1. Control of oscillatory thermocapillary convection
Abstract : The possibility to stabilize the oscillatory thermocapillaryconvection is demonstrated using a proportional feedbackcontrol. This topic has a strong industrial motivation inconnection with a container-less crystal growth method calledthe floating-zone technique. READ MORE

2. Measurements and simulations of thermoplasmonically induced Marangoni flows
Abstract : Particle transport in microfluidic environments is often dominated by slow diffusion near interfaces. However, by inducing localized fluid flow, it is possible to actively transport suspended nano-objects in confined spaces. READ MORE

3. Carbon Nanotube Transistors: Nanotube Growth, Contact Properties and Novel Devices
Abstract : Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are envisioned to be used as the basic building blocks in future electronics due to their excellent electronic properties such as high mobility, compatibility with high-k dielectrics and small diameters resulting in advantageous electrostatics. This thesis is divided into three separate topics related to increasing the fabrication yield and performance of CNT field effect transistors (CNTFETs). READ MORE

4. The Internal Flow in Freezing Water Droplets
Abstract : The aim of this work has been to study the internal flow in freezing water droplets on a cold surface and to investigate the different heat transfer mechanisms involved. This is an interesting topic with a great number of applications, specifically in areas where the prevention of unwanted icing is important, e.g. READ MORE

5. Phase change, surface tension and turbulence in real fluids
Abstract : Sprays are extensively used in industry, especially for fuels in internal combustion and gas turbine engines. An optimal fuel/air mixture prior to combustion is desired for these applications, leading to greater efficiency and minimal levels of emissions. READ MORE
