Fall 2013
This thesis outlines the development of two platforms for integrating microfabricated sensors with high pressure feedthroughs for application in hostile high temperature high pressure environments. An application in oil well production logging is explored and two sensors were implemented with...

Nanophotonic detection of nanomechanical structures for use toward mass sensing applications
DownloadSpring 2014
Nanomechanical beam resonators show much promise for use in integrated on-chip mass sensing systems. This follows from their own very small masses and also their ability to store the mechanical energy of their oscillations to produce strong measurable mechanical response signals. To achieve...

Background: NK cells are a key cellular component of antibody-mediated rejection (ABMR), but their role in ABMR has not been identified. We postulated that NK cells are stimulated through their CD16a antibody receptors by donor-specific anti-HLA antibodies in ABMR. There is currently no direct...

Spring 2011
Several obstacles to widespread use of bacteriocins in food have been identified, including lack of specific, rapid quantitation methods, and little data on their efficacy in food systems. The first objective of this study was to develop a specific, rapid quantitation method for bacteriocins...

Resonant microcantilevers are promising transducers for bacteria detection because of their high sensitivities. Surface stress and mass from adsorbates affect the resonant frequency. We developed a novel method for decoupling the frequency contributions of a change in mass and surface stress on a...

The scanning tunneling microscope (STM) based on quantum tunneling can attain atomic-scale spatial resolution and help elucidate a wealth of phenomena in the microscopic world. However a limitation in scanning tunneling microscopy is the low temporal resolution due to readout circuit frequency...

Study of Non-Covalent Protein-Carbohydrate Interactions by Nanoelectrospray Ionization Mass Spectrometry and Surface Plasmon Resonance
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis describes the application of electrospray ionization mass spectrometry (ESI-MS) techniques to identify and quantify antibody-antigen interactions in vitro. Also potential application of nanodiscs (ND) as membrane model in ESI-MS and surface plasmon resonance (SPR) spectroscopy has...
