Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) reliability is one of the major reliability concerns in integrated circuits (IC), which if not addressed while designing devices and circuits, can lead to a permanent damage to the Integrated ...

Silicon Photonics has become a signi ficant area of research in last three decades because of its high speed operation, low power consumption and the most important feature, resistant to electro-magnetic interferences. ...

In this thesis, we study problems under the theme of discovering joint sparsity structure in a set of high-dimensional data samples from linear measurements. Our primary focus is on the regime where the number of samples ...

The discrete k-watchtower problem for a polyhedral terrain T in R3 with n vertices is to nd k vertical segments, called watchtowers, of smallest height, whose bottom end-points (bases) lie on some vertices of T, and ...

Mode division multiplexing is a remarkable strategy to meet the explosively increasing bandwidth requirements in optical communication systems and interconnects. This scheme harnesses the orthogonality of modes to scale ...

Digital payments using personal electronic devices have been steadily gaining in popularity for the last few years. While digital payments using smartphones are very convenient, they are also more susceptible to security ...

Like neutral speech, whispered speech is one of the natural modes of speech production, and it is often used by speakers in their day-to-day life. For some people, such as laryngectomees, whispered speech is the only ...

The ubiquitous network is a heterogeneous wireless network comprising of computing devices such as laptops, smartphones, tablets, PDAs, etc., are connected to any device at any time, anywhere that enabling mobile users to ...

Emerging interactive multimedia applications such as Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality are upcoming important applications in healthcare, autonomous transport, education, tactile internet, and industrial automation. ...

Very large scale multi-agent systems occur both naturally and in engineering applications. In many of these systems, the agents are either selfish or act with varying levels of coordination. Understanding the evolution of ...
