• Improved packaging techniques for LWIR microbolometers 

      Papatzacos, Phillip (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;164, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      A new generation of Infrared (IR) camera sensors, based on MicroBolometer Arrays (MBA) has been developed. This technology is lower cost and has no need for active cooling, unlike the previous generation. It, therefore, ...
    • Low Power Circuits and Architectures for Wireless Sensor Networks 

      Nowbahari, Arian (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;166, Doctoral thesis, 2023)
      Wireless sensor networks (WSNs), due to their multidisciplinary applications, represent one of the main enabling technologies of the Internet-of-Things paradigm. These networks, consisting of sensor nodes characterized by ...
    • Novel encapsulation of a medical ultrasound probe 

      Do, Nu Bich Duyen (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;182, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      Ultrasound imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of cardiovascular diseases. A trans-esophageal echocardiography (TEE) probe uses ultrasound waves to image the heart in real time in three dimensions (3D) from ...
    • Enhanced Electrochemical CO2 Reduction through Nanostructuring and Light Element Modification 

      Gustavsen, Kim Robert (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;184, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      The rising levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere present a significant challenge to modern society due to its profound impact on the climate. It is therefore crucial to develop and employ carbon-neutral renewable ...
    • Evaluation of Metallurgical Bonding for Ultrasound Transducers 

      Bolstad, Per Kristian (Doctoral dissertations at the University of South-Eastern Norway;188, Doctoral thesis, 2024)
      Common ultrasound transducers use a piezoelectric element to convert between electrical and mechanical energy. The piezoelectric layer is sandwiched between acoustic matching and backing layers to maximize energy transfer ...
