Black Hole Thermodynamics and the Tunnelling Method for Particle Emission
(University of Waterloo, 2008-08-29)The semi-classical black hole tunnelling method is a useful technique to calculate black hole temperature and understand black hole thermodynamics. I will investigate the black hole tunnelling method in detail. I will ... -
Gravitational Thermodynamics: From Black Holes to Holography
(University of Waterloo, 2021-06-01)The subject of gravitational thermodynamics lies at the center of numerous fields of study, many of which may seem disconnected, yet have proven to be deeply entwined. This thesis examines two primary facets of this subject, ... -
Interpolated Collision Model Formalism
(University of Waterloo, 2020-09-16)The dynamics of open quantum systems (i.e., of quantum systems interacting with an uncontrolled environment) forms the basis of numerous active areas of research from quantum thermodynamics to quantum computing. One approach ... -
Structure and Thermodynamics of Drug-RNA Aptamer Interactions
(Bentham Science Publishers, 2013-03-01)This mini-review will provide an overview on the recent studies of structure and thermodynamics of RNA aptamers that target drug molecules. These aptamers are studied to provide insight into RNA drug interactions. This ... -
Thermodynamics, kinetics and inclusion body formation of a de novo designed protein Threefoil
(University of Waterloo, 2014-01-28)Threefoil is a small engineered protein of 141 amino acids which is a member of the beta-trefoil superfamily, with three-fold symmetry and high thermal and kinetic stability. Its primary sequence was designed based on a ...
