Low-power design techniques involving hardware and algorithms framework are a fundamental challenge of the modern electronic system. The internet connects devices (IoTs) with advanced capabilities in sensing and processing ...

A broadcast channel that is very effective for disseminating common content becomes highly inefficient when the users request different content. To address this inefficiency of the broadcast channel over which a server ...

Monolayers of transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) host excitons, a bound state of electron and hole. Excitonic many-body complexes dominate the optical spectra obtained from this system and manipulating these complexes ...

This dissertation work is motivated by the critical need to address a perennial global problem, namely, how to mitigate the distress of the small and marginal agricultural farmers in emerging economies. Key reasons behind ...

Sleep is not a single uniform state, but rather a cyclical pattern involving multiple stages such as rapid eye movement (REM) and non-REM (NREM stages N1, N2, and N3). Polysomnography (PSG) is considered as the gold standard ...

The field of photonics offers a robust platform for efficient light-based technologies, directly impacting or serving as competent alternatives to address scientific problems. With the advent and advancement of micro-nano ...

Building good models for automatic speech recognition (ASR) requires large amounts of annotated speech data. Recent advancements in end-to-end speech recognition have aggravated the need for data. However, most Indian ...

Streaming codes are a class of erasure codes that operate on a stream of packets and enable recovery of dropped or erased packets under a decoding-delay constraint. The primary focus of this thesis is on providing constructions ...

In DNA-based data storage, the desired information is encoded into the quaternary sequence of synthetic DNA molecules, called oligos. We look at secure communication via information-containing oligos in the usual three-party ...

In the recent years, the world has been devastated by multiple pandemics arising out of different variants of the Corona virus. When an epidemic or pandemic strikes, it is important to move quickly to contain and suppress ...
