▼ Neurological diseases are a major challenge to reach new therapies. However,
physiological signals that regulate neurodegeneration in the central nervous
system
(CNS) are still little known since there is no suitable in vitro model for studying the
basis of localized cells and molecules. Here this dissertation presents the development of
biomimetic microsystems that reconstitute neurophysiologically important functional
brain and neurovascular interface in the CNS.
The brain organs-on-chips can recapitulate pharmacological responses and
complex interactions between different types of cells that are mediated by the
extracellular matrix and intercellular junctions within the organ model. Since the
developed microsystems have a biomimetic tissue structure, it is possible to more
accurately function and simulate the delivery and penetration of the drug compound in
vivo than the 2D cell monolayer in the conventional culture model or the prior
microfluidics.
The developed brain
chip is composed of four culture chambers with 10
aggregate traps and multi-electrode arrays enable electrical stimulation for 40 neuronal
aggregates as well as drug stimulation. Uniform 150 μm aggregates from the microwell
can be cultured for 4 weeks. This
system developed for the study of CNS myelin
formation showed that the 10Hz of electrical stimulation for the promotion of
myelination was successfully confirmed with 500 nM retinoic acid treatment results in
the automatic image analysis.
iii
The other developed blood-brain barrier (BBB)
chip consists of 4 × 4
microfluidic channel arrays and 16 channel multi-electrode arrays, able to electrically
analyze 16 sites. Co-culture BBB-on-a-
chip contains neurovascular endothelium
separated from primary astrocyte by a porous membrane that allows cell-cell interactions
through the membrane. In this platform, the effects of astrocyte-coculture, extracellular
matrix, and in vivo shear stress level on barrier permeability were characterized through
TEER measurements and dextran permeability assays.
Also, despite the presence of BBB, monocyte infiltration into the CNS was
observed by monocyte chemotactic protein (CCL2), which corresponds to the early
event of brain injury. Finally, the
system developed to address these pharmacological
problems for drug development showed how drugs work in brain vessels (histamine) and
brain tissues (tetrodotoxin), as well as delivering drugs from brain vessels to brain tissue
(atenolol).

▼ Most integrated circuits are evolutionary. This is especially true in the realm of
system-on-a-
chip (SoC) devices that combine multiple functions monolithically. Electronic systems that begin life as an entire printed circuit board often see smaller and smaller
chip counts as designs mature. In some cases, functions will be combined into multichip modules that co-locate separate integrated circuits in a single package to provide additional levels of signal integrity and achieve cost reductions. This process continues through stages that culminate in the monolithic integration of these separate chips. The requirement to differentiate similar functions for different customers and applications results in families of SoC’s with similar but not identical capabilities. As parametric and functional testing become larger and larger contributors to total cost, avoiding duplication of effort is a key factor in maintaining competitive position and market share. The strategies involved in achieving economies of scale that can be realized by recognizing the similarities between family members while still providing for differentiation where required is a
subject of great interest currently. This work traces the development of test capability in such a family through several generations. An approach that utilizes a motherboard to take advantage of the similarities between family members and is combined with specialized hardware realized in a series of daughter boards, and differentiated software as well is described through several design iterations. Debugging both hardware and software while looking for ways to streamline testing and further reduce test time and cost is detailed. The result is a cost effective approach to advanced device testing that does not compromise performance and provides for acceptable levels of fault coverage.

▼ Network-on-
Chip (NoC) communication interconnects have emerged as a solution to complex heterogeneous core systems such as those found in Multiprocessor
System-on-
Chip architectures. Many previous works have used the objectives of power or performance during topology synthesis for regular or application specific based NoC design. However, given the crucial requirements and demands of future on-
chip applications, it is imperative that designs consider both power and performance aspects, in addition to other important
system constraints. Therefore, in order to address such issues, this thesis work presents a multi-objective Tabu search based topology synthesis technique for designing power and performance efficient Network-on-
Chip architectures. The methodology incorporates an analytical and simulation approach in order to compromise between computational time and effort within the algorithm. Furthermore, this work also presents a novel approach for a power and performance tradeoff during contention and deadlock removal within synthesis. The proposed method was tested using seven different multimedia and network benchmark application, where results displayed an increase in performance and decrease in power dissipation in comparison to other previous application specific and regular mesh designs. The analysis method was successful during topology generation, yielding an overall accuracy rate deviation of 19.8% within the worst case scenario.

▼ Over the past decade, the processing speed requirement of embedded systems has steadily increased. Since faster clocking of a single processor can no longer be considered to increase the processing speed of the
system (due to overheating and other constraints), the development of multiprocessors on a single
chip has stepped up to meet the demand. One approach has been to design and develop a multiprocessing platform to handle a large set of homogeneous applications. However, this development has been slow due to the intractable design space, which results when both the hardware and software are required to be adjustable to meet the needs of the dissimilar applications. A different approach has been to limit the number of targeted applications to be similar in some sense. By limiting the number of targeted applications to a cohesive set, the design space can become manageable. This thesis proposes a framework for a multiprocessing
system-on-
chip (MPSoC), consisting of a cohesive hardware and software architecture intended specifically for problems that are stream-oriented (e.g., video streaming). The framework allows the hardware and software to be customized to fit a specific application within the cohesive set, while narrowing the design space to a manageable set of design parameters. In addition, this thesis designs and develops an analytic model, using a discrete-time Markov chain, to measure the performance of an MPSoC framework implementation when the number of concurrent processing elements is varied. Finally, a chaotic simulated annealing algorithm was developed to determine an optimal mapping and scheduling of tasks to processing elements within the MPSoC.

