Fall 2019
Methanotrophic bacteria are capable of converting single carbon sources such as methane or methanol, two common industrial waste products, into value-added compounds like bioplastics or biofuels. These microorganisms have significant potential for the mitigation of these low-value industrial...

Spring 2021
The atmospheric processing of biogenic volatile organic compounds (BVOCs) leading to the formation and evolution of secondary organic aerosols (SOAs) is highly complex, involving “multiphase” chemistry occurring in the gas, particle, and aqueous phases (e.g., cloudwater, fog, aerosol liquid...

Augmenting Hypothermia Therapy for Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy in Neonates: Localizing Drug Delivery using pH and Temperature Responsive Nanoparticles
DownloadFall 2022
The obstruction of blood flow to regions of an infant brain leads to a reduction of oxygen and essential nutrients, causing what is known as hypoxic-ischemic (HI) damage to that region. Presently the only treatment available for affected neonates is hypothermia: head or whole-body cooling....

Factors Influencing Verticillium Stripe in Canola: Blackleg Interaction, Host Resistance, and pH
DownloadFall 2024
Verticillium stripe, caused by Verticillium longisporum, is emerging as an important disease of canola (Brassica napus) in Canada. This thesis aimed to enhance understanding of potential interactions between Verticillium stripe and blackleg (Leptosphaeria maculans), assess the influence of pH on...

Selected Aspects of Plant Responses to Elevated pH, Salinity and Drought: Implications for Oil Sands Revegetation
DownloadSpring 2021
Elevated salinity, high pH, and drought are among the most challenging environmental factors affecting the growth and survival of plants in oil sands reclamation areas. In my thesis research, I focused on the selected aspects of these environmental stresses to better understand their potential...

The Behaviour and Interactions of the Silica/Water Interface Studied through Nonlinear Optics
DownloadFall 2020
The chemistry of silica in contact with water is rich and diverse. These two substances are among the most ubiquitous on the surface of the Earth. Yet, despite many investigations into the interactions between silica and water, there is still more to discover. In aqueous solution, the silica...
