Design of a power management unit for a wireless-power-transfer-enabled wireless sensor node by Luo, Hao

“…Moreover, the load-adaptive negative-resistance helps to boost the DC-gain of the proposed OCL-LDO while improving the current efficiency and ensuring fast-settling and frequency stability. Lastly, the compensator-less SRVM controller is meant to minimize power and area induced by discrete circuitries and components that build the compensator in a conventional DC-DC converter. …”

Light-matter interactions in atomically thin transition metal dichalcogenides by Zhao, Jiaxin

“…Following the carrier relaxation in the systems, the slow recovery process lasts for several tens of ps. By coherently superimposing monolayer exciton and cavity photons, when the system is in the strong coupling regime, the formation of exciton polaritons potentially harnesses the valley-polarized polariton-polariton interactions for novel valleytronic devices. …”

AI techniques in CFD: leveraging physical priors with deep learning to improve on numerical solvers by Loh, Jessica Sher En

“…Additionally, it extends the use of residual training to improve flow field prediction for a GNN scenario with immersed object, when low resolution data is available. Lastly, the third part aims to enhance flow predictions around complex geometries, which may often be deconstructed into multiple, simple bodies, by leveraging existing data on these single geometry flow fields. …”

Design and growth of high-power gallium nitride light-emitting diodes by Zhang, Zihui

“…We have also suggested InGaN/GaN LED devices with the electron overflow reduction through incorporating n-type InGaN layer and n-type AlGaN layer into the n-GaN layer, respectively, accompanied with which a mean-free-path model has been proposed and demonstrated to explain the mechanism of the electron overflow reduction through decreasing the electron mean free path. Lastly, as it has been mentioned previously, the low p-type conductivity in the InGaN/GaN LEDs has substantially limited the LED performance. …”

The effects of atmosphere-ocean-wave coupling during tropical cyclone by Garg, Nikhil

“…The coupling modifies the low-level boundary layer structure and the physical properties of near surface flow in TCs, which subsequently affects the physical mechanisms such as convective organisation. Lastly, it was shown that at the air-sea interface, there are a number of physical processes that can affect the TC. …”