▼ The advent of Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) has emphasized the importance of on-chip communication infrastructures. Network on Chip (NoC) has emerged as a state of the art paradigm for efficient on-chip communication. Among the various components employed in NoC routers, Virtual Channel (VC) plays an important role in the performance and hardware requirements of an NoC system. The VC mechanism enables the multiplexing and buffering of several packets to travel over a single physical channel concurrently. VC arbitration (or arbiter) is another critical organization component of a router that has significant impact on the efficiency of an NoC system. Arbiter performs arbitration among the group of VCs that are competing for a single resource (e.g. output-port).
In this dissertation, we propose novel approaches for dynamic VC flow control mechanism and VC arbitration. The first two approaches are based on the adaptivity of VCs in the router input-port that improves the efficiency of NoC system. In both of techniques, the input-port comprises of a centralized buffer whose slots are dynamically allocated to VCs according to a real-time traffic situation. The performance improvement is achieved by utilizing multiple virtual channels with minimal buffer resources. The VC arbitration approach is based on an efficient and fast arbiter that functions upon the index of its input-ports (or VC requests). The architecture of arbiter scales with the Log2 of the number of inputs where a conventional round robin arbiter scales with the number of inputs. The index based behavior and the architecture of our arbiter leads to lower power consumption and chip area.
This dissertation presents the organizations and micro-architectures of NoC routers. We have employed SystemVerilog at the micro-architectural level design and modeling of NoC components. We employ three CAD platforms namely ModelSim, Quartus (FPGA) and Synopsys (ASIC level) to design, simulate and implement our router based NoCs. The simulation results support the theoretical concepts of our proposed VC organization and arbitration approaches. We have also implemented and conducted simulation and modeling experiments for conventional VC organization and arbitration models. The experimental results verify the efficiency of our proposed models in terms of power, area and performance in different NoC configurations.

▼ With technology scaling down, hundreds and thousands processing elements (PEs) can be integrated on a single chip. Consequently, the embedded systems have led to the advent of multi-core System-on-Chip (MPSoC) design and the high performance computer architectures have evolved into Chip Multi-processor (CMP) platforms. A scalable and modular solution to the interconnecting problem becomes critically important. Network-on-chip (NoC) has been proposed as an efficient solution to handle this distinctive challenge by providing efficient and scalable communication infrastructures among the on-chip resources. In this thesis, we have explored the high performance NoC design for MPSoC and CMP structures from the performance modeling in the offline design phase to the routing algorithm and NoC architecture optimization. More specifically, we first deal with the issue of how to estimate an NoC design fast and accurately in the synthesis inner loop. The simulation based evaluation method besides being slow, provides little insight to guide the optimization process of the NoC synthesis loop. Therefore, fast and accurate analytical models for NoC-based multicore performance evaluation are strongly desired to better explore the design space. For this purpose, we propose a machine learning based latency regression model to evaluate the NoC designs with respect to different configurations before the system is built or taped-out. Then, for high performance NoC designs, we tackle one of the most important problems, i.e., the routing algorithms design with different design constraints and objectives. For avoiding temperature hotspots, a thermal-aware routing algorithm is proposed to achieve an even temperature profile for application-specific Network-on-chips (NoCs). For improving the reliability, a routing algorithm to achieve maximum performance under fault is proposed. Finally, in the architecture level, we propose two new NoC structures using bi-directional links for the performance optimization. In particular, we propose a flit-level speedup scheme to enhance the network-on-chip(NoC) performance utilizing bidirectional channels. In addition to the traditional efforts on allowing flits of different packets using the idling internal and external bandwidth of the bi-directional channel, our proposed flit-level speedup scheme also allows flits within the same packet to be transmitted simultaneously on the bi-directional channel. We also propose a flexible NoC architecture which takes advantage of a dynamic distributed routing algorithm and improves the NoC communication performance with minimal energy overhead. This proposed NoC architecture exploits the self-reconfigurable bidirectional channels to increase the effective bandwidth and uses express virtual paths, as well as localized hub routers, to bypass some intermediate nodes at run time in the network. From the simulation results on both synthetic traffic and real workload traces, significantly performance improvement in terms of latency and throughput can be achieved.

▼ Signature is an effective lossy compression method to reduce signal trace size at the possible cost of trace precision and implementation cost for different kinds of signatures to generate. In this paper we first investigate how it actually affects the debug flow when we use signatures, and then we examine the strengths and challenges of some typical signature methods. We then further investigate the possibility of combining multiple signatures together to achieve higher Buggy-Cycle-Density (BCD, a metric we proposed to evaluate the trace precision) along with compression ratio, aliasing probability and possible hardware costs. We also proposed a simulation based estimation tool for user to decide which kind of option and scenario they would like to adopt, according to the constraints and requirements that user wanted to meet. With the estimation tool and conditions user provides, they can select the most suitable options to implement on their
system. Finally, fitting in the scenario options we acquired above, we implemented a feasible 3D signature compaction method with various debug configurations to justify our work.

