Quantitative Electron Microscopy Studies of Silicon Germanium/silicon(001)
… traditional TEM methods, we directly show the energetic pathway of the island shape reverse transition. We show how the thermodynamic island diameter is ∝1/32r , where 3r is the strain reduction in an island. We also use these methods to understand the kinetic properties of the island …

Conformational Entropy in PEPCK Catalysis: Dynamic Motions Critical to Function
… free energy balance, meaning the lid pays an energetic penalty to close, which is offset by the energetic contribution from substrate binding. To investigate the role of the loop, specifically the open/closed transition, and to probe for unappreciated roles, multiple mutant enzymes were …

Single Cell Force Platforms to Link Force-ECM Coupling in Pathophysiology
… platforms are applied to investigate (i) the bioenergetic contributors fueling cellular migration and a surprisingly overwhelming impact of glycolytic energetic pathway over the traditionally thought mitochondrial energy production is found. However, neither pathway has substantial impact over …

Dislocation slip and twinning stress in shape memory alloys- theory and experiments
… alloys. This thesis presents an advanced energetic approach to investigate the attributes of phase transformation, slip and twinning in SMAs utilizing Density Functional Theory based ab initio calculations, and the role of energy barrier is characterized. Through different length scales …
