Includes bibliographical references (leaves 57-58). There's not much that can be done to make research easier - but excitement and passion are two key elements of success, and two of the many things I have learned from my advisor, Scott Manalis. It has been (and will continue to be) an awesome opportunity that I am especially thankful for, to work in nanoscale sensing with him. Perhaps the next best thing to a great advisor is having friends to work with who are equally as excited as me, more experienced, and many times smarter. I am forever indebted to all the members of the lab who have contributed to my biggest asset - knowledge. Special respect to those who bestow humour with the facts: Nebojsa, Johnson, Mike, Phil, and of course Thomas without whom I would have been in the lab a lot longer and in Europe a lot less. Thanks for coming to lab with a smile and for helping me leave with one. Places like MIT are excellent institutions, mostly because of their students. I am thankful to all of the graduate students in other labs which are always glad to give some words of advice or spend a few hours explaining something not so trivial to me. Especially to those in Professor Rahul Sarpeshkar's laboratory, especially Soumya and Scott. I am also very lucky to have great friends outside of the lab, for constant support, empathy and for bettering my overall well-being. Also to those who have come into my life and left at some point, I have gained so many more things from you than you may realize. Finally, to those who have probably contributed the most to my research success - without a single formula or circuit diagram, my family: Habibullah, Rosemin and Alizahra. You made me realize that as with life, struggle is the meaning of research. Defeat or victory is in the hands of God, but struggle itself is man's duty and should be his joy. by Rumi Chunara.
