Diffusion, Deformation, and Damage in Lithium-Ion Batteries and Microelectronics
(2014-06-06)This thesis explores mechanical behavior of microelectronic devices and lithium-ion batteries. We first examine electromigration-induced void formation in solder bumps by constructing a theory that couples electromigration ... -
DNA Nanoswitches: A quantitative platform for gel-based biomolecular interaction analysis
(2014)We introduce a nanoscale experimental platform that enables kinetic and equilibrium measurements of a wide range of molecular interactions by expanding the functionality of gel electrophoresis. Programmable, self-assembled ... -
Single molecule studies of RNA polymerase II transcription initiation and elongation
(2021-07-12)In eukaryotes, RNA polymerase II (Pol II) synthesizes messenger RNAs and small non-coding RNAs. For accurate and efficient transcription, Pol II works with numerous factors, forming stage-specific Pol II complexes. There ... -
Sulfide Oxidation across Diffuse Flow Zones of Hydrothermal Vents
(Springer Nature, 2011)The sulfide (H2S/HS−) that is emitted from hydrothermal vents begins to oxidize abiotically with oxygen upon contact with ambient bottom water, but the reaction kinetics are slow. Here, using in situ voltammetry, we report ...
