All this would have not been possible without the support and guidance of my PhD advisor Prof. Jacob Israelachvili. He encouraged and cultivated a collaborative research environment in his group and this has immensely contributed to my success as a PhD student. He taught me to ask the right questions and I express my gratitude and respect to him for enabling me to grow as a Scientist. I would also like to thank my many other lab members who supported me from a professional perspective. I am grateful to Travers Anderson, Stephen Donaldson, Xavier Banquy, Wren Greene and Jing Yu who taught me the SFA technique. I worked together with Nadine Martinez, Nick Cadirov and Kollbe Ahn on many different projects and resolved technical and scientific challenges efficiently in matters of weeks. I am thankful to Wei Wei and Dusty Miller for providing mussel foot proteins and peptides. I greatly appreciate the company of my very close friends (and colleague) Himanshu Mishra and Yair Kaufman for their support and advice. I am thankful to Sandy Chen, Alex Schrader and Dong Woog Lee who made work for me a fun-filled and an entertaining experience. Many thanks to Kai Kristiansen and Greg Carver who helped me troubleshoot technical problems with the instruments in the lab. Nancy Emerson was my guardian in the States and I appreciate all her support for numerous occasions. Prof. Herbert Waite gave countless suggestions and insightful thoughts into the biochemistry aspect of my research. I want to thank my committee members, Prof. Todd Squires, Prof. Mike Gordon and Prof. iv Kim Turner for taking the time to review my research progress annually and providing helpful suggestions. I dedicate this Dissertation to my parents and cannot thank them enough for all of their love and support during my PhD studies and throughout my life. I am grateful to all of my local and international friends at UCSB with whom I share many sweet memories for years to come, esp., with Rodrigo Nery Azevedo and Aviel Chaimovich. Finally I thank the funding agencies: Procter & Gamble, Institute of Collaborative Biotechnologies, National Institute of Health and The Department of Energy. v VITA of SAURABH BASUDEB DAS December, 2014 EDUCATION 2009 Bachelor of Chemical Engineering Chemical Engineering University Institute of Chemical Technology, Mumbai 2014 Doctor of Philosophy Chemical Engineering University of California, Santa Barbara PEER-REVIEWED JOURNAL ARTICLES Das, S.; Rodriguez, N.
