As surgery has become the standard-of-care for cancer, surgeons have been left underequipped to identify tumors in the operating room, causing many operations to end in positive margins and necessitating secondary treatments ...

In this thesis, a framework for cavity and waveguide quantum electrodynamic (CQED, and WQED, respectively) problems is presented. The essence of this framework is to use the dyadic Green's function (DGF) to obtain the local ...

Biological mechanisms are embraced in mobile robots to interact with their surroundings. Although current bio-inspired robots perform well, their performance is limited due to the lack of a flexible spine. A spine provides ...

This dissertation proposes a hierarchy of microgrid models that can be utilized for power system analysis and control design purposes. The microgrid models are classified according to time resolution and, consequently, ...

Magnetic resonance spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) enables in-vivo analysis of the spatial distribution of chemicals within the human body. Through MRSI, one can infer the concentration of various metabolites in different ...
