To my parents. ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS During the past five years at Michigan so many things have happened and there are so many people to thank. First and foremost, it’s my parents who have encouraged me to pursue PhD studies. I thank them for their encouragements and supports throughout my academic career. To Prof. Daniel Scheeres, who has been my PhD advisor and a life-long mentor: it is his guidance and help that made this dissertation exist. I want to thank him, but no matter how much say here, I would not feel I have said enough. He has taught me the concept of how much one can owe someone so much. Hence, instead of thanking him, I promise that I will do the same as I have learned from him. Thank you for teaching me this valuable lesson! To Sophia Lim, who has patiently encouraged my studies and gave me the motivation for completing this dissertation: I thank you. Also, I am very grateful
