TERMINAL : a public archive for Habana
… lifespan of conventional structures before the modern movement was around 120 years. Modern materials and assemblies radically changed the way buildings aged, averaging half the former construction's life expectancy. This thesis proposes to challenge conventional practice and thought structures, …

Systems Materials Design of Ordered Nanocomposite Assemblies
… multiple length scales is a central challenge in modern materials science. In this dissertation, I develop a systems materials design approach to engineer hierarchically structured nanocomposite assemblies, integrating molecular recognition, supramolecular chemistry, colloidal assembly, and bulk …

Probing local thermal, mechanical, and optical properties utilizing dynamic cantilever response in contact mode atomic force microscopy
Understanding the behavior of materials and devices at the nanometer-scale is important because modern materials and devices have nanometer-scale features. Atomic force microscopy (AFM) is a powerful tool for studying nanometer-scale behavior due to excellent spatial resolution (tip radius < 25 nm) …
