Acknowledgements
I would first like to start off by thanking my sponsor Noble Energy for giving me the incredible opportunity and experience that FSI encompasses it has truly been one of the best experiences of my life. Because of Noble Energy I was able to participate in research which is an opportunity that few others get and for that I am very grateful. I would also like to thank my mentor Dr. Seth Frietze and his lab assistant Breanna Culler for all their help during my stay here at UNC. I would also like to thank my instructor Amy Dunn for all of her help with the research paper, presentation, and poster for this research. I couldn't have done it without you. Finally I would like to thank all of the staff at FSI including the RA's, instructors, Lori Ball, and MAST for everything they have done to make this program possible. And finally I would like to thank Jacqueline Garcia, my lab partner and good friend. This was truly a wonderful experience and it will not be forgotten.
