Fall 2009
In this thesis, we have analyzed one-dimensional fermion-spin interactions in the dilute limit. The two cases we analyze represent different paradigms. For the first part, we look at the existence of “spins” for all sites as an effective model to describe the rearrangement of core electrons...

Field Line Resonances in Earth’s Magnetosphere: A study of their Observation, Characterization and Wave Sources in the Solar Wind
DownloadFall 2015
This thesis is an observational study of field line resonances (FLRs), between 0.5-5 mHz, in the Earth’s magnetosphere, and their correlation with Ultra Low Frequency (ULF) waves in the solar wind. The mechanisms for these phenomena are not yet completely understood and there is still great...

The Laramide orogeny (~80-50 Ma) was an anomalous period of mountain-building in the western United States that took place >1000 km inboard of the Farallon Plate subduction margin. The orogeny was preceded by the development of the Western Interior Seaway and eastward migration of the volcanic...

This thesis explores the optical and microstructural properties of fluorescent and lasing polymer microspheres, as well as methods for their fabrication and size control. I investigate the fluorescent and lasing behaviour of polymer-coated glass microspheres by a combination of evanescent...

This thesis explores the dynamics and sensing performance of silicon quantum dot (SiQD) ensembles coupled to the whispering gallery modes (WGMs) of spherical and cylindrical microcavities. The first project investigated the possibility of observing Purcell effects in an ensemble of QDs coupled to...
