Stroke is the leading cause of serious, long-term disabilities among which deficits in motor abilities in arms or legs are most common. Those who suffer a stroke can recover through effective rehabilitation which is ... -
Optical and impedance based sensors for chemical/biological and foodborne pathogens applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)[EMBARGOED UNTIL 5/1/2025] An impedance based microfluidic biosensor for rapid simultaneous detection of different Salmonella serogroups in food product was investigated. Foodborne pathogens contamination in the United ... -
Power efficient machine learning-based hardware architectures for biomedical applications
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2023)The future of critical health diagnosis will involve intelligent and smart devices that are low-cost, wearable, and lightweight, requiring low-power, energy-efficient hardware platforms. Various machine learning models, ... -
Reliable and structural deep neural networks
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 2022)Deep neural networks have dominated a wide range of computer vision research recently. However, recent studies have shown that deep neural networks are sensitive to adversarial perturbations. The limitations of deep networks ... -
The role of variable cracking on agrichemical transport at the Missouri MSEA site using the root zone water quality model
(University of Missouri--Columbia, 1995)The objective of this study is to evaluate the effects of variable cracking on the transportation of agricultural chemicals at the Missouri MSEA site using the Root Zone Water Quality Model (The version of the RZWQM used ...
