Description:: Cobalt(III) Schiff-base complexes (Co(III)-sb) have been utilized in the literature as antibacterial, antiviral, and inhibitory agents. Recent work has utilized their ability to displace endogenous metals from metalloproteins that exhibit aberrant gain of function pathologies in human disease. Specifically, in this dissertation Co(III)-sb has been applied as inhibitors of pathogenic...

Description:: My research goal is to develop first principles frameworks to interrogate multiphase, multiscale systems. One of my main focus areas is to consistently deconstruct highly nonequilibrium problems into their fundamental components. By using analytical, computational and experimental tools to grasp the key levers controlling such phenomenon, I aim to build...

Description:: Although electrostatics interactions in fluids have been studied for many decades, new results in this field are still challenging our classical understanding of electrolytes. The combination of electrostatics and self-assembly yields many interesting yet challenging problems that are of fundamental scientific interest and show promise for industrial applications. In this...

Description:: The presence of unwanted biofilms on surfaces is a great concern for industrial, naval, and healthcare fields, and many other settings. To better inhibit, remove, or harness the properties of biofilms, an explanation of how specific structural or chemical features of biofilm matrix components leads to enhanced adhesion and persistence...
