The multi-spectral signal properties of multiple reference optical coherence tomography
(NUI Galway, 2019-07-05)
Efforts to reduce the size and costs of optical coherence tomography systems (OCT) for consumer
applications, in general, focus on Fourier-domain OCT, due to its potential to be integrated on an optical chip, implementing ...
Advancements in structural and functional imaging using Fourier domain optical coherence tomography
(NUI Galway, 2020-07-29)
Optical Coherence Tomography (OCT) is a non-invasive optical imaging modality based on low coherence interferometry that enables high resolution, cross sectional imaging in biological tissues and materials. One major ...
Radiobiological modelling of nonsmall-cell lung cancer: A tumour control probability perspective
(NUI Galway, 2021-06-15)
Radiobiology has developed a methodology to evaluate the radiation response of a wide spectrum of cell lines, which can be used to validate a radiation response using mathematical models. The fundamental motivation for ...
Hygroscopicity of marine aerosol: Closure, long term observation and cloud condensation potential
(NUI Galway, 2021-09-18)
Marine aerosols have a profound impact on the global climate system by scattering solar radiation and serving
as seeds for cloud formation. However, the marine aerosols in current models are still poorly represented
and ...
Photoacoustic imaging with clinical, preclinical, and quantitative applications
(NUI Galway, 2020-11-20)
Photoacoustic (PA) imaging (PAI) is an emerging biomedical imaging modality that combines optical absorption contrast with ultrasonic resolution and imaging depth. Major research has been carried out into PAI in recent ...
Depth of field reduction for miniature-camera imaging
(NUI Galway, 2020-08-25)
This thesis investigates the reduction of depth-of- field for miniature camera systems, such as the ones embedded in smartphones. The work on digital shallow depth-of- field is already mature and implemented in most modern ...
Decoding the kinematic and ionisation structure of axisymmetric nebulae
(NUI Galway, 2021-08-04)
The aim of the thesis was to develop a code and pipeline for generating 3D photoionisation models of axisymmetric nebulae to better understand their ob- served structure and composition. This was achieved through a new ...
Optical variability in Late-M and Early-L dwarfs
(NUI Galway, 2021-05-05)
Brown dwarfs and low-mass stars together comprise the group of galactic objects known as ultracool dwarfs. A number have been detected as radio sources – in some cases, emitting periodic radio pulses synchronised to the ...
Laser Ablation for Microfluidic Applications: Simulation and Experimental Analysis of Microfluidic Geometries Fabricated with an Excimer Laser Incorporating a Novel Intelligent Pinhole Mask
(2011-09-30)
Excimer lasers have proven to be a useful tool for the precision removal of thin layers of polymer material. With the advent of polymer microfluidics, excimer lasers may have a role to play in the production of small volume ...
Radiobiological modelling in Radiation Oncology
(2011-09-30)
Biological models potentially o er the ability to predict the response of tumour control to irradiation. A tumour control probability (TCP) model with excellent radiobiological pedigree was developed and examined to predict ...
