Spatial Coupling of Biological Oscillators: Towards a Quantitative Understanding of Mitotic Waves
(2023)
Over the years, various models were developed to capture the mechanism behind the mitotic clock. In short, the clock network centers on the cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk1), such that its oscillatory rising and falling ...
Ab Initio Many-Body Theory for Solids Based on the Green's Function Formalism
(2022)
Electronic structure of materials from first principles is essential for one-to-one comparisons between theories and experiments. However, the many-body effects resulting from electron correlation and their interplay with ...
Continuum-Scale Modeling of Rechargeable Batteries
(2020)
During the operation of a rechargeable battery, the electrochemical reactions occur at the interface between the electrolyte and the active material in the electrode. The electrochemical performance of such batteries is ...
Deep and Periodically Driven Optical Lattices for Fundamental Physics
(2023)
Fundamental physics is concerned with the problems of defining fundamental constants, units of measurement, and searching for new forces and aspects of matter. Usually, the best way to resolve these inquiries is to have a ...
Indirect Searches for Physics Beyond the Standard Model
(2022)
Despite the overwhelming success of the Standard Model of particle physics, there are several outstanding issues, perhaps most notably the lack of a dark matter candidate. In this thesis, we develop novel astrophysical ...
Nuclear Modification of J/ and ' Production at 120 Gev at E906 / SeaQuest
(2023)
The E906/SeaQuest experiment at Fermi National Accelerator Laboratory took
scattering data with the 120 GeV Main Injector Proton beam on liquid hydrogen and
deuterium targets, along with carbon, iron, and tungsten targets. ...
Growth, Characterization and Assembly of Lead Chalcogenide Nanosemiconductors for Ionizing Radiation Sensors
(2022)
The demand for precise and efficient nuclear radiation detection has increased dramatically, particularly in numerous scientific disciplines, as well as homeland security and medical imaging applications. Modern methods ...
Mechanisms of Extreme Dynamics in Femtosecond Laser Interaction With Materials; Ultrafast Mass Transport, Desorption, Formation of Periodic Structures, and Oxidation
(2021)
This thesis focused the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for different morphologies that emerge upon ultrafast irradiation. These morphological changes include the formation laser-induced periodic surface ...
Statistical Physics of Design
(2020)
Modern life increasingly relies on complex products that perform a variety of functions. The key difficulty of creating such products lies not in the manufacturing process, but in the design process. However, design problems ...
Nuclear Modification of J/psi and Drell-Yan Production at the E906/SeaQuest Experiment
(2020)
A measurement of the suppression of J/ψ meson production in heavy ion interactions relative to their production in p+p interactions has been suggested to be an important probe in identifying the possible phase transition ...
