Experimental Study on Effect of hydrophobicity on Polymer Conformations, Rheology and Flow in Porous Media
DownloadFall 2023
Typically, polymer screening for enhanced oil recovery operations is done based on viscosity, viscosity dependent molecular weight correlations, and concentration. However, direct measurement of molecular weight and Molecular Weight Distribution (MWD) along with the other conformational...

Spring 2023
Plasmonic nanostructures have received increasing attention due to their unique ability to mediate the conversion of light into different forms of energy. This opens pathways for numerous applications from ultrasensitive surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) materials characterization to...

Fall 2022
The current study investigates the effect of shear thinning rheology characteristics of high viscosity non-Newtonian biopolymers on the flow regime characterizations in Taylor Couette flow. The rheology measurements were carried out to investigate the viscoelastic properties of the biopolymers...

Fall 2022
This thesis describes the theory, fabrication, and characterization of monolithic integrated membrane-in-the-middle (MIM) optomechanical Fabry-Perot resonators and elliptical birefringent Fabry-Perot optical resonators. Both types of devices were fabricated on a silicon wafer using a thin-film...

Strategies for Design and Fabrication of Nanoplasmonic Metasurfaces with Extreme Geometric Features
DownloadFall 2022
The ever-increasing integration density of optical components has pushed engineers and physicists to rethink the fundamentals of bulky dielectric lensing systems. Metasurfaces, which are two-dimensional, periodic arrays of metallic (plasmonic) or dielectric scatterers that exhibit exotic...

Tau seeding in a HEK cell model is influenced by aggregation inducers and cellular chaperones
DownloadFall 2022
The tau protein is a microtubule associated protein whose misfolding and subsequent aggregation have been associated with a group of neurodegenerative diseases known as tauopathies. Studying tau in a lab setting has been crucial for the advancement of knowledge and technology used to treat people...

Interactions between a flat slab and overriding plate: Controlling factors of subduction dynamics and continental deformation
DownloadFall 2022
Subduction zones are active plate margins that have an important role in mantle and lithosphere processes. Subduction is driven by the negative buoyancy of the downgoing oceanic plate, resulting in a steep descent angle at most subduction zones. However, in approximately 10% of modern subduction...

Dynamics of spontaneous initial spreading and spreading of a hydrodynamically driven droplet under the influence of surrounding pressure
DownloadFall 2021
We investigate experimentally the early time dynamics of spontaneous spreading of silicone oils with various viscosities at elevated surrounding pressures. The surrounding medium pressure is increased in a monotone fashion starting from atmospheric pressure to a maximum value of 30 megapascal...

Spring 2021
At different stages during the extraction of bitumen from the Athabasca oil sands, the removal of unwanted fine solids whether suspended in aqueous or non-aqueous liquids continues to present serious challenges to the oil sands industry. These fine solids are unique in that their colloidal...

Modification of pulse starch properties by nanoparticulation and phosphorylation techniques
DownloadFall 2021
The global demand for plant-based protein is fast growing. This has resulted in significant expansion of pulse grain fractionation and value-added processing operations that primarily focus on protein refining. Pulse starches, as the major by-product of those operations, remain underutilized...
