- Description:
- A fundamental materials science question is “why and how will this material form?” The experimental,computation, and time resources necessary to answer this question consume significant resources due to the predominantly trial-and-error based approaches common in materials research. This dissertation reintroduces a number of fundamental thermodynamics-based tools for the study of...

- Understanding organization of soft materials on mesoscopic and nanoscopic scales is importantfor materials design. In this regard, non-van der Waals interactions such as hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions offer great opportunities due to the richness and diversity in morphological structures they produce. The primary reason for this is that these...

- Desmosomal cadherins are a recent evolutionary innovation that make up the adhesive core of highly specialized intercellular junctions called desmosomes. Desmosomal cadherins, desmogleins and desmocollins, are related to the classical cadherins but their cytoplasmic domains are tailored for anchoring intermediate filaments instead of actin to sites of cell-cell adhesion. The...
