The setting of the transmission of information over noisy, binary-input, memoryless channels is today well-understood, owing to the work of several information theorists, beginning with Claude Shannon. It is known that it ...

In the age of artificial intelligence, it is important for machines to figure out who is speaking automatically and in what language - a task humans are naturally capable of. Developing algorithms that automatically infer ...

Smart-X applications are realized by interconnecting several objects to achieve real-time capability by improving safety, reliability, and efficiency. These interconnections can be broadly classified as physical connections ...

We study two fundamental problems related to geometric packing and covering, and design algorithms with improved worst-case performance guarantees for them. These problems have numerous applications in resource allocation, ...

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. ...

Real-world systems consisting of interacting entities can be effectively represented as time-evolving networks or graphs, where the entities are depicted as nodes, and the interactions between them are represented as ...

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 ...
