Performance improvement of meshless methods for practical time domain electromagnetic analyses.
Solution of Maxwell's equations for practical antennas, filters, waveguides and other microwave devices requires use of numerical methods. Popular numerical methods include the finite difference time domain method (FDTD), ... -
Shape-constrained Biomedical Image Segmentation and Applications
The detection, segmentation, and delineation of the targeted regions of interest in biomedical images are fundamental steps for computer-aided assessment and prescreening. In this thesis, we focus on shape-constrained ... -
Experiences in using Reinforcement Learning for Directed Fuzzing
Directed testing is a technique to analyze user-specified target locations in the program. It reduces the time and effort of developers by excluding irrelevant parts of the program from testing and focusing on reaching ... -
Achieving Fairness in the Stochastic Multi-Armed Bandit Problem
The classical Stochastic Multi-armed Bandit (MAB) problem provides an abstraction for many real-world decision making problems such as sponsored-search auctions, crowd-sourcing, wireless communication, etc. In this work, ... -
Modeling, Analysis and Control of Reconfigurable Battery/Grid Tied Solar Photo-Voltaic Inverter
Grid reliability and power outages are key concerns today, due to the ever-increasing energy demand. Traditionally, Uninterruptible Power Supplies (UPS) with battery storage have been employed to contend with grid outages. ... -
Face Recognition in Unconstrained Environment
The goal of computer vision is to provide the ability to machines to understand image data and infer the useful information from it. The inferences highly depend on the quality of the image data. But in many real-world ... -
Energy-Efficient Data Fusion Techniques for Wireless Sensor Networks
Wireless sensor networks (WSNs) are finding increasing use in applications such as environmental monitoring, military surveillance, and healthcare due to their low cost and ease of deployment. However, the nodes in a ... -
First-principles based study of graphene inserted tellurene-metal interface
Atomically thin two-dimensional (2D) materials have attracted extensive research interest since the journey started with the successful isolation of graphene in 2004. 2D materials have shown remarkable advancement in the ... -
Hardware Emulation of a Long Transmission Line by High Frequency Power Electronic Converter for the study of Switching Transients
To ensure smooth functioning of the grid, the reliability and robustness of the power system equipment needs to be precisely evaluated during their development process. But direct on- eld tests of most of the equipment ... -
Robust Algorithms for recovering planted structures in Semi-random instances
In this thesis, we study algorithms for three fundamental graph problems. These are NP-hard problems which have not been understood completely as there is a signifiicant gap between the algorithmic and the hardness fronts ... -
Tactile Cyber-Physical Systems: A Testbed, A Performance Metric and Network Resource Allocation Protocols
Tactile Cyber-Physical Systems (TCPS) use haptic, audio and video modalities to facilitate humans to perform real-time physical interaction of remote objects over ultra-low latency and ultra-reliable networks referred to ... -
Signcryption in a Quantum World
With recent advancements and research on quantum computers, it is conjectured that in the foreseeable future, sufficiently large quantum computers will be built to break essentially all public key cryptosystems currently ... -
Algorithms for Processing RGBD Images and Videos for Depth-Based 3D Video Systems
In recent times, immersive visual media such as Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR), 3DTV and Free Viewpoint Television (FTV) have garnered tremendous interest. Immersive visual media content typically provides ... -
Optimal Code Constructions for Some Multi-sender Index Coding Problems
An instance of the multi-sender index coding problem consists of a set of senders collectively having all the messages demanded by a set of receivers. Each receiver knows a subset of messages a priori, called its side ... -
Error Correction in Index Coding And Coded Caching
In an index coding problem, there is a sender which has a set of messages and there are multiple receivers demanding possibly different subsets of these messages and possessing some other subsets of these messages as ... -
Protocols for quantum information processing on graph states
Quantum entanglement is a unique phenomenon that occurs in quantum systems and ensures the feasibility of tasks considered impossible in the classical world. Two such important tasks are superdense coding and quantum ... -