▼ We demonstrate the feasibility of USB-powered portable
genetic amplification. One of the central processes within medical
or biological genetic methods is polymerase chain reaction (PCR).
Through this amplification, more quantities of the specified
genetic target can be obtained for analysis and testing. In this
work we have designed a system that is able to perform PCR using a
Universal Serial Bus (USB) link for power and communications. The
significance of this is the portability and accessibility that
comes with the USB based platform. The system is built around a
custom VLSI CMOS chip which was designed to accommodate the
functionalities required to perform PCR. The intended design and
shortcomings of the VLSI chip, as well as characterization and
optimization of the system will be discussed in this thesis. This
work also includes the design and testing of system firmware,
system integration, and demonstration of PCR through molecular
diagnostic lab work.

▼ Die vorliegende Arbeit befasst
sich mit Analysemethoden für grobgranulare rekonfigurierbare
Prozessorarchitekturen. Es wird ein modellbasiertes Verfahren
vorgestellt, mit dessen Hilfe derartige Hardwarestrukturen auf
einfache Weise bezüglich ihres Flächenbedarfs, der Datenrate und
des Energieverbrauchs charakterisiert werden können. Weiterhin
werden Untersuchungsergebnisse dargestellt, die einen Vergleich
grobgranularer Architekturen mit anderen Implementierungsformen
ermöglichen. Field-Programmable Gate-Arrays (FPGAs) stellen
aufgrund der Rekonfigurierbarkeit auf Bitebene flexible Bausteine
mit hoher Verarbeitungsgeschwindigkeit dar, allerdings auf Kosten
eines enormen Flächenoverheads und hohen Energieverbrauches.
Demgegenüber enthalten grobgranulare Architekturen komplexere,
anwendungsspezifisch optimierte Datenpfade, die eine
Rekonfigurierbarkeit auf Wortebene gestatten. Es ist ein
parametrisierbares Modell für eine grobgranulare rekonfigurierbare
Architektur entwickelt worden. Angenommen wird ein
zweidimensionales Feld, dessen Basiszellen über lokale
Datenleitungen, sowie über segmentierbare Busse miteinander
kommunizieren können. Weiterhin sind auf lineare Algorithmen hin
optimierte Prozessorelemente unterschiedlicher Komplexität
entwickelt worden. Anhand von physikalischen Modellen zur
Ermittlung des Flächenbedarfs, der maximalen Taktfrequenz und des
Energieverbrauches werden die VLSI-Eigenschaften der Modelle
abgeschätzt, und denen von FPGAs, DSPs und Semi-Custom-Entwürfen
gegenübergestellt. Die Ergebnisse zeigen, dass grobgranulare
Architekturen im Vergleich zu FPGAs je nach Implementierung eine 7
bis 20 mal höhere Flächen- und Energieeffizienz aufweisen. Die
Datenrate beider Varianten liegt dabei etwa in der gleichen
Größenordnung. Bei Abbildung von Algorithmen, für welche die
grobgranularen Datenpfade nicht optimiert wurden, sinkt die
Effizienz dagegen erwartungsgemäß deutlich ab.

▼ Microphysiological systems, also known as organ-on-a-
chip systems, possess significant potential as organotypic models of human tissues, including vascular tissue interfaces that are ubiquitous throughout the human body. As microfluidic systems, organs-on-chips also possess significant untapped analytical potential. Cellular analysis in organs-on-chips, however, currently relies on standard methods designed for traditional in vitro cell culture vessels like microtiter plates. These methods disturb the cell culture environment, rely on multiple manual steps and are not designed to operate in small microfluidic volumes.
The aim of this thesis was to design and develop online cellular analysis methods that are suitable for integration into the organotypic microenvironment of microvessel-on-a-
chip models. Cellular analysis methods for cell secretion and barrier function monitoring were specifically considered. For integrated cell secretion monitoring, a numerical study correlated physiological shear flow to biosensor reaction kinetics in a microfluidic vascular model with online biosensing. Three critical parameters (critical shear stress, Peclet and Biot numbers) in conjunction with the numerical analysis enabled the minimization of biosensor response times while preserving physiological shear flows. For integrated barrier function monitoring, endothelial permeability was measured online in a Transwell-based microfluidic vascular model using a novel electrochemical permeability assay. Unlike the standard fluorescence-based permeability assay, this enabled endothelial permeability to be measured directly on-
chip inside an incubator without the need for manual sampling, or bulky and costly optical instrumentation. Finally, the electrochemical permeability assay was implemented in a hydrogel-based microfluidic vascular model with gel-embedded electrodes. Online endothelial permeability measurements were performed in a 3D culture environment, demonstrating the ability of the assay to operate in the low volume organotypic microenvironments characteristic of microphysiological systems. The miniaturized electrochemical format is furthermore suitable for parallelization and higher throughput analysis.
In summary, the integration of cellular analysis methods is critical to fulfilling the tremendous promise of microphysiological systems. The capability to perform multiparametric online analysis at the cellular level has the potential to set these systems apart from current models of the human organism.

