Simulated accelerated evolution by modeling the rapid fixation of bacteria along an antibiotic gradient
(2020)
The work in this thesis makes connections between statistical mechanics and genotype frequencies in population sizes, and how mutation of the bacteria E. coli helps to increase its resistance to the antibiotic ciprofloxacin. ...
Tweezing and Manipulating Nanomaterials on Tapered Optical Fiber to Develop SurfaceEnhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS) Substrate
(2020)
A compact and cost-effective fiber-based probe was manufactured for the detection of chemicals
at low concentrations using Surface-Enhanced Raman Spectroscopy (SERS). Multi-mode optical
fiber was tapered with a dynamic ...
Study of a brominated triphenylamine derivative on metal and semiconducting surfaces
(2020)
Room-temperature STM experiments were conducted for
tribromotrioxoazatriangulene, (TBTANGO), on three surfaces: Si(111)-√3x√3-R30o-B,
Ag(111), and Au(111) on mica. We found for the silicon samples there was a trade-off ...
Experimental evaluation of a solid-state organ-targeted positron emission tomography (PET) camera
(2021)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) with an organ-targeted approach has a potential to
significantly improve the diagnosis of a variety of diseases through higher detection efficacy and
a reduced dose of radioactivity ...
Dark Current modeling and characterization of amorphous lead oxide-based x-ray photoconductive devices for applications in medical imaging
(2022)
High atomic number (Z) polycrystalline and amorphous photoconductors are currently
being investigated to extend direct conversion X-ray detectors to real-time and high-energy lowdose applications. Amorphous lead oxide ...
Design and evaluation of a clinical organ-targeted positron emission tomography camera
(2023)
Positron Emission Tomography (PET) is a non-invasive medical imaging technique
which usesradioactive tracers to visualize the metabolic or biochemical function of tissues and
organs. PET imaging aides in the accurate ...
