Transient Phosphorus Species in Combustion
(2017)Studying the chemistry of organophosphorus compounds (OPCs) at high temperature and understanding their mechanisms have gained increasing attention in fields of fuel catalysis and flame inhibition for polymeric materials. Reactive phosphorus species produced at high temperature are kinetically unstable and known to undergo catalytic reactions which benefit the aforementioned applications. Since long characterizing these short-lived ...Doctoral Thesis -

From Mountains to Molecules: Insights into Soil Carbon Dynamics
(2017)Soil organic carbon (SOM) constitutes the largest terrestrial reservoir of organic carbon, and in a time of unprecedented climate change it is crucial to attain a better understanding of the stability and potential vulnerability of this reservoir. However, how soil organic matter dynamics (carbon stocks, turnover and fluxes) vary across different spatial scales is poorly understood. Additionally, most studies have focused on the top soils, ...Doctoral Thesis -

Tailored Supported Nickel Nanoparticle Catalysts for Dry Reforming of Methane via a Molecular Approach
(2017)Dry reforming of methane (DRM) has become a very appealing reaction in the last decades because it allows a valorization of un-wanted greenhouse gases (CO2, CH4) toward syn-gas production. It is often use in industry as complementary process of steam reforming of methane (SRM) process in order to tune effectively the product composition (H2/CO), which ease the syn-gas conversion to synthetic fuel. Supported nickel nanoparticles (Ni NPs) ...Doctoral Thesis -
Resistive Multiplexed Micromegas Detectors to Search for Dark Sector Physics and Test the Weak Equivalence Principle for Anti-Matter at CERN
(2017)The experiments NA64 and GBAR aiming to explore the still unanswered questions in physics of the existence of dark matter and the matter- antimatter asymmetry, respectively, are presented in the scope of this thesis. NA64 is an experiment at CERN searching for a new U0(1) gauge boson, A0 (dark photon) which may mediate the interaction of dark matter with ordinary matter via a very weak force. The experiment is sensitive to the still ...Doctoral Thesis -
A Constructive Treatment of Enhanced Encryption Schemes
(2017)Encryption is a tool that has traditionally been used to allow confidential communication between two parties. Over the years, several types of encryption have been proposed, including public-key encryption, identity-based encryption, deniable encryption, and functional encryption. These variants provide different features and security guarantees. Their security is typically defined by a game between an adversary and a challenger. Even ...Doctoral Thesis
