The study of classical wave transport in strongly scattering, disordered media is a field rich with potential for understanding new fundamental wave physics phenomena, understanding the physical properties of amorphous materials, and probing the characteristics of complex, real-world systems. In this thesis, ultrasonic wave transport in complex media is investigated via analysis of the...

In this thesis, I present a theory of electron-electron interactions in optical properties of graphene and transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs), two dimensional nanostructures with a hexagonal lattice.
We start our discussion with electron-electron interactions in artificial rings for which the strength of interactions can be varied and exact results can be obtained. The artificial...

2016 DCMMP PhD Thesis Award Competition
In the study of materials for electronic devices, there is a continuous search for new materials with useful properties such as grapheme and grapheme-based materials. Research on these materials is widespread for many applications such as manipulation the band structure of grapheme to induce a semiconducting band gap. The focus of this study is a cobalt nanoparticle-graphene system...
