• Investigation of solution-phase and on-chip binding of C-reactive proteins and antibodies 

  Noonan, Ethel (University College Cork, 2014)

  Gold nanoparticles can self-assemble into nanostructures in the presence of suitable linker molecules. The self-assembly of gold nanoparticles functionalized with C-reactive protein (CRP) antibodies in the presence of CRP ...
• Sensing at nanostructures for agri-food and enviromental applications 

  Creedon, Niamh (University College Cork, 2018)

  With a predicted population increase of 2.3 billion people, by 2050, agricultural productivity must be vastly improved and made sustainable. Globally, agriculture must deliver a 60% increase in food production to cope with ...
• Simulated wave hydrodynamics and loading on an offshore monopile 

  Edesess, Ariel J. (University College Cork, 2018)

  Maintenance costs of offshore wind power, where fixed monopile support columns make up the majority of wind turbine types, are up to three times higher than those associated with onshore wind power. High costs are exacerbated ...
• Correlated electron transport across atomic and molecular tunnel junctions 

  McDermott, Shane (University College Cork, 2018)

  As transistors continue to miniaturise the importance of describing electronics on an atomic scale increases. A molecular junction consists of a molecule connected to to metal electrodes via linker molecules and may be ...
• Laboratory scale modelling of a point absorber wave energy converter 

  Flannery, Brian (University College Cork, 2018)

  Finding an effective Power Take Off (PTO) system, that can deal with the low power levels (< 1W), associated with laboratory scale testing of Wave Energy Converts (WEC) is a notoriously difficult problem. This thesis ...
