Evaluation Frameworks for Informed Multi-Site Multi-Variate Hydrological Assessment
The process of choosing a suitable hydrological model, calibrating it, and evaluating its performance poses intricate challenges for a modeler. The process of model selection is frequently influenced by the modeller's ...
Novel Microfluidic Tools for Multiplex Colorimetric Detection of Analytes and Point Mutation Detection in Infectious Pathogens
Recently, the need for affordable point-of-care tests has grown exponentially. An ideal point of
care (POC) test or device should satisfy the WHO-endorsed ASSURED criteria, meaning that the
test/device should be accessible, ...
Design and Performance Analyses of Osculating Cone Waveriders
Modern mission requirements for long-range maneuverable hypersonic vehicles for
space, military, and transportation applications necessitate vehicle design innovations.
The primary challenges that a hypersonic vehicle ...
Platinum overlayers characterization and fabrication via self-terminating electrodeposition
Hydrogen is considered a promising alternative fuel for the future. However, despite its perception as a “zero-carbon” energy carrier, fossil fuels remain the primary feedstocks for hydrogen production, involving significant ...
Micromechanics of Wedge and Cone Indentation of Metallic Specimens with Subsurface Voids
Near-surface voids and pores occur in metal parts manufactured by processes as diverse as casting, powder metallurgy, and additive manufacturing. These pores range in size from a few microns to a few mm, depending on the ...
Aggregate and Disaggregate-level Models of Public Transit Ridership in Bengaluru, India
Ridership forecasting models are valuable tools for public transit agencies to assess and
quantify the possible impacts of their operational strategies and service improvements on transit
demand and revenue. Although ...
Mesoscale Modelling of sheared lamellar mesophases
The lamellar phase or smectic lyotropic liquid crystalline medium, which
is made up of alternating flat sheets of water and surfactant bilayers shearing
past each other in an imposed flow. Surprisingly, In practical ...
Uniaxial Fatigue Behavior of Freestanding Platinum-Aluminide (PtAl) Bond Coat
Pt-aluminide (PtAl) bond coat is used as a part of Thermal Barrier Coating (TBC) system on Ni-base superalloy components in advanced gas turbine aeroengines. The thickness of B2-NiAl intermetallic based diffused coating ...
Investigation of multiscale biological phenomenon using kinetic modeling and molecular dynamics simulations
Biological systems inherently function at multiple spatial and temporal scales by integrating information across these scales. In this thesis, we are interested in investigating two classes of biological phenomena that ...
Exploring Hydrological Processes, Modeling Decisions, and Deep Learning for Improved Hydrologic Assessment
Hydrological modeling is complicated by the intricate challenges and uncertainties associated with understanding hydrological processes. This thesis aims at answering some of the key research questions related to ...
