Integrated Diamond Networks for Quantum Nanophotonics
(American Chemical Society (ACS), 2012)We demonstrate an integrated nanophotonic network in diamond, consisting of a ring resonator coupled to an optical waveguide with grating in- and outcouplers. Using a nitrogen-vacancy color center embedded inside the ring ... -
Integrated filters for the on-chip silicon photonics platform
(2013-10-15)We investigate the properties of integrated dielectric filters for the purposes of on-chip routing of photons. We started with the use of high quality factor tunable photonic crystal nanobeam cavities and moving on to ... -
Integrated genetic and pharmacologic interrogation of rare cancers
(Nature Publishing Group, 2016)Identifying therapeutic targets in rare cancers remains challenging due to the paucity of established models to perform preclinical studies. As a proof-of-concept, we developed a patient-derived cancer cell line, CLF-PED-015-T, ... -
Integrated lithium niobate photonics and applications
(2022-05-16)The past decade has witnessed a surge in research of photonic integrated circuits (PICs). Novel devices, modules, and system architectures have been realized on several integrated photonics platforms including silicon, ... -
Integrated Metamaterials and Nanophotonics in CMOS-Compatible Materials
(2016-09-13)This thesis explores scalable nanophotonic devices in integrated, CMOS-compatible platforms. Our investigation focuses on two main projects: studying the material properties of integrated titanium dioxide (TiO2), and ... -
Integrated multi-input interventions to promote child growth and development in low-resource settings: building a supportive and enabling caregiver environment
(2021-05-12)In low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), 21% of children years of age are stunted and 43% are not developmentally on track. To reach their full growth and developmental potential, children require multiple health, ... -
Integrated Nanoscale Tools for Interrogating Living Cells
(2015-05-13)The development of next-generation, nanoscale technologies that interface biological systems will pave the way towards new understanding of such complex systems. Nanowires – one-dimensional nanoscale structures – have shown ... -
Integrated Stimuli-Responsive Functionalities: From Bioseparation to Dynamic Optics
(2016-05-04)Nature demonstrates the efficiency of hierarchically integrated components that work in cooperation to produce a variety of useful phenomena in organisms, such as movement or shape change. A key feature of these components ... -
Integrated Summer Insolation Forcing and 40,000-Year Glacial Cycles: The Perspective from an Ice-Sheet/Energy-Balance Model
(American Geophysical Union, 2008)Although the origins of the 40,000-year glacial cycles during the early Pleistocene are readily attributed to changes in Earth's obliquity (also having a 40,000-year period), the lack of ice-volume variability at precession ... -

Integrated Tree-Ring-Radiocarbon High-Resolution Timeframe to Resolve Earlier Second Millennium BCE Mesopotamian Chronology
(Public Library of Science, 2016)500 years of ancient Near Eastern history from the earlier second millennium BCE, including such pivotal figures as Hammurabi of Babylon, Šamši-Adad I (who conquered Aššur) and Zimrilim of Mari, has long floated in calendar ... -
Integrated X-Ray-Scattering Intensity Measurement of the Order Parameter at the Nematic-to-Smectic-A Phase Transition
(American Physical Society, 1985)The temperature dependence of the square of the smectic order parameter, \(\mid \psi \mid^2\), was determined from the integrated x-ray scattering intensity. The data are described very well by the form \(I(t)/I(0)=1 \mp ... -
Integrated Zero-Index Metamaterials
(2016-09-13)Nanotechnology has enabled the development of nanostructured composite materials (metamaterials) with exotic optical properties not found in nature. In the most extreme case, we can create materials that support light waves ... -
Integrating Ancient and Modern DNA To Study Human History in South Asia and the Americas
(2020-09-10)In the last two decades, advances in next-generation sequencing, genome-wide genotyping arrays, and methods to obtain DNA from ancient individuals have propelled the field of population genetics such that it is now an ... -
Integrating Electronics and Microfluidics on Paper
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2016)The fields of paper microfluidics and printed electronics have developed independently, and are incompatible in many of their aspects (e.g. printed electronic thin films are not designed to tolerate the flows of liquids, ... -