▼ Two decades ago, it was demonstrated that electrical vagal nerve stimulation (VNS) inhibits gastrointestinal (GI) inflammation. In-vivo studies concluded that VNS inhibits GI inflammation by releasing neurotransmitter acetylcholine (ACh) from efferent vagus nerve fibers which binds intestinal macrophage nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (nAChRs), inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-α) production. The next decade of research demonstrated that ACh activated intestinal epithelial cell (IEC) muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (mAChRs) to ameliorate epithelial barrier integrity. However, several contradictory studies were published. One plausible explanation for the discrepancies is differential mAChR expression and/or biological function between GI cell lines. Evidently, our cellular understanding of cholinergic regulation of the intestinal epithelium is in its infancy. Nevertheless, bioelectric medicine may potentially augment inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) treatment, warranting further investigation of cholinergic regulation of the intestinal epithelium. This research leveraged primary human organoids and microfluidics to develop physiologically relevant models for studying cholinergic regulation of intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. Primary human intestinal organoids were dissociated and seeded on Transwell inserts. The primary epithelium exhibited functional differences as compared to immortalized epithelium: increased barrier integrity, increased and polarized interleukin 8 (IL-8) secretion, and the presence of both absorptive enterocytes and secretory goblet cells. TNF-α was used to model an inflamed state exhibiting increased paracellular permeability, apoptosis, and basal IL-8 production. Quantitative immunofluorescent image segmentation and analysis demonstrated that TNF-α reduced epithelial integrity through both apoptosis and tight junction (TJ) rearrangement while epithelial cells adopted a distinct phenotype that sealed TJs. Though the primary epithelium expressed the previously implicated subtype M3 muscarinic receptor, neither nAChR nor mAChR activation inhibited TNF-α induced inflammation as previously described. However, maChR activation decreased transcellular transport of a 70 kDa dextran. Temporally resolved experiments confirmed that mAChR activation of primary epithelium does not augment the shedding of TNF receptor 1 (TNFR1) to attenuate TNF- α signaling as previously described. The results demonstrated a first application of primary human organoid technology toward studying cholinergic regulation of intestinal epithelial barrier integrity. Microfluidic cell culture devices, termed organ chips, lend advantages to traditional static Transwell culture. An organ chip manufacturing technique was developed, circumventing cost, throughput, and scalability disadvantages of traditional microfabrication. The technique was validated by culturing Caco-2 monolayers in a bi- layer architecture and by integrating primary monolayers and organoids in a novel tri- layer…

▼ The growing markets for analytical techniques in areas such as pathogen detection, clinical analysis, forensic investigation, environmental analysis and food analysis require the development of devices with simultaneous high performance, speed, simplicity and low cost. Analysis of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) has been enhanced by use of the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) technique, which is now a widely used tool for in vitro amplification of nucleic acids. In this work, a miniaturised PCR system comprising a microfluidic PCR chip, novel heating method and fluorescence detection unit was developed. PCR chip with reactants were shunted along three temperature zones in a fine polycarbonate chip. The polycarbonate PCR chip was fabricated using milling and thermal fusion binding for sealing of the cover. Thermal-cycling within the microfluidic chip was achieved by programmable shunting of the chip between three double side temperature zones with different temperatures to accomplish the denaturation, annealing and elongation steps necessary for PCR amplification. This thermal-cycling model potentially improves PCR efficacy because it increases the ramping rates for heating and cooling the PCR mixture. The detection unit comprises a photo-detector and Light Emitting Diode (LED) as the source of excitation. The detection limit of the system was determined on the PCR chip using Fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) as a fluorophore dye. The detection limit achieved was 7.8 pg ml-1 or (19.7 pmol) of FITC. The chromosomal DNA used in this work was extracted from non-pathogenic K-12 subtype of Escherichia coli (E. coli). The investigations showed that the system was capable of performing PCR amplification with different annealing temperature ranging from 54 to 68 °C, targeting three different sizes of PCR products of 250, 552 and 1500 bp. The prototype thermal-cycler and PCR chip were used successfully to amplify the three sizes and the results were compared with same fragments amplified on a conventional PCR .thermal-cycler machine. The method used for comparison was gel electrophoresis. In addition, a fluorescence detection system was employed for detecting of PCR products using SYBR Green I fluorescent dye. The whole system allows for developments of low cost, easy to use and portable instruments.

▼ While SystemC models provide a promising solution to the complex problem of HW/SW co-design within the
system-on-
chip paradigm, such requires a detailed annotation of transaction level energy and performance data within the model. While this data can be obtained through source code profiling of an application running on the target processor, accomplishing such when the target CPU hardware is not actively available typically requires time-consuming CPU simulation, which is often too slow to practically consider for large programs. Additionally, while the use of SystemC modeling with TLM 2.0 standard is widely adopted for the SoC modeling, the process of transforming C/C++ code to SystemC code with TLM 2.0 functionality remains non-trivial. Herein we propose an automated framework that:
1. Enables high speed code-specific CPU profiling support for both Sniper and gem5 using parallelized dynamic steady state phase convergence modeling, providing automatic annotation of energy and performance within source code.
2. Provides an automated C to SystemC TLM 2.0 code generation flow that utilizes the back-annotated source code to produce a SystemC module for seamless incorporation into the virtual prototype.
Maximum speedups obtained using Sniper and gem5 are 48.76x and 562x respectively, while average results obtained speedups of 31.5x and 323.1x. Sniper results maintain an average accuracy of 0.89% for latency and 0.10% for energy, while gem5 achieves average accuracies of 4.16% and 2.87% for latency and energy respectively.

