Topics in Networks: Community Detection, Random Graphs, and Network Epidemiology.
(2012)
In this dissertation, we present research on several topics in networks including community detection, random graphs, and network epidemiology.
Traditional stochastic blockmodels may produce inaccurate fits to complex ...
Two-Dimensional Electronic Spectroscopy of the Photosystem II D1D2-cyt.b559 Reaction Center Complex.
(2010)
Two-dimensional electronic spectroscopy (2DES) is a powerful new technique for examining the electronic and vibronic couplings and dynamics of chemical, semiconductor, and biological samples. We present several technical ...
Measurement of the Inclusive Forward-Backward tt Production Asymmetry and its Rapidity Dependence dAfb/d(y).
(2010)
Early measurements of a large forward-background asymmetry at the CDF and D0 experiments at Fermilab have generated much recent interest, but were hampered by large uncertainties. We present here a new measurement of the ...
New Models of Dark Matter and Prospects for Measurements.
(2011)
This thesis covers a range of topics in model building and measurements with an
interest in solving the dark matter problem.
We begin with a model where the dark matter properties today are different than
they were at the ...
Simple Processes in Complex Places.
(2010)
Identical stochastic processes in different topologies can exhibit qualitatively distinct behavior. In complex environments, such as social or neuronal networks, rich structural details can lead to very different outcomes ...
Dynamics of the Top Quark Beyond the Standard Model.
(2011)
The top quark, the heaviest fermion that has been observed, is an important particle in understanding the origin of electroweak symmetry breaking. This thesis is about various collider phenomenologies of the top quark and ...
Fluorine-Enhanced Room Temperature Luminescence of Er-Doped Crystalline Silicon
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2022-12)
Nonlinear Optical Enhancement from Aggregate and Ensemble Effects in Organic Systems.
(2011)
Organic optoelectronics provide several advantages over traditional Si based systems. These advantages are typically cost, ease of manufacturing, and environmental impact. One area of particular interest in the field of ...
Global Hall Magnetohydrodynamics and Coupled Fluid-Kinetic Simulations of Mercury's Dayside Magnetopause Dynamics
(2023)
Mercury possesses a miniature yet dynamic magnetosphere driven primarily by the solar wind through magnetic reconnection. Because Mercury is 60% closer to the Sun than Earth, its magnetosphere routinely experiences stronger ...
Coherence Recovery in Random Environments Using the Autoproduct
(2023)
The study of wave propagation is a mature field of research with numerous avenues of theoretical, numerical, and experimental investigation. A prominent application is remote sensing, where recorded acoustic or electromagnetic ...
