A laboratory study of the friction behavior of granular materials
… that result in rate- and state-dependent friction behavior and experiments designed to match the boundary conditions used by numerical models of granular friction. The effect of relative humidity (RH from <5% to 100%) is investigated with velocity stepping tests (10-20 tm/s) and …

“Is Butter a Carb?” Neural mechanisms of nutrient-sensing and food reward in the human brain
Sensing the nutrient composition of a food and the processing of this information by the brain’s reward system to regulate food consumption are crucial biological needs. However, dysfunction in neural reward pathways may also lead to overconsumption of certain nutrients, contributing to obesity and …

Co-reactant interactions with CVD surfaces: Activation or passivation of growth
The principal contribution of this Ph.D. research is to explore the chemical interactions of co-reactants with the film growth surface during low temperature chemical vapor deposition. Ammonia emerges as a particularly important additive because of: (i) the ability of catalytically active surfaces …