▼ An extended depth of field imaging
system was developed for in-line inspection for the semiconductor industry. The
system produces a single, two-dimensional, in-focus image of objects such as integrated circuits or other computer
chip components. The
system must be high resolution and have a large depth of field to capture small details at all heights of the object. The
system must operate quickly since it is used on an assembly line and also must produce true color images, since color can be an indicator of issues with an inspected object.
The
system uses white light interferometry (WLI) as a means of finding focus across the field of view. The interferometer vertically scans through different focus positions. Fringes from WLI only occur near best focus, or zero optical path difference (OPD). A “vision sensor,” which detects changes in irradiance, outputs events when the irradiance changes for each pixel, which only occurs in a narrow depth fringe region. A depth map of the object is created from this information and informs a separate imaging sensor of best focus depth for individual pixels. The imaging sensor captures pixels at their best focus, and the scanning combines the individual pixel information to create the in focus, two-dimensional image.
This thesis details the development of the
system concept, the design of the
system, and modeling of white light interference in general as well as its use in modeling
system performance. The
system designed has a 0.6-mm x 0.8-mm field of view with 1.5-μm object size mapping to an image sensor pixel. The
system has a 500-μm depth of focus with depth resolution of 3 μm and creates true color images. The prototype of the
system is expected to create the final image in around 1 second. The speed is limited by capabilities of current detectors rather than the method itself, and it is expected the
system can become significantly faster in a few years, such that full image capture can occur in a time of 40 ms.

▼ Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) have been widely used in various applications to acquire distributed information through cooperative efforts of sensor nodes. Most of the sensor nodes used in WSNs are based on mechanical or electrical sensing mechanisms, which are susceptible to electromagnetic interference (EMI) and can hardly be used in harsh environments. Although these disadvantages of conventional sensor nodes can be overcome by employing optical sensing methods, traditional optical systems are usually bulky and expensive, which can hardly be implemented in WSNs. Recently, the emerging technologies of silicon photonics and photonic crystal promise a solution of integrating a complete optical
system through a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) process. However, such an integration still remains a challenge.
The overall objective of this dissertation work is to develop a smart multifunctional optical
system-on-a-
chip (SOC) sensor platform capable of both phase modulation and wavelength tuningfor heterogeneous sensing, and implement this platform in a sensor node to achieve an optical WSN for various applications, including those in harsh environments. The contributions of this dissertation work are summarized as follows. i)A smart multifunctional optical SOC sensor platform for heterogeneous sensing has beendeveloped for the first time. This platform can be used to perform phase modulation and demodulation in a low coherence interferometric configuration or wavelength tuning in a spectrum sensing configuration.The multifunctional optical sensor platform is developed through hybrid integration of a light source, an optical modulator, and multiple photodetectors. As the key component of the SOC platform, two types of modulators, namely, the opto-mechanical and electro-optical modulators, are investigated. For the first time, interrogating different types of heterogeneous sensors, including various Fabry-Perot (FP) sensors and fiber Bragg grating (FBG) sensors, with a single SOC sensor platform, is demonstrated. ii)Enhanced understanding of the principles of the multifunctional optical platform withanopto-mechanical modulator has been achieved.As a representative of opto-mechanical modulators, a microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) based FP tunable filter is thoroughly investigated through mechanical and optical modeling. The FP tunable filter is studied for both phase modulation and wavelength tuning, and design guidelines are developed based on the modeling and parametric studies. It is found that the MEMS tunable filter can achieve a large modulation depth, but it suffers from a trade-off between modulation depth and speed. iii) A novel silicon electro-optical modulator based on microring structures for optical phase modulation and wavelength tuning has been designed. To overcome the limitations of the opto-mechanical modulators including low modulation speed and mechanical instability, a CMOS compatible high speed electro-optical silicon modulator is designed, which combines microring and photonic…

▼ Ever since the discovery of DNA, biologists have been striving to unravel its
mysteries. Many efforts have been made over the years to further our
understanding of genes, what they do and how they function. Genomes exist
as a 3D structure inside the nucleus and they are not randomly arranged.
However, there are still many gaps in the knowledge of how the structure fills
this 3D space. Using chromosome conformation capture (3C) and other
methods based on proximity ligation, interactions between different sections
on the chromosome can be captured. A computer simulated 3D chromosome
model can then be created based on the interaction data. Currently, global
interaction maps can only be created for populations of cells. The overall goal
of this research is to develop a protocol that will enable the capture of
chromosome interactions within a single cell. This requires the use of
microfluidic chips due to the minute quantity of DNA within a single cell.
Therefore the main objectives of this research are to: 1) build and test a
microfluidic system (lab-on-a-chip or LOC) that will aid in the capture of interand
intra- chromosomal interactions of a single cell; and 2) characterize the
restriction and ligation of DNA that will be performed in a microfluidic
system.
In order to assess the efficiency of DNA digestion within microfluidic chips,
EcoRI and MspI digestion kinetics within microtubes is first characterized to
establish a base line for comparison with digestion kinetics within microfluidic
chips. The Km, Vmax and Kcat for EcoRI within microtubes are 32 nM, 0.14 nM s-1
and 1.4 fmol s-1 U-1 respectively. The Km, Vmax and Kcat for MspI within
microtubes are 125 nM, 1.46 nM s-1 and 29.2 fmol s-1 U-1 respectively.
On the other hand, the digestion kinetics within microfluidic chips is
undetermined, because both restriction enzymes exhibit non-specific nuclease
activity within microfluidic chips under the conditions tested. The exhibition
of non-specific nuclease activity is unexpected and causes ligation of DNA
performed in microfluidic chips to fail. The non-specific nuclease activity of
EcoRI and MspI within microfluidic chips is also problematic for the overall
goal of developing a protocol that will enable the capture of chromosome
interactions within a single cell, because the non-specific nuclease activity
would cause loss of template and random variations in results obtained.

