Graph Neural Networks with Parallel Local Neighborhood Aggregations
Graph neural networks (GNNs) have become very popular for processing and analyzing graph-structured data in the last few years. Using message passing as their basic building blocks that aggregate information from neighborhoods, ... -
Topics on Safety and Security of Power Systems
In this thesis, we investigate some of the problems concerning the safety and security of power systems. Since the operational safety of the power system itself is a vast area of research, we choose to investigate the ... -
Tailoring excitonic complexes in layered materials
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) host a variety of strongly bound exciton complexes that control the optical properties in these materials. Apart from spin and valley, layer index provides an additional ... -
Medium Index Contrast Guided Mode Resonant Structures for Photonic Applications in the Visible-Near Infrared Wavelength Regime
Guided mode resonant (GMR) structures are interesting from the point of view of enhanced light-matter interaction and find applications in sensing, filtering, and miniaturized photonic components. The Guided mode resonance ... -
Reinforcement Learning in Large and Structured Environments
In a reinforcement learning (RL) problem, a learner takes actions to control the state of an initially unknown environment so as to maximize the sum of the rewards he obtains. This has several applications in many practical ... -

Visible light communication (VLC) technology is emerging as an attractive technology for wireless communication in indoor and vehicular environments. In VLS systems, light emitting diodes (LED) and photo diodes (PD) ... -
Variational Bayes Algorithms for mmWave and Massive MIMO-OFDM Systems with Low Resolution ADCs
In this thesis, we develop novel low-complexity algorithms for massive multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) systems under practical non-idealities and theoretically analyze their performance. The first problem we consider ... -
Modeling of Permittivity Variations in Stochastic Computational Electromagnetics
With the evolution of 5G systems offering high data rates, major changes are required in the design approach of the components of communication systems. Furthermore, building complex electromagnetic systems at the terahertz ... -
Excitons in monolayer transition metal dichalcogenides
Excitons are quasiparticles formed due to electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the holes in a semiconductor. This Coulomb attraction is very strong in the mono- layers of Transition Metal Dichalcogenides ... -
Nature-inspired Algorithms for Automated Deployment of Outdoor IoT Networks
A vast majority of the Internet of Things (IoT) devices will be connected in a topology where the edge-devices push data to a local gateway, which forwards the data to a cloud for further processing. In sizeable outdoor ... -
How are visual object representations organized and used to perform tasks ?
We rely heavily on vision for our daily activities, and around 40% of our brain is dedicated to vision. It is known that during a visual task, the visual information falling on the retina is processed in a hierarchy of ... -
Design and Analysis of a Re-Entrant Microwave Cavity and Its Application for a High-Performance Accelerometer
Accelerometers with high resolution are required for tracking and navigation in launch vehicles, spacecrafts, missiles and other strategic applications. Pendulous integrating gyroscopic accelerometer and force balanced ... -
