Investigating Aqueous-Phase Adsorption for Enhancing (Electro)catalytic Hydrogenation
(2023)
Bio-oil derived from biomass and plastic wastes is a promising substitute to traditional petroleum for use as transportation fuels and chemical precursors and as such it has the potential to combat global warming. However, ...
Engineering Protein-Drug Conjugates for Solid Tumor Immunotherapy
(2022)
Antibody therapies have dominated biologics for many years. The innate specificity and long half-lives of these proteins provide a sustained response in many disease indications, including cancer. However, solid tumors can ...
A Bidentate Ligand Featuring Ditopic Lewis Acids in the Second Sphere for Selective Substrate Capture and Activation
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03-20)
We present a ligand platform featuring appended ditopic Lewis acids to facilitate capture/activation of diatomic substrates. We show that incorporation of two 9-borabicyclo[3.3.1]nonane (9-BBN) units on a single carbon ...
Engineering the Flow of Energy and Charge Carriers in Hybrid Plasmonic Systems and Catalysts
(2022)
The emission of greenhouse gases due to the combustion of fossil fuels (i.e., coal, oil, and natural gas) is unanimously recognized as the primary driver of climate change. One attractive option for shifting away from a ...
Scalable Networks of Engineered Extracellular Matrix as Biomimetic Tissue Culture Models with Defined Heterogeneity
(2021)
The extracellular matrix (ECM) is a complex amalgam of proteins and polysaccharides that actively influences cell fate via biochemical and biophysical cues. Fibronectin (Fn) is the bedrock of many native interstitial ECM, ...
Revolutionizing Energetic Materials Discovery and Design: The Role of Data Science and Machine Learning
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc., 2023-03)
Super-Strong Hydrogel Composites Reinforced with PBO Nanofibers for Cartilage Replacement
(Wiley Periodicals, Inc.Imperial College Press, 2023-02)
Cartilage replacement materials exhibiting a set of demanding properties such as high water content, high mechanical stiffness, low friction, and excellent biocompatibility are quite difficult to achieve. Here, ...
Assembly Behavior and Thermodynamic Stability of Complex Colloidal Superstructures
(2023)
This thesis present computational studies on the self-assembly and stability of complex colloidal superstructures, including colloidal quasicrystals and polyhedron nanoparticle superlattices. The first work presents a ...
The Self-Assembly of Bidisperse Colloids
(2022)
New technologies call for the development of new materials.
One new type of material with exciting electronic, magnetic and optical properties are colloidal crystals.
Binary colloidal crystals, which incorporate two different ...
Engineering Multifunctional Nanoparticles: Applied Nanoscale Therapeutics
(2022)
Decades of research towards the development of nanomedicines have, to date, yielded minimal
clinical impact. Focused particularly on the treatment of cancer, the relatively low
number of pursued technologies to reach the ...
