title: Wide-angle Beamscanning Gradient Index Lens Antennas for Wireless Communications

description: The trend in wireless communication is moving towards higher frequencies, offering increased data rates and broader spectrum availability. However, these benefits come with the challenge of higher path loss, necessitating antenna systems with highly directional beams. Consequently, antennas require high gain, greater than 20 dBi, but with narrow beamwidths, making beam scanning capabilities essential to cover wide fields-of-view, exceeding ±50°. Additionally, a broad operational bandwidth ($&gt;$50\%) is preferred to support various applications.

This dissertation aims to design a high-gain antenna with wide-angle beam scanning across a broadband. Considering the need for massive deployment, the proposed antenna should also be low-cost and energy-efficient. Gradient Refractive Index (GRIN) antennas present a promising solution, meeting performance and constraint requirements. However, improvement in beam scanning range and scan loss is needed.

To address these challenges, this dissertation introduces a novel lens impedance matching structure and a lens ray tracing simulation technique. Both designs then enable two types of beam scanning lenses. By reformulating taper theory, the impedance matching tapers achieve broadband matching from 8 to 78 GHz with a uniform physical layer length. The ray tracing solver incorporates the complex electrical field, allowing evaluation of lens radiation patterns within a minute for lenses with arbitrary shapes and permittivity profiles.

Using these tools, a 3D compound lens was designed with a fast hybrid optimization workflow involving three solvers, conducting over 50,000 simulations in four days. The resulting lens design achieves an average scan loss exponent of $n_s = 2.17$ within ±55° across the Ka-Band. Additionally, a proposed phased array fed lens (PAFL) demonstrates improved beam scanning capabilities by using a small number of feeds with nonuniform amplitude and phase excitation. Two PAFL designs were developed: one with a 0.7$\lambda$ spacing feed array, requiring around half the feeds compared to the standard 0.7$\lambda$ spacing, which reduces cost and power consumption while improving $n_s$ from 5 to 3.6 at 29 GHz, and another with a broadband feed array that achieves beam scanning improvements from 15 GHz to 50 GHz.

title: Imagining Queer Power: Colonialism and the Queer Mentor in Fiction, 1790–1850

description: During the Romantic era, writers, politicians, and educators alike wrestled with the ideals of liberty in the face of the realities of slavery and the expanding borders of the British Empire. This project traces the imbrications of those realities with queer mentoring, an educational relationship built on dominance and desire between women in fiction of the Romantic Era. The three core chapters successively address the emergence of the queer mentor in Eliza Fenwick’s Secresy (1795) and the anonymous Woman of Colour (1808); the height of her power in Maria Edgeworth’s Belinda (1801) and Jane Austen’s Emma (1815); and the decline of her influence in Charlotte Brontë’s Villette (1853) and Hannah Bond’s The Bondwoman’s Narrative (1850s). In the opening chapter, the queer mentor advocates for abolition and freedom from tyranny while relying on enslavement and colonial wealth in order to pursue other women. The queer mentor in the next chapter enables relationships between white couples that will keep colonial wealth within the borders of England. In the final chapter, as the heroines move away from Britain and from close ties to economic and racial power, the queer relationships they pursue also diverge from the strength of the queer mentor toward segmented communal and educational relationships.

The argument of this dissertation is that the Romantic era gave rise to a new model of the queer mentor in the novel who paradoxically asserts power through her reliance on colonial mechanisms and metaphors of dominance, while expanding the possibilities of queer intimacy and futurity through her control over narration. This project takes up the challenge of both utopian and non-utopian theories of queer history, recognizing the harms of queer mentoring in its ties to colonialism as well as the queer mentor’s liberatory narrative potential. In doing so, it addresses a key gap in scholarship at the intersection of queerness, colonialism, and education in the Romantic era. The primary texts freshly investigated here hint at a way forward through the injustices of dominance by naming the dangers of power and by narrating new horizons of community between women across time.

