SUMMARY:Priyangshu Sen's PhD Dissertation Defense
DESCRIPTION:Location: ISEC 532 \n“Physical Layer Design for Ultrabroadband Terahertz Communications: From Theory to Experiments” \nAbstract: \nTerahertz (THz)-band (0.1 THz to 10 THz) communication is envisioned as a key technology to meet the demand for faster\, more ubiquitous wireless communication networks for the sixth generation (6G) of wireless systems and beyond. For many years\, the lack of compact\, fast and efficient ways to generate\, modulate\, detect and demodulate THz signals has limited the feasibility of such communication systems. Recent progress within different device technologies is finally closing the terahertz technology gap and enabling\, for the first time\, experimental wireless research in the THz band. \nThis thesis presents the first steps towards advancing the development and bridging the gap between theoretical and experimental THz communication research. At the core of this work\, the TeraNova platform\, i.e\, the first testbed for ultra-broadband wireless communications at THz frequencies in the world\, is designed and built. In terms of hardware\, the platform consists of multiple sets of analog front-ends at three different frequencies between 100 GHz and 1.05 THz and three different digital signal processing back-ends\, able to manipulate tens of GHz of bandwidth. In terms of software\, tailored framing\, time synchronization\, channel estimation\, and single and multi-carrier modulation techniques are implemented in guided by the experimental characterization of the THz hardware and the THz channel. Moreover\, implementation details and early experimental results to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities/limitations are reported. The platform is then used to demonstrate several milestones in the field\, including the first true THz link in the first absorption-defined window above 1 THz (i.e.\, 1-1.05 THz) and the longest multi-kilometer link (2.01 Km) at the 200-240 GHz band. Further\, Knowing the peculiarities of the THz band and the available device technology in the frequency range\, innovative solutions are proposed. Based on the observed behaviors\, M-ary amplitude and phase-shift keying is presented to simultaneously overcome the limitations due to peak to average power ratio (PAPR) and reduce the effective symbol error rate (SER)\, both while using a high-order modulation scheme. Based on the unique molecular absorption at THz frequencies\, two innovative modulation schemes are presented to make the most of the THz channel. First\, to not only overcome but exploit the distance-dependent bandwidth of the THz band\, hierarchical bandwidth modulations are proposed as a suitable candidate for a single transmitter and multiple receiver (STMR) system. Second\, to reliably communicate even in the presence of absorption peaks\, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) based communication is investigated. Specifically\, Chirp-Spread Binary Phase-Shift Keying (CS-BPSK) is proposed over traditional Binary Chirp Spread Spectrum (BCSS) to obtain better BER. Moreover\, beyond the physics\, current spectrum allocations break down the otherwise very large bands into narrow sub-sets to accommodate sensing users. Spectrum sharing is needed to make the most out of the spectral resources. Therefore\, the capability of the direct sequence spread spectrum (DSSS) is explored to illustrate the performance by acknowledging the coexistence between active and passive users. Further\, channel sounding is conducted in diverse indoor and outdoor scenarios to understand the channel statistics and design reliable communication links. As the last contribution in this dissertation\, the channel model and statistics are explored for an ultra-broadband outdoor channel in different weather conditions. Further\, the channel metrics are explored in various indoor scenarios with different structural and geometrical aspects\, occupancy\, and antenna gain at 130 GHz. For this purpose\, a fully tailored signal processing back-end for sliding correlator type channel sounder is developed\, which is capable of capturing multipath profiles to describe the ultra-broadband nature of the link. \nIn a nutshell\, this dissertation presents the technologies and the results\, highlights the challenges\, and defines a path to move forward with innovative solutions toward practical THz ultra-broadband and long-distance communication systems. \nCommittee: \nProf. Josep Jornet (Advisor) \nProf. Tommaso Melodia \nProf. Milica Stojanovic \nProf. Kaushik Chowdhury

