Studying the properties of conjugated donor acceptor complexes with naphthaleneimide acceptors and dialkoxybenzene donors linked by a triple bond
(2007-12)The self-assembly of aromatic electron donor and acceptor units into alternating stacks has been studied extensively by the Iverson research group as well as others. As an extension of previous research in this area, novel ... -
Pulsed magnetic slowing of supersonic beams
(2007-12)Supersonic beams provide a source of cold atoms where laser cooling is not applicable. Although the atoms' temperature in the co-moving frame is in the subkelvin range their velocity is on the order of several hundreds of ... -

(2017-06-28)Why do rebel strategies vary? In this master’s report, I provide evidence that strategy as a whole—rather than individual aspects of insurgent behavior such as military doctrine, negotiating behavior, and civilian ... -
Using the jump number problem to efficiently detect global predicates in distributed systems
(2017-04-28)Detecting global predicates of a distributed computation is a key problem in testing and debugging distributed programs. It consists of searching the global state space of events to determine whether a given predicate could ... -
