Modeling Molecular Traffic: Theory, Simulations, and Potential Applications (thesis)
I present a traffic model inspired by the motion of molecular motors along microtubules, represented by particles moving along a one-dimensional track of variable length. As the particles move unidirectionally along the ... -
Modeling Self-Assembly of Nanoparticles: Cooperative Sequential Adsorption with Evaporation and Time-Varying Rates (thesis)
I review several cooperative sequential adsorption (CSA) approaches with and without evaporation to modeling particle deposition in ionic self-assembled monolayers (ISAM). I then build on the mean field method by introducing ... -
Modelling Water Conservation Prioritization in the Henry's Fork Watershed (thesis)
Agricultural water usage has long been at odds with preserving aquatic ecosystems in the Henry's Fork Watershed, which is located in Southeastern Idaho. To address the problem, the Henry's Fork Foundation (HFF), a local ... -
