3D MEMS via (post-) buckling of micromachined structures and integration of bulk nanoporous elements in microfluidic devices
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
The last two decades have seen a proliferation of fields and applications where microtechnologies have gradually replaced, and often outperformed, their macroscopic counterparts. From engineering to basic sciences, ...
Resonant Raman scattering in graphene
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In this thesis we encounter the formulation of a rigorous theory of resonant Raman scattering in graphene, the calculation of the so-obtained Raman matrix element K2f,1o for the 2D Raman mode with the full inclusion of the ...
Leveraging social information systems : using blogs to inform technology strategy decisions
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
In the knowledge economy there is a need to develop new methods for processing Internet-based information to achieve growth. This is particularly applicable in complex systems where fact and perception of reality influence ...
Standardization of product development processes in multi-project organizations
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
An important question for a large company with multiple product development projects is how standard or varied the sets of activities it uses to conceive, design, and commercialize products should be across the organization. ...
Climate and energy policy for U.S. passenger vehicles : a technology-rich economic modeling and policy analysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2011)
Climate and energy security concerns have prompted policy action in the United States and abroad to reduce petroleum use and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions from passenger vehicles. Policy affects the decisions of firms and ...
