Molecular Dynamics on REX-GECO1 Reveal Structural Features Governing Fluorescence

Creator:: Rozanov, Nikita
Abstract:: Fluorescent proteins have emerged as an essential toolset for bioimaging, creating a demand for engineering proteins with new and improved fluorescent properties. In this thesis, I explore the atomistic structure of REX-GECO1, a newly engineered protein biosensor that has unique optical properties. Since this protein has no available crystal structure,...

Travelling Wave Analysis of Nonlinear Maxwell Models with Applications to Nonlinear Optics

Creator:: Langlie, Noah
Abstract:: In 1877 John Kerr described an experiment that demonstrated a quadratic change in refractive index in a plate glass placed in a strong external electric field. This results in a nonlinear relationship between the average electric polarization within the materials and the intensity of the applied electric field. This opened...

Terahertz field enhancement in nanoantennas on gallium arsenide

Creator:: Brequigny, Victor
Abstract:: Terahertz (THz) spectroscopy is a great tool not only to study fundamental physical processes such as many-body Coulomb interaction but also to develop ultrafast electronic devices. More specifically, intense THz fields interacting with semiconductors have exhibited strong nonlinear effect involving extreme carrier dynamics. In this experiment, intense THz radiation was...

Drunken Walking: A Novel Brownian Dynamics Simulation for the Mechanochemical Cycle of the Dynein Motor Protein

Creator:: Waczak, John L.
Abstract:: The dynein molecule is a peculiar motor protein recognized for its unique stepping behavior. Sometimes it steps forwards. Other times it steps backwards. It has even been observed to occasionally shuffle by beginning a step with the same domain many times in row. These motions make dynein an interesting object...

Complex Index of Refraction of Multi-walled Carbon Nanotubes in Strong Terahertz Fields

Creator:: McCuen, Dalton R.
Abstract:: Carbon nanotubes are the subject of intense interest in virtually every field, from medicine to nano-scale electrical components. Multi-walled nanotubes exhibit a strong nonlinear response to high-field strength terahertz radiation. This research uses terahertz pulses with field strength exceeding 1 MV/cm generated by means of optical rectification utilizing a lithium...

Look Ma, no beads: Analyzing traction force characteristics of migratory adenocarcinoma in heterogeneous type-1 collagen through bead-free confocal microscopy

Creator:: Groves, Nicholas Scott
Abstract:: Current methods in traction force analysis rely on a homogeneous extra-cellular matrix and embedded microbeads to track deformations. The efficacy of these methods decreases when the matrix is not homogeneous. In heterogeneous matrices, beads often aggregate in regions of higher matrix density and float in regions where matrix substrate is...

Effect of Solar System Models on Pulsar Timing Experiments

Creator:: Nicolaysen, Cooper
Abstract:: Gravitational wave (GW) astronomy is a key ingredient in confirming Einstein’s theory of General Relativity and showing how the universe sends ripples through spacetime, distorting distances between two points. The confirmation of high-frequency GWs observed by The Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) in 2015 was a breakthrough in our understanding...

Simulating the Dynein Motor Protein: A Monte Carlo Approach to Achieve Coordinated Stepping

Creator:: Kiatvongcharoen, Jin
Abstract:: The motor protein dynein is responsible for cellular processes such as axonal transport and cell division by delivering vital information along the microtubule track. A failed delivery can cause severe damage to the cell’s functionality and lead to neurological diseases. Despite dynein’s rich history in cellular research, the mechanism of...
