Fall 2015
The expansion of the fluorescent protein (FP) colour palette through discovery of more species possessing FPs and by subjecting them to intensive protein engineering efforts has greatly aided the effectiveness of FP-based biosensor designs. Currently, the main FP-based methods for detecting...

Development of a Binding-induced DNA Nanosensor Based on Fluorescence Resonance Energy Transfer
DownloadSpring 2013
This thesis describes a binding-induced DNA nanosensor and its application to homogeneous detection of DNA and proteins. This nanosensor was based on the binding-induced assembly of fluorescently labeled DNA on the DNA-functionalized quantum dots, resulting in fluorescence resonance energy...

Tools and Methodologies for The Rapid Determination and Transfer of Thermodynamic Parameters used in the Prediction of Gas Chromatographic and Two Dimensional Comprehensive Gas Chromatographic Retention Times
DownloadFall 2014
Three parameter thermodynamic predictive models have been shown previously to provide superior accuracy in the prediction of gas chromatographic retention times in comparison to other forms of modelling such as retention indices. However, these models suffer from the need for extensive...

Pereira Carvalho, Wildemar Stefanio
We have witnessed significant progress in the past few decades in the development of stimuli-responsive polymer-based smart materials. A great deal of work has been dedicated to the development of sensors and biosensors that are portable, inexpensive and easy-to-use to be used in resource limited...

Layer-by-layer assembly of multilayers on carbon surfaces and molecular electronic junctions
DownloadSpring 2010
In the research described in this thesis, two molecular layers were successfully anchored on carbon surfaces (pyrolyzed photoresist films, PPFs) sequentially through two independent approaches. The first molecular layer, styrene, was covalently bonded on PPF surfaces via the method of reduction...

My Ph.D. research involved the generation of stimuli responsive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) (pNIPAm)-based microgels and the modification of their chemistry to generate a series of pH responsive microgel-based optical devices (etalons). The pH responsivity of the synthesized microgels was used...
