Optical Sensing Of Capillary Waves, Matthew Franklin Reid
Optical Sensing Of Capillary Waves, Matthew Franklin Reid
Honors College Theses
I relay various topics I learned about this semester and summarize the specialties of Clemson’s Micro-Photonics Laboratory. I report pertinent information for characterizing capillary waves with lasers and one recent method of characterizing them. Lastly, I outline a potential plan for mathematically modeling a laser’s reflection off of capillary waves, and potential plans moving forward.
Microwave Characterization Of Polymeric Microparticle Morphology, Gabriel D. Cutter
Microwave Characterization Of Polymeric Microparticle Morphology, Gabriel D. Cutter
Honors College Theses
Biological cell function and overall health are highly defined by the cell’s morphology. Sorting cells based on their shape is recently a major interest to the biomedical field for the future of medical treatments and health diagnostics. This work presents a new shape-based particle sorting technique using a novel microwave sensing system as a step toward biological cell sorting. The new sensing system consists of a grounded coplanar waveguide (GCPW) transmission line that simultaneously serves as a single-particle microfluidic channel and a microwave sensor, which is paired with a microwave interferometer to boost signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Polystyrene microspheres, a common …
