Discrete Ordinates Methods for Transport Problems with Curved Spatial Grids.
(2015)
The method of characteristics (MOC) has been favored for many recent whole core transport codes; some current research codes are: the nTRACER code from Seoul National University, the MPACT code from the University of ...
Plasma Discharges in Gas Bubbles in Liquid Water: Breakdown Mechanisms and Resultant Chemistry.
(2015)
The use of atmospheric pressure plasmas in gases and liquids for purification of liquids has been investigated by numerous researchers, and is highly attractive due to their strong potential as a disinfectant and sterilizer. ...

High Resolution Lithography-Compatible Micro-Electro-Discharge Machining of Bulk Metal Foils for Micro-Electro-Mechanical Systems.
(2009)
The application of batch mode micro-electro-discharge machining (µEDM) to the fabrication of micro-electro-mechanical systems has opened the door to lithographically compatible precision machining of all bulk metals. High ...
Strategies for Optimizing Information Extraction from Cortical Recordings.
(2011)
Penetrating neural probe technologies provide researchers with the capability to stimulate and record chemical and electrical signals in the brain. While present technology has yielded significant insight into the function ...
Strong Shock Waves in Highly Porous Materials
(2019)
Strong shock waves traversing through porous materials occur in a broad range of applications. Foamed plastics are a popular material in many high-energy-density physics (HEDP) experiment due to the low, tunable density, ...
Use of Hybrid Surrogate in Sampling Process for Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE) applied on Multivariable Problems
(2022)
This work focuses on the improvement of Kriging in Design and Analysis of Computer Experiments (DACE) for multivariable problems through a specific sampling process that couples two methods already known in the literature: ...
Understanding the Optical and Photophysical Properties of Organic and Hybrid Macromolecules and Polymers for Solar Cell Application
(2021)
Organic solar cell materials represent a better sustainable alternative relative to inorganic materials in terms of lower cost, ease of large-scale processing, better absorptivity, ease of tunability, and unique flexibility ...
Strategies for CO2 Reduction through Proactive Removal and Utilization
(2022)
Limiting the global temperature rise within 1.5-2°C above the preindustrial era would require mass-scale CO2 removal from the atmosphere. This dissertation explores novel strategies to lower the cost and accelerate the ...
Synthesis and Characterization of Microporous Coordination Polymers as Adsorbents for CO2 Capture.
(2012)
The accumulation of CO2 in the Earth’s atmosphere is an important environmental issue, and coal-fired power plants are significant contributors to anthropogenic CO2 emissions. The capture of CO2 from these facilities via ...
