Technical Papers and Presentations

The U.S. Naval Academy has used COMSOL as a research tool for many years. Academic usage of COMSOL for student use has only begun in the last five years. Student involvement comes in four types, course-wide usage, focused course related work, student projects and semester-long research ... Read More

Evonetix is a Cambridge-based start-up company working on a revolutionary new technology to synthesize high-fidelity DNA at scale. Our technology is based on a silicon MEMS chip with a large number of reaction sites that facilitate multiple parallel synthesis channels. We operate a ... Read More

Terahertz radiation (THz) is defined to have frequencies from 0.1-10 THz (1 THz=1e12 Hz). This radiation lies between microwave and infrared radiations in the electromagnetic spectrum. Metamaterials are designed periodic materials that show exotic properties to light and sound. ... Read More

Neurological disorders afflict tens of millions in the US. We are developing technology to advance capabilities for monitoring the neurotransmitters, dopamine, norepinephrine, and epinephrine (the catecholamines), to facilitate direct observations of their mutual interactions in brain ...

The dielectric properties of heterogeneous media are of increasing interest as many applications exploit the usage of dielectric property detection in bio-imaging, scanning, microwave tomography and other electromagnetic applications. Using Laplace’s equation for non-integer dimensions, ... Read More

Stealth technology is one of the important requirements for the next generation (5th Generation) combat aircraft. Most of the stealth aircraft design focuses on low radar signature to reduce the detection possibility. Stealth technology allow the aircraft to enter the enemy territory ... Read More

The detection and identification of the location of a sound source is commonly done using arrays of microphones. A recent new alternative approach has been proposed which involves the use of continuous structures, such as beams or plates, as acoustic wave sensors. The sound wave ... Read More

Non-contacting guided wave tomography based on laser ultrasonic waves can be used to inspect structures that are inaccessible to traditional ultrasound methods. Such structures could be, chemically or physically hard to reach, e.g. hot metal structures, metal implants inside tissue or ... Read More

Convective transport of macromolecules or micro and nanoparticles in microsystems are usually predicted by solving the Navier Stokes equations for the carrier fluid and a concentration equation for the diffusing species. In the case of isolated particles or complicated geometries with ... Read More

We present a Finite Element Method simulation procedure that allows rapid development of prototype devices comprising novel self-referenced interference SPR (surface plasmon resonance) biosensing microstructures. The procedure takes advantage of  COMSOL Multiphysics and MATLAB software ... Read More
