This site describes on-going research and graduate studies in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at Old
Dominion University, in Norfolk, Virginia. These pages give references to the research being conducted by
Dr. Amin Dharamsi in non-intrusive laser based sensors. The research
involves use of different types of lasers, including
tunable diode lasers, in arrangements utilizing the principles of spectroscopy.
Publications on modulation spectroscopy using single-mode diode lasers, including Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting
Lasers (VCSELs), and on other research are given. The latter includes
research on optoacoustics, excited state absorption
spectroscopy, and interaction of sub-picosecond laser pulses with semiconductors.
There are opportunities for suitably qualified and
highly motivated students who want to pursue the Ph.D. in electrical
engineering. Research and teaching assistantships as well as fellowships
are available.
This site also gives details on students who have either obtained, or are still
pursuing their doctorates in electrical engineering. All students have received
financial aid in the form of one or more of the following: research
assistantships, teaching assistantships, doctoral fellowships.