On-chip microspherical glass shells (MSG) of hundreds of micrometers in diameter with ultra-smooth surfaces and sub-micrometer wall thicknesses have been fabricated and have been shown to sustain optical whispering gallery mode resonance with high Q-factors of greater than 25 million. These resonators exhibit a temperature sensitivity of 1.17 GHz K−1 and can be configured as ultra-high-sensitivity thermal sensors for a wide range of applications. \nWe demonstrate a thermal infrared (IR) detector based on a high-quality factor (Q) whispering gallery mode (WGM) borosilicate glass microspherical shell resonator and investigate its performance in detecting IR radiation in the wavelength range of 1 –20 μ m. The resonator exhibits a temperature sensitivity of 1.17 GHz/K with a Q-factor of 3 million and can be configured as a high-sensitivity infrared sensor. The microspherical shell IR sensor achieved a noise-equivalent power (NEP) of 944.89 pW/√Hz experimentally. A laser Doppler vibrometer (LDV) is used to measure the physical expansion of the microspherical glass resonator when IR radiation is absorbed. A dimensional change of ≈100 fm is shown to be resolved. \nA comparison of two calorimetric biosensing systems with relatively high-throughput sample analysis is also reported. The calorimetric biosensor system compared are a thin (20 μm) micro-machined Y-cut quartz crystal resonator (QCR) and a MSG (6 μm thick) Whispering Gallery Mode (WGM) resonator as a temperature sensor placed close to a chemical reaction chamber with the immobilized enzyme. The enzymes (urease and glucose oxidase) were immobilized on superparamagnetic nanoparticles using covalent bonding. This configuration enables a sensing system where the reaction chamber is physically separated from the analyte solution of interest and thereby free from fouling effects typically associated with biochemical reactions occurring on the sensor surface. The performance of this biosensing system is compared by the detection of 0-250 mM urea and glucose in phosphate buffer. \nFurther\, we present MSG WGM resonator-based thermal sensor array which is configured with a 3D printed reaction chamber that utilizes the backside silicon of the resonator for sensitive calorimetric biosensing applications. The coupling of heat from the reaction chamber to the WGM resonator is achieved via conduction from the analyte medium. The sensor was aligned to the opening of the 3D-printed reaction chamber\, and the device was mounted using a thermo-elastic epoxy. This sensor configuration allows for a very robust sensing platform with no fouling of the sensor surface or degradation in its performance metrics. Resonance frequency tracking using the Pound-Drever- Hall locking method was used for enzymatic activity measurements. Results of the catalytic reaction of glucose with glucose oxidase and the hydrolysis reaction of urea by urease are reported. In addition\, body fluids such as blood plasma\, serum\, and blister fluid are tested\, which match very well with the experimental results. From the analysis of the signal-to-noise ratio of the glucose sensor\, a resolution of 100 nM could be obtained\, improving the detection limit by a factor of 10\,000 compared to QCR sensors. \nCommittee: \nProf. Srinivas Tadigadapa (Advisor) \nProf. Matteo Rinaldi \nProf. Yongmin Liu \nProf. Rosemary Smith

SUMMARY:Catalytic treatment of water contaminated with halogenated hydrocarbons
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: \nUmit Ozkan\, Chair & University Distinguished Professor \nDepartment of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering\, Ohio State University \nAbstract:  \nGroundwater contamination by halogenated compounds such as trichloroethylene (TCE) is an environmental concern due to their high level of toxicity and their potential impact on drinking water. Hydrogenation of chlorinated compounds offers an efficient and cost-effective way of decontaminating groundwater since it eliminates the chlorinated compounds by catalytically converting them to hydrocarbons and hydrogen chloride. Although promising conversions have been obtained with the palladium-based state-the-art catalysts\, slow kinetics at low temperatures and low concentrations as well as deactivation due to reduced sulfur and chlorine species (SO42-\, HS–\, Cl–) are still recurring problems. To overcome these issues\, we are using a newly-developed material\, a swellable organically modified silica (SOMS) as a catalyst scaffold. SOMS is a very hydrophobic material\, but it has a very high affinity for organics.  These characteristics allow the organic contaminants to concentrate inside the pores\, near the active sites\, hence helping the kinetics. Hydrophobicity serves as a deterrent to deactivation by keeping the water-dissolved poisons away from the active sites.  Activity measurements performed in liquid and gas phases as well as catalyst characterization results will be presented. \nBiography: \nUmit S. Ozkan is a Distinguished University Professor and a College of Engineering Distinguished Professor at The Ohio State University.  She received her Ph.D from Iowa State University in 1984 and joined the faculty of The Ohio State University in 1985.

