• Thesis Defense: XPS Study of Calcium Lanthanum Sulfide Ceramics

  Oct. 30, 2023 at 9 a.m. until 11 a.m.
  Research 1: R1 101

  Announcing the Final Examination of Brian Butkus for the degree of Master of Science Long wave infrared (LWIR) optics that transmit in the 8 to 14 ?m wavelength range and, additionally, can withstand severephysical and thermal stresses are needed for advanced remote sensing, guidance and communication-based applications.However, transparent LWIR optics do not have the wider transmission range, nor the hardness …

• Thesis Defense: ASSESSING NON-MOTORIST SAFETY IN MOTOR VEHICLE CRASHES - A COPULA-BASED APPROACH TO JOINTLY ESTIMATE CRASH LOCATION AND INJURY SEVERITY

  Oct. 30, 2023 at 1 p.m. until 3 p.m.
  ENG2: 202-A

  Announcing the Final Examination of Robert Marcoux for the degree of Master of Science Recognizing the distinct non-motorist injury severity profiles by crash location (segment or intersection), we propose a joint modeling framework to study crash location type and non-motorist injury severity as two dimensions of the severity process. We employ a copula-based joint framework that ties the crashlocation type …

• Dissertation Defense: Developing platinum-group metal (PGM) nanostructures as peroxidase mimics for biosensing applications

  Oct. 30, 2023 at 1:45 p.m. until 3:45 p.m.
  Virtual

  Announcing the Final Examination of Ms. Weiwei Gao for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Platinum-group metal (PGM) nanostructures with peroxidase-like activities (i.e., peroxidase mimics) are widely used as signal transducers in biosensing applications. For instance, they are used to establish enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISAs) for the detection of protein-, peptide- and hormone-based biomarkers in clinical samples. In biosensing applications, …
