Nanoscale studies of thermal transport: R-matrix theory and thermal transport in strained graphene nanoribbons.
(2011)
The rapid development of nanotechnology has enabled the fabrication of structures much smaller than the mean free path of electrons and phonons. In modern electronics, miniaturization is desired to increase the transistor ...
MULTIPHYSICS ANALYSIS OF HIGH DIFFERENTIAL PRESSURE ELECTROZIPPER PERISTALTIC MICROPUMP
(2012)
The problem investigated in this dissertation is that of designing and developing a micropump for on-chip applications that have requirements for simultaneous high differential pressures and high flow rates, particularly ...

Establishing elemental analysis to quantify nanoscale interactions at single nanoparticle and single cell levels
(2021-12-17)
For over two decades, nanoscale materials have been utilized as diagnostics and therapeutics. The successful clinical implementation of these platforms depends on well-defined physicochemical properties. However, such ...
Engineered Bacteriophage Enabled Nanoprobes for SKBR-3 Cancer Cell Specific Imaging and Therapy
(2011)
With the recent progress in nanoscience and great deal of understanding in molecular biology, it is now possible to combine genetic tools with synthetic nano- constructs for improved biotechnology applications. Viruses ...
The Fabrication and Applications of Protein Patterns Produced Via Particle Lithography
(2012)
A novel particle lithography technique with the ability to pattern protein in hexagonal dot arrays was developed. The patterning method consists of a simple three-step procedure: (1) formation of a close-packed polystyrene ...
MULTISCALE SIMULATIONS OF HEAT TRANSFER IN NANOCOMPOSITES
(2012)
The field of nanotechnology has been expanded by the discovery of fullerenes and carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in the 20th century. Geim and Novoselov won the Nobel prize in 2010 for their work on graphene sheets (GSs). Those ...
Quantification of nanoparticle interactions with the Nanoparticle Clearance System
(2020-05-08)
The goal of nanomedicine is to target therapeutic and diagnostic agents to target tissues. However, there are multiple physiological barriers which prevent nanoparticles from reaching the desired destination in the body. ...
