2D Piezotronics: Performance to Functionality
In the pursuit of interactive electronic devices, there is a need for smart materials which can serve multiple functionalities. 2D (two-dimensional) layered materials have gained attention in semiconductor technology because ... -
Abstractions and Optimizations for Data-driven Applications Across Edge and Cloud
Modern data driven applications have a novel set of requirements. Advances in deep neural networks (DNN) and computer vision (CV) algorithms have made it feasible to extract meaningful insights from large-scale deployments ... -
Advances in Architecturing of Large-Scale Photovoltaics: Packaging and Incidence Angle Agnostic Hierarchical Nanostructures
Encapsulant of Graphene embedded polymer that exhibits low permeability to moisture and oxygen were used as a packaging material for OPVDs. Graphene-Surlyn encapsulated and unencapsulated devices were stored both in ambient ... -
An arbitrary lagrangian eulerian volume of fluid method for floating body dynamics simulation
The floating body dynamics is treated as a Fluid-Structure Interaction (FSI) problem. A FSI problem is where the forces from the fluid move/deform the interacting structure, and the movement of the structure, in turn, ... -
Assessing protein contribution to phenotypic change using short, coarse grained molecular dynamics simulations
Understanding the functional mapping between genotype and phenotype is an important problem that has ramifications for various diseases. Various existing computational methods can infer these disease-related functional ... -
Bacterial cellular heterogeneity in inducible gene expression and drug susceptibility
Biological processes are inherently noisy, and such stochasticity can result in significant cell to cell variability in isogenic bacterial populations. Functionally, cellular heterogeneity can have significant impact on ... -
Constrained Stochastic Differential Equations on Smooth Manifolds.
Dynamical systems with uncertain fluctuations are usually modelled using Stochastic Differential Equations (SDEs). Due to operation and performance related conditions, these equations may also need to satisfy the constraint ... -
Data Driven Stabilization Schemes for Singularly Perturbed Differential Equations
This thesis presents a novel way of leveraging Artificial Neural Network (ANN) to aid conventional numerical techniques for solving Singularly Perturbed Differential Equation (SPDE). SPDEs are challenging to solve with ... -
Delineating the dynamics of neutrophil response in multiple inflammatory stimuli and its consequences
In this thesis, we investigate the regulation of neutrophils, an important component of the immune system, and its implications on inflammation and pathological conditions. We use biomaterial implants to induce chronic ... -
Design and Analysis of Random Access Protocols for Massive Machine-Type Communications
Massive machine-type communications (mMTC) is a 5G and beyond use case, where the network is expected to serve millions of devices per square kilometre. Typical mMTC devices include smart energy meters, pressure sensors, ... -
Design Principles of Phenotypic Robustness and Plasticity in Gene Regulatory Networks underlying Cancer Metastasis
Metastasis – the process of cancer cells leaving the primary tumor and colonizing multiple organs – remains a major cause of cancer mortality. However, it is a highly inefficient process with only 0.01% of disseminated ... -
Development and Characterization of Multi-finger GaN HEMT for Power switching applications
Power electronics is the branch that connects electricity and the world. Power devices play a significant role in reducing CO2 emissions and saving energy. As technology develops, the main focus is reducing energy consumption, ... -
Development and Performance Evaluation of the Flapping Wing with In-situ Piezoceramic Actuator
Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAV) are essentially automatic flight vehicles having dimensions, wingspan and airspeed, smaller than the conventional aerial vehicles. UAVs are employed widely in applications such as surveillance ... -
Development of Efficient Scheduling Algorithms for Dynamic Real Time Scheduling of Burn-in Oven(S) in Semiconductor Manufacturing
This study addresses dynamic and real-time scheduling of a bottleneck batch processing machine, particularly Burn-in Oven (BO) used in the testing stage of Semiconductor Manufacturing (SM) process to perform Burn-in operation ... -
Development of Novel Deep Learning Models with Improved Generalizability for Medical Image Analysis
Medical imaging is a process of visualization of disease/tissue in a non-invasive manner. Several imaging techniques like computed tomography (CT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and ... -
Development of Solution Methodologies for Multi-Product, Multi-Component, Production-Inventory Planning Problem in a Component Remanufacturing Environment considering Backorders and Quantity Discounts
Closed loop supply chain has been an area of research which has evolved over the years. This thesis aims to address a problem in this domain, specifically from the perspective of an Original Equipment Manufacturer (OEM) ... -
Dynamical systems biology approach to identify mediators of the Epithelial-Hybrid-Mesenchymal spectrum
Cancer metastasis – the spread of cancer cells from one organ to another – remains the major cause of cancer-related deaths. A hallmark of metastasizing cells is their ability to adapt quickly and reversibly to their dynamic ... -
