Cardiac Output Improvement in Mechanical Circulatory Support Devices
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Mechanical circulatory support devices (MCSDs) have gained widespread clinical acceptance as an effective heart failure (HF) therapy. The concept of harnessing the kinetic energy (KE) available in the forward aortic flow ...
Nonlinear Compensation in Optical Communications Systems using the Nonlinear Fourier Transform
(North Dakota State University, 2017)
Nonlinear effects in optical fibers impose a capacity limit for optical communication systems. In this dissertation, the nonlinear Fourier transform (NFT) is investigated as a method to mitigate and compensate for those ...
Metamaterial-Inspired Reconfigurable Series-Fed Arrays
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
One of the biggest challenges in modern day wireless communication systems is to attain agility and provide more degrees of freedom in parameters such as frequency, radiation pattern and polarization. Existing phased array ...
Characterization of Inflationary and Deflationary Auscultatory Blood Pressure Measurements
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
This document is a paper-based dissertation. The dissertation is a collection of articles
written by the author in the pursuit to develop a novel method to measure blood pressure (BP).

Impact of Inverter-Based Resources on Grid Dynamics
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
The increasing integration of renewable energy resources such as wind and solar into the electric power grid through power electronic inverters has changed grid dynamics and posed challenges to grid planning, ...
Microwave Measurement of Grain and Biomass
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Microwave measurement is a powerful method for mass prediction and grain detection. Existing systems are well adapted for small volume grain measurements, but cannot accommodate materials other than grain (e.g. biomass), ...
Creation and Implementation of the Innovation-Based Learning Framework: A Learning Analytics Approach
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
To meet the national and international call for creative and innovative engineers, many engineering departments and classrooms are striving to create more authentic learning spaces where students are actively engaging with ...
Variation, Energy Consumption, Latency, and Failure Aware Design for Memristive ANNs
(North Dakota State University, 2021)
As a novel non-volatile device, the memristive crossbar array has delivered many promises in giving low computation complexity, high energy efficiency, and high density for neuromorphic computing. However, the intrinsic ...
Power-Efficient Adaptive Memory Design and Optimization for Video and Deep Learning
(North Dakota State University, 2020)
Memory devices such as Static Random-Access Memory (SRAM) and Dynamic Random-Access Memory (DRAM) are dominating members of today’s semiconductor industry. Most of the silicon area in a digital system is occupied by memory ...
