Optical and Electrical Modeling of Three Dimensional Dye Sensitized Solar Cells

P. Guo[1]
[1]Northwestern University, Evanston, IL, USA

Dye sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have received tremendous attention as alternative photon harvesting devices. While the sintered TiO2 nanoparticle network attached with dye molecules achieves efficient photon absorption, the electrons have to diffuse through the long TiO2 network to ... Read More

Inverse Model for Solving Partial Differential Equations Using a Stochastic Method and COMSOL Multiphysics®

E. Khosrowshahli[1], A. Jeremic[1]
[1]McMaster University, Hamilton, ON, Canada

Partial differential equations (PDEs) govern many phenomena in nature. Solving optimization problems which comprises the solution of large number of PDEs, is expensive concerning time and memory. Therefore, to reduce the solution cost, original problem is transformed to a corresponding ... Read More

Computational design and analysis of Microwave Tomography in Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Priyadarshini Natarajan [1], Rajkumar ElagiriRamalingam[1]
[1]Division of Biomedical Engineering, School of Biosciences and Technology, VIT University, Tamil Nadu, India

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a condition where a blood vessel in the brain ruptures and causes internal bleeding leading to hemorrhagic stroke. 800 in every 100,000 people suffer from stroke each year and it's one of the major causes of mortality worldwide. Diagnosis involves Neurological ... Read More
