SUMMARY:MASc Oral Exam| Characterizing Self-assembled Nanostructures via\nS
 hapelet Functions by Matthew Tino
CLASS:PUBLIC
DESCRIPTION:You are welcome to attend Matthew Tino's MASc oral exam\, where
  he will\ndiscuss his research in Characterizing Self-assembled Nanostruc
 tures\nvia Shapelet Functions\n\nThe exam will take place virtually and in
  person in E6-2022. To join\nonline\, please use the link below:\n\nLink t
 o exam [/www.whereby.com/comphys]\n\nAbstract:\n\nCharacterization of self
 -assembled nanostructures is important to\ndevelop structure-property rela
 tions but remains a difficult task due\nto inherent defects/disorder. Exis
 ting methods\, such as\nbond-orientational order theory\, contain inherent
  limitations that\nrestrict widespread use.  A recent and promising appro
 ach uses a set\nof orthogonal functions called shapelets. This work presen
 ts\nextensions to existing shapelet-based techniques and new shapelet\nmet
 hods to quantify local orientation and topological defects. The\nmethods a
 re provided in an open-source Python library to promote\ncollaboration in 
 shapelet research.\n\nSupervisor: Professor Nasser Abukhdeir
