Doctoral Citations
| Year | Citation | Program |
|---|---|---|
| 2012 | Dr. Alsaifi's research in the field of Chemical and Biological Engineering focussed on the very complex interactions among molecules. The results of his work have been tested successfully and are contributing to improved industrial processes. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Rizal studied ferromagnetic nanostructures. He subsequently developed highly sensitive magnetic sensors and high-moment biocompatible nanoparticles. The magnetic sensors and nanoparticles have significant potential for application in biomagnetic sensing for the early detection and treatment of chronic diseases such as prostate and lung cancer. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Yaghoobi has demonstrated a unique light-induced heating mechanism in a carbon-based nanomaterial. This is much more efficient than heating of traditional materials such as metals. Dr. Yaghoobi has also shown the use of this unique phenomenon for electronic and solar cell applications, which could lead to a new generation of electronic devices. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Shield used laser diagnostic techniques to study the mixing of natural gas and air in internal combustion engines. His novel fuel injection system will speed the development of cleaner burning natural gas engines for trucks and buses, providing a viable alternative to gasoline and diesel that reduces the air contaminants and the greenhouse gas impact of transport. | Doctor of Philosophy in Mechanical Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Eghbalnia investigated the mineral, pyrite, as a catalyst in recovering copper from minerals that resist its recovery. He determined pyrite catalysts were effective, especially when modified with silver and gold nanoparticles. This will enable industry to recover and process copper at a low temperature, with less cost and energy consumption. | Doctor of Philosophy in Materials Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Huang studied game theory and its various applications in wireless communication networks. She proposed several approaches which help to improve system performances. The main contribution of her work is to demonstrate how artificial intelligence and cognitive technology can be applied in modern wireless communication systems. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Ahmadnia studied the response of underground power transmission cables subjected to earthquake induced permanent ground deformation. Using advanced numerical simulations calibrated and validated with experimental data, he proposed a methodology to assess the seismic response of underground power transmission cables. | Doctor of Philosophy in Civil Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Mohammadnia worked on the next generation wireless networks. He proposed new formulas to evaluate the performance of such systems. He also introduced new techniques to increase the data rate and reliability of these systems. The results of his research can be used in cell-phone networks for a better user experience. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Taghavi experimentally, computationally, and analytically studied the phenomenon of pushing a fluid by a heavier one inside an inclined duct. He classified various possibilities and developed models for these flows. The many applications include flows that occur during the construction of oil and gas wells, and in processing industries. | Doctor of Philosophy in Chemical and Biological Engineering (PhD) |
| 2012 | Dr. Soltanzadeh studied the process of mixing wood pulp with water to discover whether it was possible to improve the performance of pulp mixers that are currently being used in industry. He developed a new mathematical model for mixer systems which adds to our understanding of micro-fluidics and has potential benefits for the pulp and paper industry. | Doctor of Philosophy in Electrical and Computer Engineering (PhD) |
