Ultrafast Photochemical Reactivity of Heptazine-Based Materials
Solar energy conversion and storage is one key aspect in addressing and mitigating the global energy crisis. Photon conversion efficiencies and production rates of photovoltaics have dramatically increased over the last ... -
Understanding Ion Injection and Transport in Mixed Ionic/Electronic Conductors
Materials with the ability to conduct both ionic and electronic charge have found a number of new applications recently with real potential to change the world. Each of these applications has its own design requirements, ... -
Understanding lipid membranes' interactions with small molecules and cholesterol using molecular dynamics computer simulations.
Cellular membranes are made up of phospholipids, proteins and cholesterol. The packing of components within the membrane gives rise to important biological phenomena. Understanding these interactions is the most critical ... -
Understanding Proton Shuttling with Pendent Bases in Catalyzing the Interconversion of Dioxygen and Water
(2013-02-25)The electrocatalyzed interconversion of dioxygen and water is critical to the development of non-carbon based renewable fuels, because these are half-reactions in hydrogen fuel cells/water electrolyzers. These reactions ... -
Understanding Src Kinase Regulatory Mechanisms and Drug Resistance Using Deep Mutational Scanning and Chemical Biology
Protein phosphorylation controls a wide variety of cellular processes such as growth, differentiation, proliferation, and apoptosis in eukaryotes. Kinases are signaling enzymes that dictate cellular phosphorylation state ... -
Unraveling Dispersed Kinetic Behavior of Single Photoacid Molecules in Transparent Crystal Hosts
(2012-08-10)This dissertation represents construction and application of powerful tools for single molecule (SM) photophysical analysis. SM fluorescence intermittency studies are presented for violamine R (VR) and 2',7'-dichlorofluorescein ... -
Using Molecular Dynamics Simulations and Statistical Modeling to Explore Membrane Structure and Membrane-Protein Interactions
The structure of cellular membranes gives rise to important biological phenomena, and understanding the (de)mixing behavior of multicomponent lipid bilayers is an important step toward unraveling the nature of spatial ... -
Using Reduced Dimensional Models to Interpret Spectral Signatures of Large Amplitude Motions of OH Bonds
Understanding the spectral signatures of hydrogen bonding is an ongoing topic of study inphysical chemistry. Determining the origins of these spectral signatures will lead to increased understanding of the underlying physics ... -
Utilizing Molecular Dynamics' Multipotent Methodologies to Measure Microscopic Motions of DNA Molecules: A Magniloquent Manuscript on DNA’s Means and Mannerisms
DNA is an amazing molecule which is the basic template for all genetics. It is the primary molecule for storing biological information, and has many applications in nanotechnology. Double-stranded DNA may contain mismatched ... -
Working Toward a Long-Term, Real-Time Measurement Network for Atmospheric Aerosol Sources
Aerosols have a significant impact on both human health and the Earth’s climate. Due to their complexity and variety, however, relatively little is known about them. ASCENT is a new aerosol measuring network that aims to ...
