Processing of oil sands ores to extract bitumen generates large volumes of tailings which are deposited into large settling basins, where the solids settle by gravity over 3-4 years to become mature fine tailings (MFT). Methanogenesis has been correlated with increased water recovery from and...

2015 marks the 50th anniversary of Moore's law, which has described the exponential progress in semiconductor patterning technologies, enabling creation of smaller circuitry features at greater densities. These continued hardware developments, economically mass manufactured, have made possible...

A multi-purpose settling column was designed to determine settling rate and sediment height allowing the in-situ measurement of yield stress and drainage without disturbing the sediment particle network. The settling column was applied to studying flocculation/densification of model oil sands...

A novel nopoldiol-benzoxaborolate cross-link formed by a bioorthogonal click reaction between nopoldiol- and benzoxaborole-based components was developed for the preparation of biomaterials such as hydrogels and nanogels. In contrast to the traditional boronic ester-based cross-links, this...

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...

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...

Computational Investigation of Electrical Conductivities and Magnetism of Phosphonate Metal-Organic Frameworks and Frontier Orbital Gaps, Structure, and Proton Transfer Mechanisms in Phosphonate Hydrogen-Bonded Organic Frameworks
DownloadSpring 2024
The study of metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) and hydrogen-bonded organic frameworks (HOFs) has gained much interest over the last decade. MOFs and HOFs are constructed through the self-assembly of organic building units and metals (in the case of MOFs), giving rise to a diverse range of...
