Complex Crystallization Pathways Analyzed in a Continuous Feature Space
(2021)
The ability to engineer the kinetic and thermodynamic processes by which nanoparticles and colloids form crystals would open new possibilities for materials design. Simulations, coupled with data science and machine learning, ...
Exploring the Standard and Extended Cosmological Models Using High-Precision Large Scale Observations
(2021)
Modern precision cosmology is undergoing rapid development thanks to the measurements obtained from large scale cosmological surveys. This information both elucidates our knowl- edge about the universe and brings in new ...
Europa's Plasma Interaction with Jupiter's Magnetosphere: Characterizing Variability of the Plasma Interaction with Multi-Fluid MHD Simulations
(2021)
Europa, one of Jupiter’s Galilean moons, is embedded in the region of space dominated by Jupiter’s magnetic field known as Jupiter’s magnetosphere. The interaction of Jupiter’s magnetospheric plasma and magnetic field with ...
Emergence of Antibiotic Resistance in Microbial Populations with Spatial Heterogeneity
(2021)
The emergence of antibiotic resistance in microbial populations is a complex evolutionary process dependent on a large number of factors, both mechanistic and external. We have modeled spatial heterogeneity as one such ...
Exciton Transport and Strain Engineering in Atomically Thin Semiconductors
(2021)
The explosive energy demand by the communication and information technologies sector in the age of artificial intelligence (AI) calls for increasingly efficient electronics. One promising alternative to the inefficient ...
Rigidity and Elasticity beyond Isostaticity
(2021)
Isotatic mechanical structures, where numbers of constraints arising from physical interactions balance the number of internal degrees of freedom, are on the verge of mechanical instability. Isostatic structures exhibit ...
Nonequilibrium Dynamics of Strongly Correlated Systems
(2021)
In this thesis, we describe methods for solving quantum impurity models out of equilibrium, and consider several applications of these methods.
Quantum impurity models describe systems in which a small subsystem (the ...
Probing Dynamic Excitations in Novel Quantum Magnets Using Raman Spectroscopy
(2021)
Quantum materials are a class of materials where charge, orbit, spin, and lattice degrees of freedoms (DOFs) entangle to give rise to novel phases. A major subset of quantum materials, quantum magnets, span a broad spectrum ...
Quantum Light Scattering in Disordered and Structured Media
(2021)
Understanding the complex interactions of the quantum light with different media provides valuable insights into potential applications in quantum tomography, microscopy, circuit and network design, and imaging. This thesis ...
Diagrammatic Methods for Strongly-Correlated Electrons in Realistic Systems
(2021)
This thesis is devoted to the development of numerical methods for correlated
electrons in realistic systems based on perturbation theories using Feynman
diagrams.
Electron correlations in realistic systems give rise to a ...
