1. Antenna Integrated Superconducting Mixers
Abstract : This thesis investigates the prospects of some different superconducting mixers integrated with planar antennas for the millimeter and submillimeter regime. Two kinds of Superconductor/Insulator/Superconductor (SIS) tunnel junctions for use in mixers have been fabricated; Nb/PbBi edge junctions and Nb trilayer junctions. READ MORE

2. Ultra-thin Niobium Nitride Films for Hot Electron Bolometer and THz Applications
Abstract : The part of the electromagnetic spectrum between microwaves and infrared, also known as the terahertz band, is of particular interest for radio astronomy. The radiation intensity of the cold universe peaks at this frequency band, thus defining the demand on sensitive low-noise instruments in this particular frequency range. READ MORE

3. GaN-based HEMTs for Cryogenic Low-Noise Applications
Abstract : Radio-astronomy deals with signals and radiations of extremely weak intensity. Also, it requires robust and rugged technologies able to sustain and prevent the Radio Frequency Interferences (RFI). READ MORE

4. Investigation of electrochemical properties and performance of stimulation/sensing electrodes for pacemaker applications
Abstract : People suffering from certain types of arrhythmia may benefit from the implantation of a cardiac pacemaker. Pacemakers artificially stimulate the heart by applying short electrical pulses to the cardiac tissue to restore and maintain a steady heart rhythm. By adjusting the pulse delivery rate the heart is stimulated to beat at desired pace. READ MORE

5. NbTiN for improved superconducting detectors
Abstract : The physics of single photons is fascinating, by manipulating them we can observe and probe quantum effects. Doing so requires the fabrication and utilization of single photon sources, of which many types have been developed including quantum dots, trapped atoms and ions, and color centers. READ MORE
