Contact-free physiological monitoring of cardiorespiratory states using radar and optical sensors

Author(s): Gašper Slapničar (Author), Mitja Luštrek (Supervisor), Wenjin Wang (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2024

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Omnipresence of sensor-equipped devices spurred rapid development of e-health and mhealth applications in the past decades. Despite their wide-spread adoption in the form of wearables, such devices are ultimately not a universal or ideal solution for regular health monitoring due to their reliance on battery, requiring skin contact and general …

Plasma-enabled design of hybrid carbon nanostructures for energy storage applications

Author(s): Neelakandan Marath Santhosh (Author), Uroš Cvelbar (Supervisor), Gregor Filipič (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2021

Type: Doctoral dissertation

Carbon, one of the most abundant materials in the earth crust, has gained research attention owing to its high structural stability, electrical conductivity, optical and thermal properties. Additionally, the possibility of tailoring carbon materials at nanoscales makes them promising materials for many applications, including energy storage, sensors, biomedical and electronics. …

Processing-Dependent Broadband Dielectric Properties of KTaO3 Ceramics, Films and KTa0.6Nb0.4O3 Films

Author(s): Sebastjan Glinšek (Author), Marija Kosec (Supervisor), Zdravko Kutnjak (Co-Supervisor)

Year: 2012

Type: Doctoral dissertation

KTaO3 belongs to the group of incipient ferroelectrics, which are materials important from the fundamental, as well as from the applications, point of view. It is well known in its single-crystal form; however, the processing of technologically interesting ceramics and thin films is a challenging task and knowledge of their …
