• A BIOPHYSICAL PERSPECTIVE ON COLLECTIVE CELL MIGRATION AND MATHEMATICAL MODELING IN PHYSICS FOR THE LIFE SCIENCES 

  Hemingway, Deborah (2018)

  This dissertation pulls from the fields of physics, biology, and education to address novel problems both in current biological research on collective cell migration and in a reformed introductory physics for life science ...

• Effect of electrostatic interactions on biomolecular self-assembly processes 

  Xu, Hongcheng (2018)

  Molecular level self-assembly processes are not only ubiquitous in living cells, but also widely applied in industry to synthesize and fabricate a variety of nanoscale biomaterials. The emergence of ordered aggregates from ...

• Magnetic & Electric Field Sensing and Applications Based on Coherent Effects in Neutral Atoms 

  Meyer, David Henry (2018)

  This work encompasses two projects employing coherent probing of neutral rubidium atom vapors for sensing applications: 1) observing and characterizing new ``twists'' within Nonlinear Magneto-Optical Rotation (NMOR) ...

• Probing the Nature of Radiative Processes within Radio Galaxies using the Fermi Gamma-Ray Large Area Telescope 

  Magill, Jeffrey David (2018)

  Radio galaxies, active galactic nuclei with misaligned relativistic jets and large diffuse extended lobe structures, are home to radiative processes which are still not well understood. In this thesis, I describe my use ...

• Experiments on networks of coupled opto-electronic oscillators and physical random number generators 

  Hart, Joseph David (2018)

  In this thesis, we report work in two areas: synchronization in networks of coupled oscillators and the evaluation of physical random number generators. A ``chimera state'' is a dynamical pattern that occurs in a network ...
