Directed Evolution of Stabilized Peptides with Bacterial Display
(2020)
Interactions between proteins govern cellular and the body’s states, including aberrant interactions found in diseases such as in cancers and infections. Small molecule drugs are not ideal in targeting these interactions ...
Analyzing the Stability and Kinetics of Ceramic Electrolyte/Organic Electrolyte Interfaces for LI Metal Batteries
(2020)
The need for high-energy-density Li-ion batteries has provided the impetus to replace graphite anodes with Li metal anodes. Unfortunately, the liquid electrolytes (LEs) used in state-of-the-art (SOA) Li-ion batteries are ...
From Small Molecules to Polymers: Linear and Nonlinear Optical Properties of Organic Conjugated Systems for Solar Applications
(2018)
The world is seeing rapid population growth and with this growth, energy demands have soared. Traditionally, fossil fuels have been used to meet these demands, but extraction of fossil fuels is detrimental to the environment, ...
Purely Organic Triplet Emitters: From Fundamental Molecular Design to Performance Amplification in Modern Applications
(2022)
Emissive materials are the essential functional components in many modern and emerging technologies such as organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), solid-state lighting, sensors, and data encryption. Metal-free purely organic ...
Understanding the Solution Phase Chemistry and Solid State Thermodynamic Behavior of Pharmaceutical Cocrystals.
(2012)
This dissertation focuses on the thermodynamic stability and solubility of pharmaceutical cocrystals. Specifically, the objectives are to; (i) investigate the influence of coformer properties such as solubility and ionization ...
Digging Deeper into the Methods of Computational Chemistry
(2020)
This dissertation applies a skeptical but hopeful analytical paradigm and the tools of linear algebra, numerical methods, and machine learning to a diversity of problems in computational chemistry. When the foundation ...
Towards Automated Epigenetics: Sample Processing with Droplet Microfluidics
(2018)
Epigenome regulates gene expression without changing the order of nucleotide sequences in DNA and has been confirmed to be involved in enormous numbers of biological processes including cell proliferation and differentiation, ...
The Plasma Water Reactor: A Geometric Approach to Scaling Electric Discharges for Water Treatment
(2019)
Advanced oxidation processes (AOPs) are established disinfection methods that can remove contaminants of emerging concern (CECs) by producing hydroxyl radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS) in situ. Production ...
Investigation of the Optical Properties of Novel Organic Macromolecules for Solar Cell Applications.
(2015)
The search for renewable energy sources to replace fossil fuel has been a major research focus in the energy sector. The sun, with its vast amount of energy, remains the most abundant and ubiquitous energy source that far ...
Probing Heat Transport and Energy Conversion at the Atomic and Single Molecule Scale
(2018)
The study of heat transport and energy conversion constitutes an important subject in modern physics and engineering research. The widely-applied Fourier’s and Planck’s laws have proven to be very useful to describe heat ...
