Ever since the advent of modern technology, major developments have come hand in hand with miniaturization and speed of operation. A proof of this is provided by the impressive success of Moore's law, ...
Pérez Rosas, Juan Miguel (Date of defense: 2020-07-28)
Early detection of microorganisms in environmental and biomedical applications is critical for the effective response to potential pathogenic treats. Most traditional methods and instrumentation for the ...

Devising new tools that expand our capabilities to sense and manipulate the world enables much of the scientific and technological progress around us. For example, light is increasingly more important ...
Icaza Astiz, Yannik Alan de (Date of defense: 2015-01-27)
To measure quantum features in a classical world constrains us to extend the classical technology to the limit, inventing and discovering new schemes to use the classical devices, while reducing and ...
