I will demonstrate how combining concepts learned from the last decade of plastic pollution research with established material selection practices resulted in a quantitative, multi-dimensional framework for use during product design to minimize the environmental impacts of plastic.

This thesis encompasses several nanotechnology approaches in formulating chemotherapy agents and their application across various cancers, including breast, ovarian, pancreatic, lung, and prostate.

This dissertation leverages molecular dynamics simulations to explore the properties of nanoscale materials and interfaces involving gases, liquids and solids, traversing the realms of environmental and biological science.
