Among my friends, I single out devoted friends who were there for me throughout my graduate years. Marky, Saurav, Turgut and I formed a society µστ ρ exploring authentic ethnic cuisines from all around the world. Their adventurous spirits towards trying new things made a lot of fond memories. Also, I would like to thank compassionate Eylem for inviting me to dinners when I was too busy to cook while writing this thesis. I would like to thank Jamie for giving me a patient and caring instructions for the flight lessons.

My parents have always believed in me and supported me. My mother encouraged me to enjoy the moment while trying my best. My father has been the center and driving force for scientific mindset of our family.My brother Yookyung has shared his experties in medical illustrations by creating exceptionally fine illustrations used in my paper and thesis.
