Advanced Instrumentation for Detection of Defects and Diseases in Sericulture
Sericulture is the art of rearing silkworms for silk production. The matured silkworms will be spinning cocoons as a protective shield before they undergo metamorphosis. These cocoons are immersed in boiling water to soften, ... -
Algorithmic and Hardness Results for Fundamental Fair-Division Problems
The theory of fair division addresses the fundamental problem of dividing a set of resources among the participating agents in a satisfactory or meaningfully fair manner. This thesis examines the key computational challenges ... -
Asymptotic Analysis of Multi-scale, Multi-loop Feynman Diagrams
It is very challenging to solve multi-scale, multi-loop Feynman diagrams analytically. The presence of different kinematic scales makes the computation of Feynman diagrams very difficult, sometimes impossible to get the ... -
Chiral Phase Transition Temperature in 3-flavor QCD
The nature of the chiral phase transition in QCD with three massless flavors of quarks remains unresolved despite being studied for nearly four decades. This Ph.D. thesis is a study using Lattice QCD to determine the ... -
Compact objects in exotic premise and underlying gravitational waves
Einstein’s theory of general relativity and quantum mechanics were among the most startling discoveries in the 20th century. Based on these theories, the maximum mass of a non-rotating non-magnetized white dwarf is found ... -
Correlation, superconductivity, and topology in twisted and untwisted layered systems
This thesis is an effort to understand some of the interesting features induced by strong correlation - superconductivity, topology, non-Fermi liquid (NFL) in two dimensional (2D) layered materials. 2D layered materials ... -
Design and analysis of a miniaturized Atomic Force Microscope scan head
An Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) is a type of scanning probe microscope used for nano-scale characterization, topography imaging and manipulation of conducting and insulating samples, at sub-nanometer resolution. Its ... -
Design and Development of Cryogenic Transfer Lines and Studies on Flow Phenomena
Cryogenics refers to the field of science and engineering below 123 K (-150 ºC). Also it deals with the production, utilization and maintenance of the same. Below 123 K, the so called “Permanent gases” such as Argon, ... -
Design and Development of Fiber Bragg Grating Tactile Sensing Devices for Novel Applications in Engineering and Biomedical Fields
Among the five human basic senses, touch is thought to be the sense that makes the world 'real' to us. Tactile sensors are a category of artificial sensors that acquire information through physical touch. Tactile sensors ... -
Development of Graphene Based Sensors for Human Physiological Monitoring and Vacuum Measurement
Nanomaterials have emerged as a remarkable class of materials in recent years owing to their excellent electrical, chemical, and physical properties. The first two-dimensional (2D) material to be discovered, graphene, has ... -
Development of Graphene Palladium Nanocomposite based Flexible Sensors for Strain and Temperature Measurement
In recent years, device manufacturing technology has been shifted from bulk and thin-film materials to nanomaterials, which are emerged as a unique class of materials. Among all the two-dimensional (2D) nanomaterials, ... -
Dynamics of glass forming liquids with emphasis on vibrational modes
The potential energy landscape (PEL) description is regarded as one of the fundamental landmarks in the theory of glass transition, which has found wide applications not only in the understanding of disordered materials ... -
Dynamo Action in Rotating and Shearing Flows
Magnetic fields are omnipresent in universe. They play important role in the formation of stars, galaxies and the accretion onto compact objects and the collimation of the relativistic jets of radio galaxies. It is intriguing ... -
Electrical transport and optical studies of spin-orbit coupled topological phases in different correlation regimes
The interplay of spin-orbit coupling (SOC) and electron-electron correlation in different regimes gave birth to many novel topological phases with exotic properties ranging from quantum transport to superconductivity. One ... -
Electrical transport study of Graphene/WSe2 Heterostructure
Spintronics has emerged as a novel platform to build information storage and logic devices in the last few decades. Graphene promises a long spin propagation length even at room temperature due to its low spin-orbit ... -
Electrical waves in mathematical models of human-ventricular tissue: effects of different modeling formalisms, electrophysiological factors, and heterogeneities on ventricular arrhythmias and the termination of these arrhythmias via a deep-learning approach
Sudden cardiac death (SCD) remains one of the significant causes of mortality in industrialized and developing countries. SCD is often caused by life-threatening cardiac arrhythmias like ventricular tachycardia and ... -
Electronic structure of two-dimensional materials: Effect of point defects and moiré patterns
In the last two decades, research on two-dimensional (2D) materials has gained momentum due to their capability to host a wide range of novel phases of matter. These materials have also found applications in electronic, ... -
Enhancing the spin-orbit torque efficiency in Pt/CoFeB/Pt based perpendicularly magnetized systems
Controlling and switching magnetization by the process of current-induced torque has a considerable advantage in lower power consumption for a memory device and spin logic device application. For a heavy metal (HM) / ... -
Exploring carrier dynamics in van-der-Waals heterostructures with shot noise spectroscopy, thermoelectricity and opto-electronic study
In the last two decades, there has been tremendous progress in two-dimensional (2D) - material research. It is mainly due to the availability of a large selection of 2D-materials and their van-der-Waals heterostructures. ... -
