Novel copper-catalysed coupling reactions of diphenylmethane (2021)
Thesis

In this thesis, a novel synthesis of the drug fendiline was attempted. Fendiline was sold commercially as an angina therapeutic, and recent studies have shown that it is also anti-malarial and has activity against cancers with a high mortality rate....

Acoustic metamaterials comprised of dead-end pores and black hole effect for low frequency sound absorption in linear and nonlinear regimes (2021)
Thesis

The aim of this work is to design and test acoustic metamaterial absorbers particularly for mitigation of
low frequency sound of high intensity. The absorbers designed are formed of a series of plates with a
central perforation, separated by air... Read More about Acoustic metamaterials comprised of dead-end pores and black hole effect for low frequency sound absorption in linear and nonlinear regimes.
