Spectroscopic Studies on the Molecular Structural Changes of Plastics and Plasticizers at Model Environmental Interfaces.
(2015)
The mainstream introduction of plastics poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) and poly(styrene) (PS) has been integral to the formation of modern urban infrastructures and the advancement of medical, electronic, and industrial ...
Microfabricated Optofluidic Ring Resonators for Sensitive, High-Speed Detection of Volatile Organic Compounds
(2015)
The development of microfabricated sensors and sensor arrays for volatile organic compounds (VOC) and their evaluation as detectors in micro-scale gas chromatographic (μGC) instrumentation are described. Initial efforts ...
Nanoparticle Induced Cell Magneto-Rotation for the Multiplexed Monitoring of Morphology, Stress and Drug Sensitivity of Suspended Single Cancer Cells.
(2015)
The metastatic process of a cancer relies on the transformation of some of the primary tumor cells into cells capable of migrating through the Extra-Cellular Matrix (ECM), surrounding the tumor, into the bloodstream and ...
Rydberg Molecules and Circular Rydberg states in Cold Atom Clouds.
(2015)
In this dissertation I investigate cold Rydberg atoms and molecules in which the angular-momentum character of the quantum states involved strongly influences their properties and dynamics. In the first part I focus on ...