▼ The Nordin group at Brigham Young University has been focused on developing 3D printing technology for fabrication of lab-on-a-chip (microfluidic) devices since 2013. As we showed in 2015, commercial 3D printers and resins have not been developed to meet the highly specialized needs of microfluidic device fabrication. We have therefore created custom 3D printers and resins specifically designed to meet these needs. As part of this development process, ad hoc 3D printer control software has been developed. However, the software is difficult to modify and maintain to support the numerous experimental iterations of hardware used in our custom 3D printers. This highlights the need for modular yet reliable system software that is easy to use, learn, and work with to adapt to the unique challenges of a student workforce. This thesis details the design and implementation of new 3D printer system software that meets these needs. In particular, a software engineering principle-based design approach is taken that lends itself to several specific development patterns that permit easy incorporation of new hardware into a 3D printer to enable rapid evaluation of and development with such new hardware.

▼ Network-on-
Chip (NOC) based designs have garnered significant attention from both
researchers and industry over the past several years. The analysis of these designs has
focused on broad topics such as NOC component micro-architecture, fault-tolerant
communication, and
system memory architecture. Nonetheless, the design of lowlatency,
high-bandwidth, low-power and area-efficient NOC is extremely complex due
to the conflicting nature of these design objectives. Benchmarks are an indispensable
tool in the design process; providing thorough measurement and fair comparison
between designs in order to achieve optimal results (i.e performance, cost, quality of
service).
This research proposes a benchmarking platform called NoCBench for evaluating
the performance of Network-on-
chip. Although previous research has proposed standard
guidelines to develop benchmarks for Network-on-
Chip, this work moves forward and
proposes a
System-C based simulation platform for
system-level design exploration. It
will provide an initial set of synthetic benchmarks for on-
chip network interconnection
validation along with an initial set of standardized processing cores, NOC components,
and
system-wide services.
The benchmarks were constructed using synthetic applications described by Task
Graphs For Free (TGFF) task graphs extracted from the E3S benchmark suite. Two
benchmarks were used for characterization: Consumer and Networking. They are
characterized based on throughput and latency. Case studies show how they can be used
to evaluate metrics beyond throughput and latency (i.e. traffic distribution).
The contribution of this work is two-fold: 1) This study provides a methodology
for benchmark creation and characterization using NoCBench that evaluates important
metrics in NOC design (i.e. end-to-end packet delay, throughput). 2) The developed
full-
system simulation platform provides a complete environment for further benchmark
characterization on NOC based MpSoC as well as
system-level design space
exploration.

▼ Traditional in vitro alveolar epithelial cell (AEC) models lack physiological architectural cues required for regulating cell functionality. While 3D AEC organoids incorporate some characteristics of alveolar microarchitecture, they are challenging to analyze, not easily scalable, and their architecture cannot be easily controlled. Lung-on-Chips have successfully reproduced some key features of lung tissue through customized microenvironments with precise mechanical, fluidic, and structural control. However, these models lack the geometry of alveolar lumen. Thus, we developed an Alveoli-on-a-Chip that mimicked alveolar curvature and distension during respiration. We demonstrated that cells were viable and responsive to patterns of tensional forces in our chip. Additionally, through characterization of YAP localization and actin remodeling, we showed that our chip is able to recapitulate mechanosensitive response of AECs to architectural cues. We envision this technology will provide a platform to maintain iPSC derived distal epithelial cells that will be valuable for disease modeling and drug testing.

▼ Com a evolução dos processos de fabricação de circuitos, tem sido possível a integração de sistemas completos em um único chip, os quais são construídos utilizando-se blocos de silício reutilizáveis (núcleos). Com as novas tecnologias de integração, será possível construir sistema com várias dezenas a centenas de núcleos em um mesmo chip. Tais sistemas terão alto poder de processamento, mas irá requerer estruturas de comunicação reutilizáveis com desempenho escalável, o que não é possível de ser obtido com as arquiteturas usadas atualmente, baseadas no barramento. É consenso na comunidade acadêmica e na indústria que a melhor solução para esse problema é baseada em estruturas de interconexão com canais chaveados por roteadores as chamadas Redes-em-Chip ou NoCs (Networks-on-Chip). Atualmente, diversos grupos de pesquisa trabalham investigando diferentes aspectos sobre NoCs e a grande maioria desses trabalhos utiliza ambientes de simulação para exploração arquitetural e avaliação de desempenho. No entanto, em modelos detalhados e com precisão de ciclo, o tempo de simulação é bastante alto, o que limita a quantidade de ciclos a serem simulados. Após a validação e a avaliação baseada em simulação, usualmente, realiza-se a síntese da NoC em FPGA (Field Programmable Gate Array) para realizar a sua validação física. Para tal, é necessário construir um sistema com núcleos conectados à rede e que produzam o tráfego que permitam validar a arquitetura implementada. Este projeto insere-se nesse contexto e busca desenvolver uma infra-estrutura de apoio à pesquisa sobre NoCs por meio da disponibilização de geradores de tráfego sintetizáveis para validação física e para a avaliação de desempenho de NoCs em dispositivos do tipo FPGA. A idéia é que essa infra-instrutora facilite a validação da rede e a realização de experimentos de análise de desempenho mais rapidamente e com maior precisão do que aqueles realizados em ambientes de simulação. Neste trabalho, foram desenvolvidos componentes de hardware e de software para a construção da plataforma proposta
With the evolution of the circuit manufacturer processes is becoming possible to integrate complete systems in a single chip, which are built of reusable silicon-based blocks (cores). With the advent of new integration technologies, it will be possible to build a system with several tens to hundreds of cores in the same chip. Such systems will have a higher processing power, but will require reusable communication structures with scalable performance, which is not possible to be obtained with the current bus-based architectures. The consensus in the academic community and industry is that the best solution for this problem is based on interconnection architectures with switching channels by routers the so called chip-networks or NoCs (Networks-on-Chip). Nowadays, several groups of research investigate different aspects of NoCs and the majority of the work being done uses simulation environments for architectural exploration and performance evaluation. However, in detailed models…