title: Narrating Biblical Orients: Genre, Gender, and Empire in Eighteenth-Century Old Testament Narrative Poetry

description: This project analyzes a group of eighteenth-century poems, for the first time, as a cohesive genre. These poems are identified by a consistent set of shared characteristics: each uses a narrative from the Hebrew Scriptures as a source text, is written by a woman in eighteenth-century Britain, and sutures together literary modes, and image archives, especially depictions of and literary modes from the East. Recognizing this collection of poems as an important sub-genre deepens and clarifies our understanding of the broader literary landscape in the period, specifically about the permeability of genre in this century and the ways that eighteenth-century writers were imagining and deploying images of the ancient eastern world to grapple with their evolving identities. 
 Three chapters trace the development of the oriental mode, especially concentrating on the prominence of self-conscious narration, the relationship between public and private forms of power, and the use of sentiment. The first establishes Elizabeth Singer Rowe’s The History of Joseph (1737) as the paradigmatic poem of the genre, with Anne Finch’s “Poor Man’s Lamb” (1713) serving as a second case study. These poems share an emphasis on the efficacy of narrative and the inextricability of public and private, and they each capitalize on nascent tropes of Orientalism to encourage certain kinds of moral behavior. The second chapter shows how the oriental mode unfolds at mid-century, especially its use of the tyrant figure to invite readers into deeper engagement with Scripture and at the same time call attention to power imbalances; it also examines how these poems participate in the tradition of sentimental literature. The final chapter focuses on late examples of the Old Testament narrative poem, which spotlight a morally dubious character, though the poems continue to affirm personal and collective morality, and connects Old Testament narrative poems with theater trends.

title: "Holy Huswifry": Devotion and the Domestic in English Atlantic Poetry, 1643-1725

description: This dissertation examines the relationship between devotional practice and domestic experience in English colonial poetry from 1643 to 1725. I argue that New England puritan poetry responded to settler colonialism, imperialism, and doctrinal debates through imagery rooted in intimate and familiar settings, objects, and relationship, adapting the language of domesticity in the poetry of old England, from poets like George Herbert and Francis Quarles, for settler-colonial contexts. Following a contextualizing introduction, chapter two shows how Roger Williams’s poetry describes the English domestic space as a site of spiritual complacency in the settler colonial context. Chapter three, on the other hand, argues that Michael Wigglesworth’s poetry relies on and disrupts an assumed domestic setting to generate spiritual affect. Chapter four outlines how Anne Bradstreet uses maternal metaphors to describe divine activity and biblical metaphors for divinity to describe her labor as mother, and chapter five identifies how Edward Taylor describes divine action in terms of the sustaining labor of housewifery. Finally, in a forward-looking coda, I turn to Emily Dickinson’s concept of God as neighbor, outlining briefly how a poet at once resistant to and fully-steeped in the legacy of New England puritanism adapts domestic paradigms for new contexts. Employing methodologies linked to domesticity, devotional practice, and material culture, my project redefines ways of thinking about transmission and influence in Anglo-American colonial poetry. To that end, my project reveals the flow of poetic form and content across the Atlantic during the early American period, identifying the real and imagined networks in which devotional poets wrote and the relevance of domestic materialities to Anglo-American religious experience.

title: Narratives of Conversion and Conversion of Narrative in Pre-Modern England

description: This dissertation documents a narrative feature common to a number of medieval English poetic texts. The texts studied here exhibit what I call conversion of narrative. This is a process by which a poetic narrative establishes and follows certain “generic” contours that are secular, not concerned with the supernatural, spiritual dimension of humanity. The secular narrative then fails according to its own internal logic, and radically shifts to have a sacred, often explicitly prayerful, conclusion. This abruptness is not due to narrative inconsistency but is a narrative form in itself. In conversion of narrative, secular narrative forms must be explored and proved insufficient before a sacred, contemplative narrative frame can be effectively established, paradoxically showing the need for the secular even in this sacred-facing narrative form. This project will demonstrate one mode by which opposites in tension are dynamically reconciled: how timelessness irrupts into time, how one meaning emerges from and directs another, and how the sacred infuses and transforms a secular text and context. 
Using theoretical interlocutors like Augustine, Boethius, and Ricoeur, the dissertation explores texts that exhibit conversion of narrative in medieval England, across a long chronology. Beginning with Old English texts like The Wanderer and The 
Battle of Maldon, passing through early English romances like Sir Orfeo and Sir Degaré, the dissertation ends in the mid-fifteenth century, with the poetic compilation of Lincoln, Cathedral Library MS 91. This dissertation demonstrates through its broad analysis the chronological range of conversion of narrative, and its ubiquity as an available formal choice for poets in medieval England, though conversion of narrative is in fact neither ubiquitous, nor even common. This form of narrative structure has hitherto not been identified as such and could rightly be considered alongside other literary-rhetorical and symbolic forms, like allegory, figura, riddle, and fable, to name a few examples. This dissertation contributes to growing scholarly subjects like poetics of contraries, paradox, and the relationship between literary rhetoric and theology in the medieval literary world. It aims to show both an additional nuance in the phenomenon of medieval religion, as well as how contemporary scholarship might approach the deeply spiritualized nature even of “secular” artifacts in medieval culture.
