A bidirectional MEMS thermal actuator as the building block for a programmable metamaterial
This thesis presents a novel bidirectional MEMS thermal actuator that is intended to be implemented as the building block for a microarchitectured material. The successful proof of concept demonstrates the potential for a new level of miniaturization for the technology that would improve existing …

A plasma-wall interaction model for the erosion of materials under ion bombardment
… they cannot predict the millimeter-scale surface features that develop after prolonged exposure. In this work, we address this issue by introducing a plasma-material interaction model able to capture the evolution of surface features at the macroscopic scale on materials exposed to plasma over a …
