(author), Eral, H.B. (author)Optofluidic devices have revolutionized the manipulation and transportation of fluid at smaller length scales ranging from micrometers to millimeters. We describe a dedicated optical setup for studying laser-induced cavitation inside a microchannel. In a typical experiment, we use a tightly focused laser beam to locally evaporate the solution...journal article 2023

Almajed, Hussain M. (author), Guerra, Omar J. (author), Smith, W.A. (author), Hodge, Bri Mathias (author), Somoza Tornos, A. (author)Defossilizing the chemical industry using air-to-chemical processes offers a promising solution to driving down the emission trajectory to net-zero by 2050. Syngas is a key intermediate in the chemical industry, which can be produced from electrolytic H2 and air-sourced CO2. To techno-economically assess possible emerging air-to-syngas routes,...journal article 2023

(author), Murugesan, Vignesh (author), Thoen, David (author), Baselmans, J.J.A. (author), de Visser, P.J. (author)Kinetic inductance detectors (KIDs) are superconducting energy-resolving detectors, sensitive to single photons from the near-infrared to ultraviolet. We study a hybrid KID design consisting of a β-phase tantalum (β-Ta) inductor and a Nb-Ti-N interdigitated capacitor. The devices show an average intrinsic quality factor Qi of 4.3×105±1.3×105....journal article 2023

Li, Q. (author), Finn, Adrian J. (author), Doyle, Stephen J. (author), Smith, Robin (author), Kiss, A.A. (author)This paper explores the basis on which reliable screening of distillation sequences for energy-efficient separation of zeotropic multicomponent mixtures can be carried out. A case study for the separation of natural gas liquids is used to demonstrate the approach. To solve this generic problem, a screening algorithm has been developed using...journal article 2023

(author)Three dimensional modulation-enhanced single-molecule localization techniques, such as ModLoc, offer advancements in axial localization precision across the entire field of view and axial capture range, by applying phase shifting to the illumination pattern. However, this improvement is limited by the pitch of the illumination pattern that...journal article 2023

However, existing hydrometeorological definitions fail to encompass the full range of flash droughts, many of which have distinct local physical attributes. Consequently, these events often...journal article 2023

van Dijk, Raymond (author), Kalisvaart, D. (author), Cnossen, J.P. (author), Smith, C.S. (author)Single-molecule localization microscopy requires sparse activation of emitters to circumvent the diffraction limit. In densely labeled or thick samples, overlap of emitter images is inevitable. Single-molecule localization of these samples results in a biased parameter estimate with a wrong model of the number of emitters. On the other hand,...journal article 2023

(author)We study the problem of deploying a fleet of mobile robots to service tasks that arrive stochastically over time and at random locations in an environment. This is known as the Dynamic Vehicle Routing Problem (DVRP) and requires robots to allocate incoming tasks among themselves and find an optimal sequence for each robot.