SUMMARY:A Research Journey Probing Polymer/Ionomer Composition\, Morphology\, Property\, and Function Relationships to Create Advanced Membranes
DESCRIPTION:ChE Seminar Series Presents: Chris J. Cornelius\nProfessor and Chair\, Department of Materials Science and Engineering\nIowa State University \nAbstract: \nStructure\, property\, and function relationships must be coupled to theory and prior art to design new materials. Controlling polymer chain motion\, swelling\, and functional group distribution is critical to selective molecule transport. A dichotomy exists between selective molecule transport\, ion conductivity\, and physical properties characterized by a property trade-off. Deviations are associated with composition\, morphology\, mass transfer limitations\, and system design efficiency. For example\, membrane materials for gas separation are needed at elevated temperatures in aggressive environments requiring greater chemical and physical stability. Nanocomposite organic-inorganic materials can potentially address these requirements by combining the processibility of organic polymers with the separation characteristics of inorganic molecular sieves. Ion and water transport in a proton-exchange membrane (PEM) and anion-exchange membrane (AEM) are essential to its performance. Numerous PEM and AEM synthetic efforts have sought to improve their transport\, brittle properties when dry\, and wet-film durability issues. These areas impact device performance that are key design considerations of new materials. Fundamental science is essential in the creation of new knowledge and transformative technologies. However\, understanding and controlling material assembly is a cornerstone of material science. The focus of this talk will be a general overview examining material type and organizational structure in multiple systems. \nBiography: \nChris Cornelius is the Dr. Thomas D. McGee and Dr. Ick-Jhin Rick Yoon Endowed Department Chair in Materials Science and Engineering (MSE) at Iowa State University (ISU). Prior to ISU\, he was a Chemical Engineering faculty member at the University of Connecticut (UCONN) and the University of Nebraska-Lincoln (UNL). At UNL\, he was the Associate Dean for Research (2014-2016) and Mid-America Transportation Center (MATC) Diversity Coordinator (2015-2020). In these roles\, he was involved in hiring 55 new faculty and worked with the Nebraska Commission on Indian Affairs\, teaching leadership skills and STEM possibilities through a Sovereign Native Youth STEM Leadership Academy and after-school science program. At Virginia Tech (VT)\, he was its inaugural Associate Director for Research (ADR) for the Institute for Critical Technology and Applied Science (ICTAS)\, managing a $180 MM institute comprised of three research buildings and Technical Director (TD) of the VT Center for Naval Systems (CNavS) from 2008 to 2010. As TD for CNavS\, he won and administered $13 MM Indefinite Delivery Indefinite Quantity (IDIQ) contracts with the Naval Surface Warfare Centers\, John Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory\, and Marine Corps System Command. Before academia\, he was a Research Engineer with Dow Plastics running a pilot plant creating metallocene-based polyolefins and ethylene-propylene-diene elastomers for DuPont\, a Process Engineer at 3M managing a multimillion-dollar non-woven respirator mask production line\, and a staff scientist at Sandia National Laboratories developing ionomers\, fuel cells\, and gas separation materials. Dr. Cornelius’s research explores fundamental relationships between structure\, properties\, transport\, and function using synthetic polymers\, charged polymers\, hybrid organic-inorganic materials\, and sol-gel-derived inorganic glasses. He is an Editor for the Journal of Materials Science and uses his career experiences to champion diversity and increase the number of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines.
