Picowatt Resolution Calorimetry for Micro and Nanoscale Energy Transport Studies.
(2014)
Precise quantification of energy transport is key to obtaining insights into a wide range of phenomena across various disciplines including physics, chemistry, biology and engineering. This thesis describes development of ...
Mixed-Cell Methods for Diffusion Problems in Multiphase Systems.
(2014)
We simulate diffusion in multimaterial systems with a cell-centered Eulerian mesh in two dimensions.
A system with immiscible fluids contains sharp interfaces. An Eulerian mesh is fixed in space and does not move with the ...
Directed Searches for Continuous Gravitational Waves from Spinning Neutron Stars in Binary Systems.
(2014)
Gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory (LIGO) seek to observe ripples in space predicted by General Relativity.
Black holes, neutron stars, supernovae, the Big Bang and ...
