Development and application of mass spectrometry-based metabolomics methods for disease biomarker identification
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Human societies face diverse health challenges including a rapidly aging population, rising incidence of metabolic disease, and increasing antibiotic resistance. These problems involve complex interactions between genes ...
Phase field model for precipitates in crystals
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2008)
Oxygen precipitate caused by oxygen supersaturation is the most common and important defects in Czochralski (CZ) silicon. The presence of oxygen precipitate in silicon wafer has both harmful and beneficial effects on the ...
Catalytic properties of palladium nanocluster synthesized within microphase-separated diblock copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Synthesis and characterization of block copolymers containing metal nanoclusters
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1997)
Predicting combustion properties of hydrocarbon fuel mixtures
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2010)
In this thesis, I applied computational quantum chemistry to improve the accuracy of kinetic mechanisms that are used to model combustion chemistry. I performed transition state theory calculations for several reactions ...
Micellar structures and dynamics in aqueous solutions of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymers
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1999)
Nanocrystalline perovskites for catalytic combustion and oxygen separation
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2002)
Nanocrystalline perovskites (Lal-xAMnl-yByO3) were successfully synthesized with higher surface area and smaller grain size by chemical co-precipitation compared to solid-state and complexation/combustion synthesis routes. ...
A fluidized immunoadsorption device for removing beta-2-microglobulin from whole blood : a potential treatment for dialysis-related amyloidosis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2003)
Dialysis-related amyloidosis (DRA) is a frequent complication of end-stage renal disease that has been associated with the accumulation of 2-microglobulin (2m). Excluding transplantation, existing kidney replacement ...
Mineral matter effects in coal pyrolysis and hydropyroysis
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1980)
Tribological and mechanical characterizations of polyelectrolyte multilayer nanoassemblies
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2005)
Over the last decade, the sequential layer-by-layer assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes has received much interest for the deposition of film architectures, ranging from tens to hundreds of nanometers in ...
