Abstract
Topological defects plays an important role in many physical processes ranging from morphogenesis of phase transitions in condensed matter system to the response to surface confinement and application of external fields. In this dissertation, we investigate the topological defects both in lyotropic and thermotropic nematics in order to characterize the studied materials.
