Engineering a perfusion-enabled mechanical compressor for long-duration immobilization and microscopy of cells and small organisms
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The study of living specimens is essential to the understanding of
organismal behavior. Unfortunately, a major difficulty in the study of
live organisms is that many move in and out of the field of view or
focal plane ...
Perturbation Theory for Thin Cladding Layers on Silicon Photonic Systems
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
I develop a perturbation theory for resonant frequency shifts caused by thin
layer of material added to dielectric systems. This development can be used
to effectively model photonic surface-sensing systems, which use ...

Developing High-Brightness Electron Beam Sources for Producing Quantum Degenerate Electron Beams
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
The Pauli Exclusion Principle places a fundamental limit on the brightness
of an electron beam. Developing a cathode which can reach this limit is
useful for achieving maximum operation in current applications of ...
Measuring Radial Velocities of Low Mass Eclipsing Binaries
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Due to the complex nature of the spectra of low-mass M type stars, it
is difficult to determine their metallicities and temperatures
directly. By studying eclipsing binary pairs comprising one F, G, or
K type star with ...
Finite-Element Analysis of Low-Power Laser Heating in Gold::Vanadium Dioxide Nanocomposites
(Vanderbilt University. Dept. of Physics and Astronomy, 2011-04)
Finite element modeling was performed using COMSOL Multiphysics to study the
thermal dynamics of gold::vanadium dioxide (VO$_{2}$) nanocomposites. These
simulations were done to understand the data from transient ...
