Bioinspiration for battling bacteria: Nature inspired high aspect ratio nanostructures for new age antibacterial surfaces
Bacterial colonization and biofilm formation on abiotic surfaces effectuate corrosion,
fermentation, and infection resulting in tremendous economic and human losses each year.
Aggravating the situation, new multi-drug ...
Investigation of multiscale biological phenomenon using kinetic modeling and molecular dynamics simulations
Biological systems inherently function at multiple spatial and temporal scales by integrating information across these scales. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating two classes of biological phenomena that ...
Ground Displacements and Stresses around Single and Twin Tunnels using Analytical and Numerical Approaches
Significant emphasis is given nowadays on exploring underground space- in the form of
tunnels- for (i) fast commuting in urban areas, (ii) connectivity to remote areas under different
weather conditions, (iii) military ...
High-Throughput Bending Tests for Investigating Creep Behavior Affected by Structural and Microstructural Inhomogeneities
The bending of cantilevers is an alternate technique for the extraction of power-law creep parameters of materials. It has been shown earlier that in homogeneous systems showing tension-compression symmetry, digital image ...
Inkjet-printed high performance oxide electronics and its application at sensor interfaces
Over the last two decades, printing of oxide semiconductors has received special attention due to its advantages such as low processing temperature, even at room temperature; high electron mobility; good transparency due ...
Thermoplastic epoxy designed using Vitrimer chemistries
Globally, 70 million tons of epoxy thermosets are manufactured at a perplexing rate which constitutes approximately a quarter of polymer generation by weight. A thermosetting polymer contains a permanent crosslinked network ...
Effect of thermo-mechanical treatment on the evolution of microstructure and mechanical properties in a β and a β rich α+β titanium alloy
Near β and metastable β-titanium alloys are difficult to process due to narrow processing window. Lower processing temperature causes difficulty in recrystallization of these alloys especially in the two phase conditions, ...
Design and Performance Analyses of Osculating Cone Waveriders
Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for
space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations.
The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ...
Advancements in Nucleic Acid Lateral Flow Assay
In recent decades, the demand for rapid and precise nucleic acid amplification tests (NAATs)
has grown significantly, driven by the need to address pandemics like COVID-19 and diagnose
infectious diseases such as ...
Paper-Based Point-of-Care Diagnostic Tools: Electrokinetic Nucleic Acid Extraction and Saliva-Based Glucose Detection for Diabetes Monitoring
Currently, we face a global challenge posed by the dual burden of chronic diseases such as diabetes and infectious diseases such as tuberculosis (TB). Low-and middle-income countries are disproportionately overburdened by ...
