The unification of quantum mechanics and general relativity is the holy grail of fundamental theoretical physics. This thesis represents a small part of that effort, …
The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) marks the period in the universe's history where the neutral hydrogen (HI) in the intergalactic medium became ionized by the …
Planetary atmospheres are governed by a complex interplay of chemical, radiative, and advective processes that yield an inherently three dimensional structure. Probing the three dimensional …
The Epoch of Reionization (EoR) is a period during the history of the Universe that as of today has been largely unconstrained by cosmological measurements. …
This dissertation presents a search for the signature of the production of previously unobserved particles being produced in the proton-proton collisions of the CERN Large …
We present an analysis of systematic signals in the Epoch of Reionization (EoR) Data from Phase II of the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA). Prior work …
Structural features of proteins often serve as signatures of their biological function and molecular binding activity. Elucidating these structural and dynamical features is essential for …
Anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) is an interesting material, occupying a unique space -- already used incredibly widely in the world, yet also commonly used for …
This dissertation presents two experimental studies of DNA polymers inside nanofluidic devices with well-defined topographic features. Those features include square pits and rectangular trenches etched …
In this thesis, we present studies of the structures of loop-level amplitudes in planar $\mathcal{N}=4$ supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory, via tensor diagrams and hyperbolic volumes, and …
This work consists of two main projects: the first project describes bacterial confinement within a thin but resilient layer of liquid. The second project reports …
In this thesis we present studies of scattering amplitudes on the celestial sphere at null infinity (celestial amplitudes), the cluster adjacency structure of scattering amplitudes …
Amorphous oxide semiconductors (AOSs) have been intensively studied during the last 15 years due to their superior properties. The major application of AOS thin film …
Motivated by experiments on colloidal membranes made of chiral filaments that assemble through depletion force, we develop a Monte Carlo framework and carry out simulations …
Amplitudeologists are interested in the general mathematical properties exhibited by amplitudes, asking questions like; which variables do planar N = 4 Super-Yang-Mills (SYM) amplitudes depend …
Abstract of “Computational and Experimental Methods for Resolving Solid-State Emitters: Crystal-Field Calculations and Multidimensional Spectroscopy” By Jonathan A. Kurvits, Ph.D., Brown University, May 2017 The …
Complex metal oxides such as perovskite oxide (ABO3-δ) and ceria (CeO2) can accommodate large percentage of mixed cations and oxygen vacancies (VO) for many applications, …
Studies of the superconductor-insulator transition (SIT) arose from the investigations of metal-insulator transitions (MIT) in the two dimensional limit. The SIT is a typical example …
Abstract of “Corrections to the Geometrical Interpretation of Bosonization“ by Manfred Steiner, Brown University, February 2022 Bosonization is a popular technique for solving certain strongly-correlated …
