(RADA)4 Self-Assembling Peptide based Hydrogels: Design, Characterization and In-Vitro Biological Evaluation
DownloadFall 2016
Ionic self-assembling peptides have emerged as promising nano-biomaterials, with direct applications in the fields of bioengineering and applicative medicine. (RADA)4 is a self-assembling 16 residue containing peptide, with alternating hydrophobic and hydrophilic residues. This characteristic...

All-Carbon Molecular Electronics: From Flexible Fabrication to Multi-Step Transport and Molecular Optoelectronics
DownloadSpring 2018
The central idea of molecular electronics is to incorporate individual or ensemble molecules into the electronic circuit units in the hope of creating miniaturized functional devices with unique properties. This dissertation aims to present my efforts to pursue this ultimate goal, covering the...

Design and simulation of a short, 10 MV, variable energy linear accelerator for use in linac-MR systems
DownloadFall 2016
Hybrid linac-MR devices are currently being designed and constructed by several groups around the world which combine a linear accelerator with an MRI in order to enable real-time 3D imaging to visualize tumor movement during external beam radiotherapy treatments. Each of the current systems is...

When a photon experiences a change in momentum of any form, be it being absorbed or reflected from a surface, the photon will exert a force upon that material. This force is called the radiation pressure force. One way that we can harness this radiation pressure force is to couple optical and...

Development of an optical biosensor based on Mach-Zehnder Interferometry for detection of Listeria monocytogenes
DownloadFall 2013
Label-free optical biosensors are widely used for the detection of pathogens due to their low-cost, real-time detection and high sensitivity. A Mach-Zehnder Interferometer (MZI) based biosensor has been developed for the detection of gram-positive bacteria, Listeria monocytogenes. An extensive...

DNA-assisted Heterogeneous Integration of Micro- and Nanoelectronic Devices: Modeling, Control, and Rational Design of Selective Attachment
DownloadSpring 2018
Heterogeneous integration is an electronic packaging approach that enables the fabrication and assembly of complete electronic subsystems from components fabricated with different substrates and processes. Current commercial techniques like robotic pick-and-place, fluidic self-assembly, and...
