The Population Dynamics of a Breeding Population of Painted Buntings (Passerina ciris) in North Texas

Description: Urbanization and habitat fragmentation threaten many bird species; however, they can lead to the creation of urban green spaces that provide important breeding habitat. We assessed the viability of the Painted Bunting (Passerina ciris pallidior) population at the Lewisville Lake Environmental Learning Area (LLELA) within the Central conservation subunit. Using capture–mark–recapture (2017-2024) and nesting data (2020–2024), we estimated age- and sex-specific survival and fecundity to parameteri… more

A Study on Elastic Vortex Generators Inspired by Monami

Description: Vortex Generators (VGs) enhance momentum exchange near surfaces by generating streamwise vortices that delay flow separation and improve mixing and heat-transfer efficiency across numerous engineering applications. While Rigid VGs (RVGs) improve performance, they also increase pressure drop, motivating the development of Elastic VGs (EVGs) that deform with the flow and can produce additional coherent vortices with lower pressure-drop penalties. Prior work on single and tandem EVGs has shown imp… more

At The Polls: Analyzing Vote Choice in a Presidential Election by American Indians Utilizing Linked Fate

Description: Does linked fate apply to every minority group, or are there groups where linked fate does not hold? Utilizing the largest American Indian survey sample in political science, I test whether “Native Linked Fate” has a significant relationship with vote choice in the 2020 Presidential Election, analyzed by utilizing a multinomial logistic regression. I find that there is no significant relationship between Native Linked Fate and Vote Choice in the analysis; though I do find significant relationsh… more

Unraveling the Multifaceted Role of Teachers in Education

Description: This dissertation examines the impact of teacher role ambiguity on burnout, job satisfaction, professional commitment, and work engagement among K–5 educators. Grounded in the Job Demands–Resources (JD-R) model and supported by Self-Determination Theory (SDT), the study employed a mixed-methods design. Quantitative data were collected from 135 validated survey responses using established instruments, including the Maslach Burnout Inventory–Educators Survey (MBI-ES), the Teacher Stress Inventory… more

Bicultural Ethnocultural Gender Roles Across Latina Women Generations

Description: As the Latine population in the United States grows, so does its American-born Latine young adults Young adult Latina women navigate conflicting gender expectations across two cultures, holding multiple intersecting identities like race, ethnicity, double nationalities, and gender (Villalba et al., 2018). Current literature on Latina women’s ethnocultural gender roles is limited and often focuses on marianismo, a cultural gender role that marginalizes women in their families (Castillo et al., 2… more

Microaggressions, Intersectional Microaggressions, and University Life Satisfactions: The Roles of Racial Anxiety, LGBT+Q+ Rumination, and Sense of School Belonging

Description: The extant literature indicated that racial, heterosexist, and intersectional microaggressions based on racism and heterosexism are associated with a variety of negative outcomes, including decreased university life satisfaction but the specific mechanisms remain unclear. This study examined a 2-tier, indirect-effect model that depicted direct and indirect effects of intersectional microaggressions based on racism and heterosexism on university life satisfaction via racial anxiety, LGBTQ+ rumin… more

Mapping Horizons of Experience: Looking toward Empirical Environmental Racism Studies

Description: This project traces my academic journey from an introduction to feminism to an engagement with ecofeminism, ultimately confronting why my work does not naturally evolve into "ecowomanism" as articulated by Melanie Harris, despite its shared use of standpoint epistemology, intersectional theory, and liberation theology. I then examine avenues for academic activism beyond syllabus construction, arriving at two distinct paths: 1. continuing to publish nuanced debates that redefine disciplinary bou… more

Minoritized Women in Iraq after 2003: An Intersectionality Perspective

Description: The US-led invasion of Iraq in 2003 and its consequences have significantly shifted the Iraqi political, social, and cultural milieu. Scholars have analyzed the legacy of the invasion and its influences on women and gender. Yet little scholarship has focused on minority women in post-2003 Iraq. Thus, the dissertation is set to investigate the status, challenges, and experiences of minority women in this critical era of the country’s history. An intersectionality approach has been utilized to ex… more

Experiences of Mandarin-Speaking Immigrant Parents with Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT)

Description: This phenomenological longitudinal qualitative study explored the lived experiences of first-generation Mandarin-speaking immigrant parents in the United States before and after participating in Child-Parent Relationship Therapy (CPRT). Although CPRT has been established as an evidence-based intervention that enhances parent-child relationships across diverse populations, limited research has examined its cultural responsiveness among Mandarin-speaking immigrant families. Fifteen parents partic… more

Artificial Intelligence in K-12 Education Systems: A Multi-Method Study of Educators’ and Librarians’ Concerns and Acceptance

Description: The purpose of this manuscript-style dissertation was to expand the body of knowledge around AI integration into K-12 educations systems through the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) and the Stages of Concern (SoC) framework. By combining both frameworks, the dissertation shows a fuller picture of the cognitive and affective processes when adopting AI into K-12 education systems. The first study, a scoping review, analyzed literature from 2021-2024 to develop a base understan… more

The Effects of Mastery Criteria on Maintenance and Generalization of Verbal Operants in Children with Autism

Description: A critical component of a skill acquisition program is the mastery criterion, or when can behavior analysts consider a skill acquired. A mastery criterion should contain both a level of performance and a number of demonstrations at or above that level. In this study researchers compared two mastery criteria 80% across three consecutive sessions and 100% across three consecutive sessions, and compared rate of acquisition, and the level of performance across four maintenance and four generalizati… more

“More Moore” and “More Than Moore” Technologies Enabled by Emergent 2D Semiconductors and Perovskites

Description: The exponential growth of artificial intelligence (AI) and the Internet of Things (IoT) has placed unprecedented demands on computational speed, energy efficiency, and device miniaturization. As silicon-based complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) technology approaches its physical and economic limits, the semiconductor industry stands at a pivotal transition point - moving beyond traditional Moore’s Law scaling toward a holistic framework that integrates computational electronics (logi… more

RF Application of Additively Manufactured Ceramics: Dielectric Properties Characterization and Antenna Design

Description: Additive manufacturing is changing how radio-frequency components are designed and built, making complex shapes practical and shortening the path from material to device. This thesis investigates two additively manufactured (AM) ceramic materials—boron nitride (BN) and lithium titanate (LTO)—as promising candidates for low-loss, high-performance RF applications. First, I measured their key dielectric properties using a split-post dielectric resonator method and showed how material processing pa… more

Computational Methods for Peptide Identification and Protein Inference in Metaproteomics

Description: Metaproteomics enables the functional profile of complex microbiomes in human, environmental and ecosystem contexts. However, accurate protein identification remains the computational bottleneck. Tandem mass spectra must be searched against vast, sample-specific protein sequences spanning hundreds of taxa; database incompleteness, sequence variation, post-translational modifications, and chimeric spectra degrade sensitivity and calibration. Cross-laboratory comparisons further reveal variabilit… more
