Unraveling certain high energy astrophysical features based on advective accretion disks
The presence of an accretion disk around a neutron star (NS) or a black hole (BH) is mainly responsible for the observed X-rays from the night sky. NS or BH is a part of the binary systems, and matter flows from a companion ... -
Understanding Nucleic Acid Charge Transport Properties using Multiscale Modelling Techniques
Understanding charge transport in molecular systems is of fundamental interest in rapidly growing field of molecular electronics as well as to understand biological signal transfer processes which are accompanied by the ... -
The multiphase interstellar medium: A study of various physical and kinematical properties
Interstellar medium (ISM) is the relatively empty space in between the stars. It has different phases, like, neutral, molecular, and ionized. Neutral interstellar medium, which is pervaded all over the galaxy, is sometimes ... -
Role of Friction in Microswimmer and Active Filament Motion
Friction is pervasive in all fields of science. It is the key factor that emerging technologies involving autonomous motion at micron scales such as micro-bots need to overcome in order to be efficient. They fall in the ... -
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. ... -
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 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, ... -
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, ... -
Fundamental aspects of the interface engineering in the heavy metal/ferromagnet-based perpendicularly magnetized systems
The ferromagnetic (FM) material finds its applications due to the property of spontaneous magnetization. An FM object can hold its state of magnetization unless any external stimuli change it. The easy manipulation of its ... -
Study of Metal and Oxide based Synaptic Transistors by Ionic liquid Gating for Neuromorphic Computing
Neuromorphic Computing (NC), which emulates neural activities of the human brain, is considered for low-power implementation of artificial intelligence. Towards realizing NC, fabrication, and investigations of synaptic ... -
Quantum walks and spatial search on regular graph
Random walks and algorithms based upon them are used widely to explore large state spaces that arise while studying physical systems. In this thesis, we will discuss some quantum generalizations of such algorithms and study ... -
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 ... -
Transport, localization and entanglement in disordered and interacting systems: From real space to Fock space
In this thesis, we explore some of the exciting physics of condensed matter systems manifested because of imperfection or disorder and interactions among the constituent particles. In phenomena like transport, e.g., ... -
Hardy's inequalities for Grushin operator and Hermite multipliers on Modulation spaces
This thesis consists of two broad themes. First one revolves around the Hardy's inequalities for the fractional power of Grushin operator $\G$ which is chased via two different approaches. In the first approach, we first ... -

Superconductivity in strongly correlated systems: Heavy fermions, Cuprates, Infinite-layer Nickelates
The phase diagrams of the heavy fermion, transition-metal (copper-, nickel-) oxides materials have a wide variety of different phases. It is believed that, the strong correlation among electrons governs most of the ... -
Finite Element Analysis of Optimal Control Problems Governed by Certain PDEs
The primary goal of this thesis is to study finite element based \textit{a priori} and \textit{a posteriori} error analysis of optimal control problems of various kinds governed by linear elliptic PDEs of second order. ... -
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 ... -
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 ...
