Phase Change Materials for RF Microsystems
Vanadium Dioxide (VO2) is a phase-change material (PCM) that exhibits a solid-to-solid crystalline structure transition at 68 °C. The electrical conductivity of VO2 is that of a dielectric (or insulator) below the transition temperature and that of a conductor above it. | LEARN MORE
Electrical Characterization of Novel Materials
Understanding material properties (dielectric constant and loss tangent) are crucial in designing next-generation antennas and RF components at millimeter wave (30-300 GHz) and terahertz (>300 GHz) bands. In our group, we have developed a free space... | LEARN MORE
Implantable Pulmonary Artery Banding for Congenital Heart Disease
Congenital heart diseases (CHD) affect nearly 1% of – or about 40,000 – births per year in the United States. Among them, about 25% of newborns are in critical condition and need surgery or other procedures in the first year of life. Pulmonary... | LEARN MORE
