Submission of this thesis marks a milestone in my academic career. After 18 years of schooling, there are lots of people who have helped me, either directly or indirectly, in my achievements in life. It is a pleasure to acknowledge such people.
My deepest thankfulness goes to my thesis advisor, Dr. Shaahin Filizadeh. During the course of my Master’s program, beside being my academic supervisor, he was a great friend, an insightful mentor, an open-minded supporter, and an encouraging person. I cannot imagine a more pleasurable Master’s. We had countless hours of laughter, discussion on many topics, and of course, technical conversation. He also was an incredibly fast (and precise) thesis-reader. I do consider myself privileged to have had the opportunity to work with him.
I wish to express my sincere appreciation for my committee members who took the time to go through my thesis: Dr. Ani Gol´, my internal examiner, who although e was not directly involved with my research, remained a supportive person; and Mr.
Randy Wachal, my external examiner, who kindly agreed to be on my committee and provided me with his extensive technical insight and experience.
