ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
First, I would like to thank Dr. Jincheng Du, who has been a wonderful and
patient adviser over the last four years, not just in guiding my technical work, but also as
a mentor for the development of my academic career.
I would also like to thank my committee members, Dr. Richard Reidy, Dr. Nigel
Shepherd, Dr. Witold Brostow, and Dr. Zhenhai Xia, as well as Dr. Jeffry Kelber (UNT
Chemistry), Dr. Joe Ryan (PNNL), Dr. Sebastien Kerisit (PNNL), and Dr. Louise
Criscenti (Sandia) for providing additional technical expertise into my research.
I have been able to work with many excellent scientists from around the world,
and I would like to thank them for providing insight into the wider scientific community:
Dr. Christian Bonhomme, Dr. Christel Grevais, Dr.Haiyan Xiao, and Dr. Xiaotao Zu.
The friendships that I developed during my time at UNT have provided
encouragement during my graduate studies: Doug Kinkenon, Dr. Ankit Srivastava, Jon-
Erik Mogonye, Kris Mahdak, Graciela Penso, Dr. Niraj Gupta, Kyle Roget, Dr. Reinaldo
Santos-Ortiz, Andres Garcia, Alyn Gray, Calvin Mikler, Matthew Karl, and Nathan Ley.
I would also like to thank my group members: Dr. Mrunal Chaudhari, Leopold
Kokou, Dr.Ye Xiang, Wei Sun, Lu Deng, Menguo Ren, Xiaonan Lu, and PoHsuen Kuo.
Funding for my doctoral studies has been provided by the NSF Graduate
Research Fellowship Program (NSF GRFP), DOE Nuclear Energy University Program
(DOE NEUP), and the Semiconductor Research Corporation (SRC).
Lastly, I am very thankful for the continuing love and support of my family who
have been such a big part of my journey towards earning my PhD. Without them, I truly
would have been lost.iii
