Investigations into high resolution imaging and contouring for diagnostic bio-applications by Valiyambath, Krishnan Mohankumar

“…Depending on the organ being assessed, a variety of diagnostics tools are presently available to detect abnormal state of the tissue, with each technique having its own set of advantages and disadvantages. Of these, currently, only endoscopy provides a possibility of abnormality detection based on direct tissue imaging and visual differentiation in body cavities such as colon. …”

Understanding lived experiences of bereaved parents of children with chronic life-threatening Illness : towards a culture-specific and meaning-oriented narrative E-writing interven... by Dutta, Oindrila

“…The research highlights both the cross-cultural commonalities and differences in the experiential narratives of grieving parents, as well as attests to the efficacy of a therapist-facilitated e-counseling platform that integrates meaning-focused and strength-based narrative writing intervention for enhancing the psycho-socio-spiritual well-being of parent-caregivers facing anticipatory grief. …”

Investigations into femtosecond laser hybrid manufacturing for 3D power sources by Tham, Nicholas Cheng Yang

“…An analytical temperature model is developed to predict the temperature rise induced by impinging femtosecond pulses in a material’s cross-section. This model considers laser parameters and changing material properties with temperature. …”

Studies on GaN based HEMT heterostructures on 100-mm silicon grown by molecular beam epitaxy by Ravikiran Lingaparthi

“…Increased relaxation of 2nd GaN with high compressive bow indicates that the stress mitigation from GaN to Si is higher for the heterostructure grown using AlGaN/AlN/GaN SMLs compared to AlN/GaN SMLs. Using cross sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM) analysis, bending and looping of dislocation at AlGaN/2nd AlN and AlGaN/2nd GaN interfaces was attributed to the high relaxation of 2nd GaN. …”
