1. Applanation Resonance Tonometry for Intraocular Pressure Measurement
Abstract : Elevated intraocular pressure (IOP) is one of the major risk factors for glaucoma. Since glaucoma is a leading cause of blindness, reliable methods for measuring the IOP are important. This doctoral dissertation presents a new method, applanation resonance tonometry (ART), for measurement of IOP. READ MORE

2. Multifunctional nanostructured Ti-Si-C thin films
Abstract : In this Thesis, I have investigated multifunctional nanostructured Ti-Si-C thin films synthesized by magnetron sputtering in the substrate-temperature range from room temperature to 900 °C. The studies cover high-temperature growth of Ti3SiC2 and Ti4SiC3, low-temperature growth of Ti-Si-C nanocomposites, and Ti-Si-C-based multi¬layers, as well as their electrical, mechanical, and thermal-stability properties.

3. Thin film growth and characterization of Ti-(Si,Ge)-C compounds
Abstract : This thesis describes growth by de magnetron sputtering of thin film Ti-Si-C and Ti-Ge-C materials, with an emphasis on the deposition conditions for nanocomposite and epitaxial growth at low and high temperature processing, respectively. In the Ti-Si-C materials system, I have synthesized nanocomposite thin films from a Ti3SiC2 compound target in an Ar discharge on Si(100), Al2O3(0001), and Al substrates at low substrate temperature (300 oC and below).

5. Scalable Bayesian spatial analysis with Gaussian Markov random fields
Abstract : Accurate statistical analysis of spatial data is important in many applications. Failing to properly account for spatial autocorrelation may often lead to false conclusions. READ MORE
