Cloudy with a chance of starlight : coupling of smoothed particle hydrodynamics and Monte Carlo radiative transfer for the study of ionising stellar feedback
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisIonising radiation is present in a variety of astrophysical problems, and it is particularly important for shaping the process of star formation in molecular clouds, containing hot, high-mass stars. In order to account for ... -
Exoplanet transit modelling : three new planet discoveries, and a novel artificial neural network treatment for stellar limb darkening
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisThis first part of this thesis concerns the discovery and parameter determination of three hot Jupiter planets, first detected with by the SuperWASP collaboration, and their planetary nature is confirmed with the modelling ... -
Coherence protection in coupled qubit systems
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisDecoherence is a major barrier to the implementation of quantum technologies. Theoretical techniques for understanding decoherence in composite systems have traditionally been focused on systems with distinguishable emission ... -
Living lasers : lasing from biological and biocompatible soft matter
(University of St Andrews, 2018-12-06) - ThesisIn recent years, the study of stimulated emission from and by biological systems has gained wide spread attention as a promising technology platform for novel biointegrated laser. However, the photonic properties and the ... -
A portable, low-cost system for optical explosive detection based on a CMOS camera
(SciTePress, 2016-02-29) - Conference itemHumanitarian demining requires a variety of methods and instrumentation for effective mine clearance, since a wide range of materials are used in mine manufacturing. However, landmines release vapours over time that can ...
