Computer assistance in organic synthesis planning and execution
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The identification and synthesis of molecules that exhibit a desired function is an essential part of addressing contemporary problems in science and technology. Small molecules are the predominant solution to challenges ...
Machine learning for applications in chemical and biological engineering
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2018)
Chemical and biological systems are increasingly implemented with advanced sensor systems that collect large amounts of data. For example, a single microarray can measure thousands of genes and a typical offshore oil ...
Catalytic conversion of methane to partially oxidized products over copper-exchanged zeolites
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
The selective conversion of methane to liquid oxygenated compounds is a grand challenge in catalysis. Although natural gas can be processed industrially in large-scale facilities, new catalytic processes are required that ...
Engineering non-immunoglobulin binding proteins for in vitro diagnostic Tests
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In 2016, nearly 5.5 million deaths were attributed to infectious and parasitic diseases. Although many of these diseases are preventable and treatable, resource-constrained regions often lack access to rapid and accurate ...
Predictive modeling of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon formation during pyrolysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), large molecules comprised of multiple aromatic rings like anthracene or pyrene, are a notable intermediate and byproduct in combustion or pyrolysis of hydrocarbon fuels. On their ...
Models across multiple length scales to advance biomass upgrading
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2019)
The development of efficient electrochemical processes, which can utilize electrons from renewable energy sources and incorporate sustainable sources of carbon present in biomass, could enable the decarbonization of the ...
Theory and applications for sulfur chemistry : hydrogen from hydrogen sulfide
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2020)
In this thesis, I explore the chemistry of reacting sulfur species computationally and experimentally. The computational work centers around creating the capability to automatically predict the thermochemical properties ...
Protein engineering of targeted cancer therapies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2017)
Protective antigen (PA). the pore-forming component of anthrax toxin, has emerged as a platform for the development of cancer therapies because of its versatility and robust ability to translocate proteins into a cell's ...