▼ With increased density of modern
System on
Chip(SoC) communication between nodes has become a major problem. Network on
Chip is a novel on
chip communication paradigm to solve this by using highly scalable and efficient packet switched network. The addition of intelligent networking on the
chip adds to the chip’s power consumption thus making management of communication power an interesting and challenging research problem. While VLSI techniques have evolved over time to enable power reduction in the circuit level, the highly dynamic nature of modern large SoC demand more than that. This dissertation explores some innovative dynamic solutions to manage the ever increasing communication power in the post sub-micron era.
Today’s highly integrated SoCs require great level of cross layer optimizations to provide maximum efficiency. This dissertation aims at the dynamic power management problem from top. Starting with a
system level distribution and management down to microarchitecture enhancements were found necessary to deliver maximum power efficiency. A distributed power budget sharing technique is proposed. To efficiently satisfy the established power budget, a novel flow control and throttling technique is proposed. Finally power efficiency of underlying microarchitecture is explored and novel buffer and link management techniques are developed.
All of the proposed techniques yield improvement in power-performance efficiency of the NoC infrastructure.

▼ Traditionally, the computing
system security has been tackled as a software-level problem. With the globalization of the modern semiconductor industry, the design of a
system may involve different parties, especially for the design of
system-on-
chip (SoC) where the high complexity of the design has pushed designers towards using the third-party components that may have been modified with malicious additions without notice of the designer.Such a malicious modification (known as hardware Trojan) may be very small and can escape the scrutiny of the offline circuit-level testing and appear in the final product, which creates a new class of threats that have to be addressed at the hardware level and at the runtime.For SoCs, one of the most vulnerable components is the communication sub-
system, called network-on-
chip (NoC). NoC is able to access all components in the
system and can be an easy target for varied attacks.This thesis aims at the hardware Trojan inside the router of a NoC. When activated, the Trojan can modify passing packets for two different purposes: 1) hijacking packets to harvest information carried by the packet; 2) manipulating the packet to alter the packet data. Both attacks can be tackled by the authentication.But unlike the software level authentication designs in the traditional networking
system, the authentication in NoC has on-
chip overhead issues.The thesis investigates three designs: one for packet hijacking attack detection, one for packet integrity attack detection, and one for Trojan location detection. Each design has a different dominant overhead issue. We, therefore, have a different optimization objective in the design.For the packet hijacking attack detection, we target the overhead on the
chip cost and we present a customization design. For the packet data integrity authentication, the main concern is the bandwidth consumption caused by the large tag size and we introduce a progressive authentication scheme to reduce the bandwidth overhead. For the Trojan location detection, we propose a dynamic search algorithm to minimize the energy consumption.We have conducted a range of extensive experiments on each design, which demonstrate the effectiveness of our design approaches.

▼ One application for lab-on-a-chip (LOC) devices is
performing miniaturized laboratory tests. These devices would be
ideal for point-of-care medical diagnostic applications; however,
many still rely on external bench-top instrumentation. It is
logical to shrink this instrumentation as well. In this
dissertation we discuss a mixed-signal CMOS implementation of the
instrumentation for a genetic analysis LOC. Many genetic analysis
methods rely on the detection of faint fluorescent signals and the
use of high voltages. For this reason, special attention is given
to the design of the photodiode amplifiers and analog-to-digital
converter in a 5V/300V 800nm CMOS process. As part of this work, we
have demonstrated a 2nd-order delta-sigma modulator with a
bandwidth of 1.2kHz, and an SNR of 78dB. Also, we present a novel
differential fluorescent detection scheme for capillary
electrophoresis that uses two photodiodes to dynamically remove the
baseline signal caused by excitation light.

