Photonic technique such as the whispering gallery mode (WGM) is often used for detection of small particles like bacteria and viruses. It offers good detection sensitivity and is advantageous over other detection techniques because the detection can be label free. However, the detection ... Read More
The thermoelectric response of a nanoscale device can be characterized by measuring either the open-circuit thermovoltage or the closed-circuit thermocurrent. While theoretically equivalent through the device's conductance, the thermocurrent measurement offers significant practical ... Read More
Ongoing studies by the US Army Engineer Research and Development Center (ERDC) are investigating infrasound as a means of persistent monitoring and scour detection at bridges through analysis of the frequency change of the structure caused by altered boundary conditions. Bridges ... Read More
Lithium plating on the graphite anode is a significant factor contributing to the degradation of cell capacity, initiation of internal short circuits, and escalation of thermal runaway in lithium-ion batteries. Non-intrusive detection methods for lithium plating are critical for the safe ... Read More
Quasi-static 2D-MEMS vector scanners are micro-opto-electro-mechanical systems (MOEMS) made of monocrystalline silicon. The primary application for these controllable micromirrors is the high dynamic and precise deflection of laser beams, for example in light detection and ranging ... Read More
Accurate, real-time measurement of arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO₂) is essential for managing respiratory diseases and critical care conditions. Traditional arterial blood sampling for PaO₂ is invasive, painful, and provides intermittent snapshots rather than continuous ... Read More
In this project, we attempted to determine the drug concentration in a breast cancer tumor after a drug has been delivered. We created a COMSOL Multiphysics® finite element model. We investigated the relationship between drug delivery efficiency and parameters such as diffusivity, ... Read More
Three-dimensional finite element (FE) modeling of magnetic flux leakage (MFL) technique has been performed using COMSOL 3.4 for prediction of leakage fields from surface and sub-surface defects in a 12 mm thick carbon steel plate. The tangential and normal components of leakage fields ... Read More
As part of its research, the Group of Electrical Engineering-Paris (GeePs) uses COMSOL Multiphysics software for applications such as material modelling in Electrical Engineering, electromagnetic compatibility and Eddy current non-destructive testing (EC-NDT). EC-NDT is an easy-to-use ... Read More
Background: Magnetic Induction Tomography (MIT) is an electromagnetic imaging technique that maps a material's electrical conductivity by inducing eddy currents via a primary oscillating magnetic field. The resulting secondary magnetic fields from the eddy currents are measured for image ... Read More
