  • Optical Sensors using Biological Photonic Crystals

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth James
    Abstract:
    This dissertation focuses on the application of diatom frustules, the biosilica shell of an algae possessing physical and photonic properties capable of enhancing optical signals, for the enhancement of optical sensing. In this work, we incorporate diatom frustules into biosensors for signal enhancement and improved target molecule detection. The potential...

  • Multi-Modal Biosensing with Diatom Photonic Crystal Biosilica

    Creator:
    Squire, Kenneth J.
    Abstract:
    The need to detect trace amounts of target molecules is great, particularly when it comes to biosensing. With the early detection of a disease, the odds of the successful treatment of an individual increases significantly. To enhance the capability of biomolecular detection, we have created an optical biosensor capable of...

  • Quantitative Analysis of Illicit Drug Residues from Wastewater using Surface-enhanced Raman Scattering

    Creator:
    Zhang, Boxin
    Abstract:
    Detection of illicit drug residues from wastewater provides a new route toward community level assessment of drug abuse that is critical to public health. However, traditional chemistry analytical tools such as liquid chromatography in tandem with mass spectrometry cannot meet the large-scale testing requirement in terms of cost, throughput, and...
