Today marks the culmination of many years of hard work. I am incredibly grateful to everyone who has helped me achieve this.

It is with great pleasure that I announce my dissertation has successfully been accepted by the Purdue Graduate school! The dissertation is under a two year embargo, though I am happy to provide interested parties with a copy. Please see the Publications page for more information.

Today I successfully defended my dissertation! I am very grateful to my advisor, Dr. Russ-Eft for all her help and support! I also appreciate the other committee members for their guidance--without their help, this dissertation would not have been nearly as interesting. Finally, I would like to thank my family and friends for their support and encouragement throughout this process.
