Studies on EEG correlates of non-ordinary states of consciousness and slow-paced breathing
Studies on the non-ordinary states of consciousness (NSCs) induced by meditation, hypnosis, trance, and slow-paced breathing are gaining visibility due to their potential efficacy in treating various clinical conditions. ...
Secure Computation Protocol Suite for Privacy-Conscious Applications
As an alternative to performing analytics in the clear, there is an increasing demand for developing privacy-preserving solutions that aim to protect sensitive data while still allowing for its efficient analysis. Among ...
High Dimensional Quantum Information Technology Using Photonics: Protocol Development and Implementation Schemes
This thesis explores the realm of high-dimensional quantum information processing through the lens of photonics, focusing on developing and implementing quantum technologies based on d-level quantum systems known as qudits. ...
Improved Algorithms for Variants of Bin Packing and Knapsack
We study variants of two classical optimization problems: Bin Packing and Knapsack. Both bin packing and knapsack fall under the regime of "Packing and Covering Problems". In bin packing, we are given a set of input items, ...
Exploring Welfare Maximization and Fairness in Participatory Budgeting
Participatory budgeting (PB) is a voting paradigm for distributing a divisible resource, usually called a budget, among a set of projects by aggregating the preferences of individuals over these projects. It is implemented ...
Excitonic complexes in semiconducting monolayers and their twisted heterojunctions
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 ...
Generalized Likelihood Ratio Procedures for Early Detection of Machine Faults
Condition monitoring of industrial machinery is an important example of a cyber physical system (CPS), in which measurements on a machine, transmitted over a wireless network, are used to make inferences about the health ...
Specification Synthesis with Constrained Horn Clauses
Many practical problems in software development, verification and testing rely on specifications. The problem of specification synthesis is to automatically find relational constraints for undefined functions, called ...
Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles - An Empirical Study
We study the Maximum Independent Set of Rectangles (MISR) problem. The problem involves a collection of n axis-parallel rectangles in 2D with weights. For the unweighted case, the goal is to find the maximum number of ...
Privacy in Information Retrieval, Delivery and Distributed Computing
The aim of our work is to address the challenges of privacy in information retrieval, information
delivery, and in distributed computing systems. We focus on reducing the download and upload
costs and decreasing the ...
