Spring 2013
Global kinetic model for a Pt-Pd diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) is proposed and validated. Experimental data was obtained using different concentrations of the artificial gas mixtures which were passed over a bimetallic catalyst. Previous works of Voltz [1], Pandya [2], Sola [3] and many others...

Delving into Group 16 – Increasing the Accessibility and Understanding the Optoelectronic Properties of Tellurophenes
DownloadFall 2020
This Thesis describes the investigation of 5-membered heterocycles that contain the heavy atom tellurium (Te), termed tellurophenes, as light emitting materials or the active (light absorbing) component in organic photovoltaics. A particular focus was placed on developing new routes to synthesize...

Preparation of Polysubstituted Pyrans Toward the Synthesis of Biologically Active Compounds
DownloadSpring 2016
Polyfunctionalized pyrans are among the most common structures in bioactive molecules. Based on the ubiquity of the pyran framework in natural and synthetic molecules, there is a need to develop more efficient methods of synthesizing and functionalizing the pyran motif. Due to recent interest in...
