Metal-free purely organic phosphors are an emerging class of room-temperature phosphorescence (RTP) materials and have attracted great attention over the past decade, owning to their potentials in a variety of advanced ...
Development and Application of Numerical Methods in Biomolecular Solvation
(2021)
This work addresses the development of fast summation methods for long range particle interactions and their application to problems in biomolecular solvation, which describes the interaction of proteins or other biomolecules ...
Symmetry and Reformulation: On Intellectual Progress in Science and Mathematics
(2022)
Science and mathematics continually change in their tools, methods, and concepts. Many of these changes are not just modifications but progress---steps to be admired. But what constitutes progress? This dissertation addresses ...
Advancing Chiral Plasmonics Using Single-Molecule Localization Microscopy
(2023)
Fluorescence microscopy is an important tool for studying structures in living cells, but its use is limited to sizes greater than 300 nm due to the diffraction limit of visible light. Single-molecule localization microscopy ...
