1. Nanomechanical Studies and Applications of Cantilever Sensors
Abstract : Different aspects of cantilevers to be used as sensors have been studied. Silicon cantilevers have been fabricated and integrated on CMOS chips using low-energy electron beam lithography in order to reduce the irradiation damage to the circuits. The released and integrated cantilevers have been tested and used as mass sensors in air. READ MORE

2. Applications of active materials
Abstract : Energy efficiency is a vital key component when designing and miniaturizing self sustained microsystems. The smaller the system, the smaller is the possibility to store enough stored energy for a long and continuous operational time. READ MORE

3. A study of hydroelastic fluid-structure interaction with application to immersed cantilevers
Abstract : This study presents an approach for partitioned fluid-structure interaction (FSI) applied to large structural deformations, where an incompressible turbulent solver is combined with a structural solver. The implementation is based upon two different open-source libraries by using MPI as a parallel communication protocol, the packages deal. READ MORE

4. Fabrication of cantilever chip with complementary micro channel system in SU-8 for biochemical detection
Abstract : This thesis presents the works on fabrication and measurements done with micro cantilevers and a micro channel system, fabricated in the photo-resist SU-8. SU-8 is a polymer patterned by UV lithography which offers a cheap and fast processing and is an interesting alternative to standard Si techniques. READ MORE

5. Fabrication and Characterization of Aluminum Single Electron Transistors for Scanning Probes
Abstract : The main objective of the work presented in this thesis was to fabricatescanning single electron transistor probes that operate at pumped liquid heliumtemperatures. This required single electron transistors (SETs) with low resistance (R_) and relatively high charging energy (E_C), and the technology tointegrate SETs onto probes. READ MORE
