In physical and life sciences, employing computational approaches to understand the nature of studied materials and subjects and to analyze immense amount of data is increasingly becoming more popular. Using existing methods and techniques is surprisingly easy, however these are not always well-suited for the problem at hand. ...

This work is directed towards building an understanding of the dynamics of protein/peptide adsorbed on inorganic surfaces. Deuterium solid state NMR(SSNMR) is a very special tool for probing molecule dynamics in solid state. The probing of dynamic information is realized by simulation of the Deuterium line shape and relaxation ...

The collection of work presented in this thesis is directed towards building an understanding of the dynamics of nucleic acid molecules and their components using data obtained from solid state and solution NMR experiments. The focus of these studies is to develop analytical and numerical methods of elucidating motional ...

Luminescent materials play important roles in energy sciences, through solid state lighting and possible applications in solar energy utilization, and in biomedical research and applications, such as in immunoassays and fluorescence microscopy. The initial excitation of a luminescent material leads to a sequence of transitions ...
