The author would like to acknowledge the tireless efforts of Dr. Bee Lehman and Dr. Matt Naglak for their wonderful instruction and always prompt email replies. This project would be far poorer without their guidance. The author also thanks her graduate collegues for their excellent scholarship, feedback, and friendship throughout this program. 

Finally, to my parents, who never gave up. At the end of the day, this work is for them.
