The clothes we wear when we go outside, go hiking, or go to the gym aren’t there just to make a fashion statement. Rather, they serve a purpose: to keep us warm, to keep us cool, to keep us dry. As the active-wear industry has boomed over the past several years and fabric technology has...

20Cr-32Ni-1Nb stainless steel alloys are commonly used in hydrogen reformer manifolds for transporting hot hydrogen by-products at 750-950 celcius. After long periods of exposure, embrittling secondary carbides and intermetallic phases can precipitate at the grain boundaries which can drastically...

Characterization of magnetic nanoparticles as contrast agents and their application for quantitative magnetic susceptibility monitoring of the waterflooding of heavy oil in real time
DownloadSpring 2018
Waterflooding is one enhanced oil recovery process used in heavy oil reservoirs such as at Cold Lake in North-Eastern Alberta. However, little has been published in terms of imaging heavy oil waterfloods, mainly due to the similar densities of water and heavy oil, which makes it difficult to...

Characterization of Particulate Matter Morphology and Volatility for Two Direct-Injection Engines
DownloadFall 2015
Particulate matter emitted from two direct injection engines has been characterized by morphology, volatility, mass-mobility exponent, effective density, and size distribution using tandem measurements from a centrifugal particle mass analyzer (CPMA) and differential mobility analyzers (DMA). The...

Chiral Transition Metal Complexes under Resonance: Mechanism of a New Form of Chiral Raman Spectroscopy
DownloadFall 2023
My PhD thesis primarily focuses on exploring chiroptical events and signatures of chiral transition metal complexes when they are under (near) resonance conditions. To achieve this goal, multiple chiroptical spectroscopic techniques were utilized, aided by theoretical calculations. These...

When Superman debuted in the 1930s, the superhero quickly gained the nickname "Man of Steel" because he was invulnerable, as if he was wearing strong, impenetrable steel armor. But if Superman were created these days, maybe he would have to be called the "Man of Fiber-Reinforced Polymer...