▼ Genetic analysis is not widely used for disease
diagnostics as it is costly and very labour/infrastructure
intensive. We believe that by employing both microelectronic and
microfabrication technologies, we are able to integrate multiple
functionalities into a single, manufacturable, inexpensive
instrument that performs complete genetic analysis protocols. Cost
reduction (i.e. instrument and reagent costs), smaller size, and
higher automation (i.e. lower labour cost) will certainly pave the
way for frequent use of genetic analysis for disease diagnostics.
In this work, we develop technologies and techniques to implement a
low power, inexpensive genetic analysis instrument that performs
extraction of genetic material (e.g. DNA) from clinical samples
(e.g. blood), genetic amplification (via polymerase chain reaction,
PCR) and detection/analysis based on laser induced fluorescence
(LIF)-capillary electrophoresis (CE), real-time PCR (rqPCR), and
melting point analysis (MPA). This project involves integration of
microfluidic and microelectronic technologies as well as molecular
biology protocol adaptation. Furthermore, we develop technologies
required to realize a single-use chip for genetic analysis. This
chip, which is based on monolithic integration of microfluidics and
microelectronics, can ultimately be mass produced using standard
low-cost, high-volume microelectronic wafer fabrication equipment.
We believe that the technologies developed here, along with the
molecular biology protocol adaptations, will result in a low cost
portable instrument that performs genetic analysis much faster,
easier, and less expensive than conventional instruments. This will
certainly revolutionize the use of genetic analysis for disease
diagnostics.

▼ Microdroplet microfluidics has gained much interested in the past decade due to its ability to conduct a wide variety of biological and microfluidic experiments with extremely high repeatability on a mass scale. In particular the ability to culture multiple batches of cells by creating microdroplets with a single encapsulated cell and observe their growth overtime allows for specific conditioning of cells. In addition, when conducting co-culture experiment the induction of a certain stimulus may provide observational rare differences in growth that may be characterized by harnessing a single batch of cells out of thousands of samples.
This thesis first presents a variety of microdroplet microfluidic devices that use specific techniques to sufficiently produce, synchronize, merge, and analyze microdroplets. Although many of the devices are capable of producing stable droplets and somewhat efficient synchronization, the overall merging efficiency for most passive or active merging methods alone is lacking. Improvements on such methods and the incorporation of multiple merging methods can lead to a higher overall merging efficiency and greater droplet stability. Also, multiple droplet detection methods can be employed to analyze cellular growth under different conditions, while passive or active sorting methods can be used to acquire particular microdroplet samples downstream.
The work presented in this thesis entails the characterization and detailed analysis of all aspects of microdroplet microfluidics necessary to adequately produce a microdroplet co-culture device for microbial studies. This includes the incorporation of multiple microdroplet generators for the production of water droplets immersed in oil serving as bio-reactors for cell culture experiments. In addition, multiple microdroplet synchronization devices were tested to sufficiently align multiple trains of droplets for downstream merging using a variety of passive, active, or combination merging methods. In particular, the use of an electric field can cause destabilization of the surfactant surrounding a microdroplet and allow for the formation of a liquid bridge. The formation of this liquid bridge in conjunction with passive merging methods can lead to droplet electrocoalescence. The incorporation of a more uniform electric field that reduces the angle between the droplet dipole moment and E-field can lead to better droplet merging while reducing voltage and frequency requirements observed in previously publications. The testing, observation, and optimization of such aspects of microdroplet microfluidics are crucial for the advancement and production of sound microdroplet culture devices for a variety of applications including the analysis of dangerous pathogenic substances, drug testing or delivery, and genetic studies.

▼ Microwave technology presents tremendous potential as a remote-sensing technology for a wide
range of applications spanning from life science research to food industries, pharmaceutical research,
and new material discoveries. Integration of microwave sensing with microfluidics for sample
processing makes it an ideal choice for point of care applications highly demanded in resourcelimited
areas. The vast majority of the existing microwave sensors are manufactured using
sophisticated soft lithography technology which has largely limited its development and applications.
There is a large demand for developing new fabrication approaches for the feasibility of mass
production at a reasonable cost.
In this thesis, a new, yet simple method is developed to fabricate split ring resonator (SRR) based
microwave sensors. A simple RLC model is used to characterize the resonant frequency of the SRR,
and the equations for calculating the RLC’s resonant frequency is modified to predict the SRR’s
resonant frequency base on its geometry. The design is also validated by comparing the simulation
results obtained using the commercial software HFSS, and measurements from a real SRR developed
sensor. The double ring structure was fabricated onto a printed circuit board by using the industrial
photolithograph method. Coating with PDMS and epoxy layer as the passivation layer was tested and
compared.
Two testing approaches using the SRR sensor developed in this thesis are implemented in this
thesis. Their performance for real-time sensing is characterized by applying it to differentiate
chemical diary samples and other chemical solutions. In the dipping mode, the sensor is dipped in the
material under test (MUT), and in the microfluidic channel mode, the sensor is integrated with a
microchannel. The MUT is characterized by analyzing the spectrum data of the reflection coefficient
as the function of frequencies. Experimental results indicate that this sensor is capable of
differentiating various liquid samples such as DI water, ethanol, isopropanol, oil and salt solutions.
Linear relationships between the resonant frequency and the concentrations of chemical composites
are also observed in ethanol solutions (0-90%), and salt solutions (NaCl). This sensor is also used to
differentiate various milk samples and milk dilutions and it is capable of distinguishing milks with
different fat percentages and protein contents.
A fully customized vector network analyzer (VNA) is also developed. The circuit structure is
designed by referring the existing customized VNAs that were implemented in previous work by
iv
other lab colleagues. Modifications are made including replacement of the microwave source, using
Arduino platform to perform controlling and data acquisition, addition of a harmonic filtering device,
and development of a calibration algorithm. The device is validated by comparing its measuring result
with a commercial VNA. The customized VNA is able to output a similar spectrum pattern as the
commercial VNA,…
