Advanced membrane for water desalination and ion separation applications
(University of Waterloo, 2023-04-25)Population growth, contamination of fresh water, and climate change are increasing pressure on water supplies, accelerating the need for technological solutions that will improve access to clean water for drinking and ... -
Advancing the Industrialization of Thin Film Deposition: Tools for Mitigating Powder Formation in Spatial-ALD Systems and for Real-time, In-situ Metrology
(University of Waterloo, 2024-01-11)Thin-film manufacturing through Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition (SALD) offers high throughput and cost-saving advantages, but challenges such as powder formation and the lack of real-time in-situ metrology hinder its ... -
Applications of Reflectometry Towards the Development of MEMS Gas Sensors
(University of Waterloo, 2021-05-27)Reflectometry or reflectance spectroscopy is a relatively simple characterization technique based on the analysis of reflected light from a surface. Herein, reflectometry is used to attain significant insights towards the ... -
Improving Dielectric Thin Films for Metal Insulator Metal Diodes and Perovskite Solar Cells
(University of Waterloo, 2021-08-25)Metal-insulator-metal (MIM) diodes are nano-electronic devices that operate by quantum tunneling of electrons through a thin dielectric layer to rectify high frequency alternating current (AC) to usable direct current (DC). ... -
Leveraging Atmospheric-Pressure Spatial Atomic Layer Deposition and Machine Learning for Nanomaterial and Device Design
(University of Waterloo, 2023-07-27)The deposition and design of nanometre-scale oxide films is an integral component of the ongoing nanomaterial revolution, from cell phones, to batteries, to photovoltaics. Atmospheric-pressure spatial atomic layer deposition ...
