- This the first analysis in the literature of the formation of quantum dot molecules from strained nanorings. This sophisticated non-linear analysis is novel and appropriate to this problem. It is significant in that it allows for the quantitative design of manufacturing routes for the production of complex quantum dot nanostructures, controlling the number and size. This work lead to invited talks at SIAM conferences in Philadelphia 2015 and Portland 2017 (Prof Brian Spencer, U Buffalo, http://www.nsm.buffalo.edu/~spencerb/) and Valencia 2019 (Chaozhen Wei, https://www.wpi.edu/people/faculty/cwei4).
