1. Atomic Scale Design of Clean Energy Materials : Efficient Solar Energy Conversion and Gas Sensing
Abstract : The focus of this doctoral thesis is the atomic level design of photocatalysts and gas sensing materials. The band gap narrowing in the metal oxides for the visible-light driven photocatalyst as well as the interaction of water and gas molecules on the reactive surfaces of metal oxides and the electronic structure of kaolinite has been studied by the state-of-art calculations.

2. Food or fuel? : trade-offs between food and biofuels globally and in small-scale organic agriculture
Abstract : There are great expectations on agriculture to provide both food and fuels in the future. Previous attempts to estimate the global bioenergy potential have produced varying results, indicating major uncertainty. This thesis investigated the global theoretical 'potential', or limit, for biofuels based on current agricultural systems. READ MORE

4. Energy metabolism and angiogenesis in atherosclerosis and cancer
Abstract : Energy metabolism requires supply of glucose and oxygen. In atherosclerotic plaques and cancer tumors, there are local areas with mismatch in demand and supply of oxygen and nutrients. The resulting cellular energy imbalance may promote energy failure and stimulation of angiogenesis. READ MORE

5. Crisis in Energy Metabolism - Mitochondrial Defects and a New Disease Entity
Abstract : Impairment of energy metabolism may be associated with severe implications for affected individuals since all fundamental cell functions are energy-dependent. Disorders of energy metabolism are often genetic and associated with defects in the oxidative phosphorylation in mitochondria. READ MORE
