Synthesis, Photophysics, Nonlinear Absorption, and Photodynamic Therapy Study of Iridium(III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2018)
Video summarizing a Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Stereospecitic Phototransformations of Axially Chiral Chromaphores
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Video summarizing Ph.D. dissertation for a non-specialist audience.
Synthesis, Photophysics, and Nonlinear Absorption of Platinum (II) and Iridium (III) Complexes
(North Dakota State University, 2013)
Square planar d8 platinum(II) complexes and octahedral d6 iridium(III) complexes were synthesized. Their photophysics were studied in detail. Structure-property relationship was studied by varying the substitution on the ...
Ligand Binding and Catalysis in Selected Sirtuin Isozymes
(North Dakota State University, 2016)
Due to their intimate roles in survival, longevity as well as pathogenesis via “epigenetic” and “metabolic” regulatory mechanisms, sirtuins have gained considerable interest toward undertaking detailed biochemical/biophysical ...
Synthesis and Characterization of 2,3-Difunctionalized Thieno[3,4-b]Pyrazine-Based Terthienyls Structure-Function Relationships and Side Chain Tunability
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
The ability to tune the physical, electronic, and optical properties of polymer precursors has garnered a great deal of interest in the conjugated organic materials field. The Rasmussen group has previously demonstrated ...
Lateral Flow Nucleic Acid Biosensor for the Detection of Sexually Transmitted Diseases
(North Dakota State University, 2015)
Nucleic acid detection is of central importance for the diagnosis and treatment of genetic diseases, infectious agents, bio-warfare agents, and drug discovery. Nucleic acid testing for diseases is exclusively performed in ...
Enhanced Sensitivity of Lateral Flow Strip Biosensors Based on Enyzmatic Reaction and Nanomaterials
(North Dakota State University, 2014)
Ultrasensitive detection for trace amount of proteins plays pivotal role in the diagnosis of specific diseases in clinical application, basic discovery research and the improvement of proteomics. Recently, lateral flow ...
New Insights into Apoptosis-Inducing Factor Mediated Pro-Survival Activity
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
Cancer is a group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled growth of cells and is caused by the accumulation of genetic mutations that contribute to cell division, cell growth, and the DNA repair system. According to ...
Examining Thieno[3,4-b]pyrazine Through a Multifaceted Lens: From Extended Ring Functionalization to Ambipolar-Acceptor Copolymers
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
A class of materials known as conjugated polymers (CPs) has been shown to integrate the physical properties of organic plastics such as low-weight, flexibility, and synthetic modularity with electronic semiconducting ...
Synthesis of Novel Biomass-derived Diol and Epoxide Monomers for Coatings Applications
(North Dakota State University, 2022)
There are few monomers or precursors in the polymer industry that are more ubiquitous than bisphenol A (BPA). According to the CDC, about 5-6 billion pounds of BPA are produced worldwide annually. For the synthesis of ...
