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 ...

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 ...

The field of photonics offers a robust platform for efficient light-based technologies, directly impacting or serving as competent alternatives to address scientific problems. With the advent and advancement of micro-nano ...

Streaming codes are a class of erasure codes that operate on a stream of packets and enable recovery of dropped or erased packets under a decoding-delay constraint. The primary focus of this thesis is on providing constructions ...

In DNA-based data storage, the desired information is encoded into the quaternary sequence of synthetic DNA molecules, called oligos. We look at secure communication via information-containing oligos in the usual three-party ...

Cell-free massive multiple-input multiple-output (CF-mMIMO) systems, where multiple access points (APs) jointly and coherently serve a large number of user-equipments (UEs) in a geographical area, offer multi-fold improvement ...

Accurate identification of surgical margins in brain tumors is of significant prognostic importance. Despite the availability of 5-ALA and image guidance methods, recognizing tumor boundaries is highly subjective, dependent ...

Spectral efficiency (SE) and energy-efficiency (EE) are the two key performance indicators for next-generation wireless systems. The SE specifies how much information can be communicated by the system per unit time and ...

Near to mid infrared (NIR-MIR) chemical sensing is a remarkably influential analytical technique that capitalizes on the interaction between matter and infrared radiation within a specific wavelength range. Predominantly ...
