Police interrogations tend to be very stressful which comes at the expense of the effectiveness of interrogations as stressed suspects and witnesses provide less extensive and accurate statements. To study the contribution of the interrogation room towards this problem, an experiment using the four-group …

Integrated photonic sensors are promising devices for various sensing applications due to their low cost, small size, and high sensitivities that can be reached. In this thesis, ring resonators and three-port Mach-Zehnder interferometer (MZI) devices fabricated on Silicon-On-Insulator were compared for …

Genetic assays are very useful tools for clinical diagnostics and therapeutics. This thesis addresses the development of electrochemical microRNA genosensor, envisioned to be used as a clinical diagnostic tool. Dysregulation of numerous microRNAs have been reported to be closely associated to diseases. …
