In this thesis, I perform intensity-based tomographic phase imaging in two ways. First, I utilize the paraxial transport of intensity equation (TIE) to construct phase maps of a phase object at multiple projection angles ...

Service learning, an educational method that involves the application of academic work to projects that benefit under-served communities, was explored in two complementary forms. First, the development of an alternative ...

(cont.) The second concept, eDarts, involved incorporating a capacitor powered micro-circuit and LED into foam darts similar to those used in the current line of Nerf® products. The eDarts created a tracer shot or laser ...

Enhanced oil recovery (EOR) through carbon dioxide (CO₂) sequestration from anthropogenic sources has been gaining attention in policy circles. In particular, it is viewed as a potential way to help accelerate the deployment ...

Two-photon excitation fluorescence microscopy has capability of deep tissue imaging with biological samples. However, because of the inhomogeneity of the refractive index in biological samples, the wavefront of the excitation ...

We investigated the extensional properties of wheat flour dough on the Filament Stretching Rheometer (FISER), in which the sample approaches uniform uni-axial extension flow at a constant strain rate over a large portion ...

Atherosclerosis causes heterogeneous remodeling of arterial structure and composition in the carotid vessel wall. It has been shown that the progression of the disease can be monitored by tracking changes in the carotid ...
