Passive phloem loading and long-distance transport in a synthetic tree-on-a-chip
… this process is the loading of sugars from photosynthetic cells to the export conduit (the phloem). In this thesis, we developed a synthetic microfluidic osmotic pump mimicking the mechanism of passive phloem loading, where sugars are transported by diffusion from a sugar reservoir to the phloem. …

Deep Learning-Based Part Labeling of Tree Components in Point Cloud Data
… and pipelines for segmentation and labeling of tree components. This thesis presents a novel pipeline that employs deep learning models, such as the Point-Voxel Transformer (PVT), and synthetic tree point clouds for automatic tree part-segmentation. The pipeline leverages the expertise of …

Scalable Synthetic Trees for Transpiration-Powered Hydraulic Systems
… design and fabrication, and practical uses of synthetic trees that replicate the transpiration mechanisms of natural trees. The first chapter provides an in-depth explanation of how natural trees utilize hydraulic mechanisms to draw water from the soil, through their roots, and up to their …

Nature-inspired systems exploiting porous media for multiphase flows
… material systems: multi-layered feathers and synthetic trees. (1) How multilayered feathers enhance underwater superhydrophobicity. Inspired by ducks, here we demonstrate that air pockets can withstand up to five times more hydrostatic pressure when using stacked layers of synthetic feathers …
