Abstract

I, David L.F. Roy, confirm that the work presented in this thesis is my own. Where information has been derived from other sources, I confirm that this has been indicated in the thesis. I would sincerely like to send my gratitude out to my supervisor, Dr. Edana Cassol, for her belief in me, her hard work, her understanding, and her constant motivation to make me a better Master's student. I have a learned an incredible amount over the last two years, more than I had ever expected, and a lot of that is thanks to you. I would like to thank my co-supervisor, Dr. Ashok Kumar, for providing me with the trust, guidance, and opportunity to work in your lab over the past two years. Without you, this research would not have been possible. Thank you as well to final member of my Thesis Advisory Committee, Dr. Martin Holcik, for providing me with constructive criticism and support during my Master's.
