- Description:
- In the first two decades of the 21st century, metal organic frameworks (MOFs) have attracted much attention in both fundamental-research and-industrial application areas. Derived from a vast library of both inorganic metal nodes and organic linker bridges, MOFs are crystalline materials whose structures and chemical environments can both be tuned...

- Description:
- How do ever-changing international systems and rapidly emerging technology shape counter-systemic revolutionary insurgent (CSRI) behavior and outcomes? The purpose of this publication is to identify causes and develop a conceptual typology of CSRI survival and behavior in a Post-9/11 era. I argue three global shocks acted as junctures for new...

- Description:
- We present a biophysical model of GCaMP6f calcium fluorescence in CA1 pyramidal neuron dendrites based upon results from imaging and electrophysiology experiments. This work was completed using experimental results from the laboratory of Professor Daniel Dombeck, Department of Neurobiology. Constraining the model to reproduce different objectives --- from in-vitro and...

- Description:
- Ordered arrays of metallic nanoparticles (NPs) are a promising platform for technological applications and fundamental investigations due to their ability to excite surface lattice resonances (SLRs). SLRs can support extremely high local electric fields that have been used to realize exotic physical phenomena. The open cavity architecture lends itself to...
