Electrochemical - Morphological Evolution of the Positive Electrode in Autonomous Soluble Lead Redox Flow Batteries
The world is witnessing a transition where reliance on renewable energy is increasing. As of 2025, the renewable electricity capacity has risen to roughly 5000 GW (from 2000 GW in 2010). This progressive growth is to be ... -
Development of a Two-LED based Smartphone Footprint device for Sickle Cell Anemia and Hemoglobin Estimation
Anemia is a serious health concern worldwide, with sickle-cell anemia leading to more severe illness and higher mortality. Globally, sickle-cell disease has historically been associated with very high early-childhood ... -
Molecular insights into the regulation of host unfolded protein response and angiogenesis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis pathogenesis
Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb), the causative agent of tuberculosis (TB), continues to co-evolve with the human population, rendering it one of the most significant global health threats among infectious diseases. The ... -
Mineral-Inspired Oxides: Synthesis and Structure, Luminescence, and Electrocatalytic Studies.
Transition-metal oxides (TMOs) and mineral-inspired oxides have emerged as versatile materials owing to their rich structural diversity and tunable physical properties. A broad class of oxide materials such as those adopting ... -
Plug in the pupa: Insights into the evolutionary ecology of the complex life cycle of Aedes aegypti
Multiple traits, including antipredator responses, foraging behaviour, development rate and fecundity, contribute towards an organism’s fitness. These diverse traits interact through shared resources allocated to maximise ... -
Flexible Nanostructured Hydrogen Sensors
Hydrogen is rapidly emerging as a key energy carrier and industrial feedstock in the global transition to cleaner energy systems. However, due to its high diffusivity and flammability, even minor leaks can result in ... -
Treebeard: A Schedule Guided Retargetable Compiler for Decision Tree Inference
The proliferation of machine learning together with the rapid evolution of the hardware ecosystem has led to a surge in the demand for model inference on a variety of hardware. Decision tree based models are the most popular ... -
Shared and distinct mechanisms of saccade preparation, external and internal attention
Everyday activities – like reading an email, watching a football match, scrolling through social media, or window-shopping – all involve quickly scanning complex visual scenes using rapid eye movements called “saccades.” ... -
On High-Speed Curved Compression Ramp Air Intakes
A scramjet, i.e., a supersonic combustion ramjet, is an air-breathing engine that enables sustained atmospheric flight in the hypersonic regime. It consists broadly of four key components: the air intake, isolator, combustor, ... -
Global Retrieval of Aerosol Absorption Using Multi-Satellite Retrieval: Algorithm Development And Performance Evaluation
Aerosol absorption, quantified by single scattering albedo (SSA), is an important parameter for assessing the climatic impact of aerosols. While there are several satellites providing aerosol optical depth (AOD), the ... -
Harnessing Packed-bed Biofilm Reactors for High-rate Saline Nitrification: An Innovative Application for Intensive Recirculating Aquaculture Systems
Saline effluents containing ammonia are generated by various human activities, including aquaculture, food processing, chemical industries, landfilling, etc. necessitating treatment to mitigate environmental harm. The ... -
Optical Signal Processing using Nested Ring Resonator Based Photonic Integrated Circuits
The continuous advancement of integrated photonics demands compact, reconfigurable, and multifunctional building blocks capable of supporting a wide range of optical signal processing functionalities within a single platform. ... -
A Study of Convergence, Quasi-Optimality, and Error Analysis of Adaptive Finite Element Methods for a class of PDEs
The central objective of this thesis is to carry out a rigorous analysis of finite element methods for second-order linear elliptic PDEs and for a variety of optimal control problems governed by second-order linear elliptic ... -
On the role of vibrational-electronic couplings in dictating the ultrafast photophysics of molecular dyads
Ultrafast energy and charge transfer driven by coupled vibrational–electronic (“vibronic”) motions is a central topic in much of photochemistry and photophysics. Accurately describing the quantum dynamics requires an exact ... -
Non-Gaussian Signatures of Inflationary Gauge Fields: Higher-Order Correlations and Associated Soft Theorems
In modern cosmology, the inflationary paradigm offers a natural framework for understanding the large-scale homogeneity and isotropy of our observed universe and the origin of primordial density perturbations. The quantum ... -
Characterization of Quality Factors of Superconducting Resonators
Superconducting lumped element resonators play a pivotal role in circuit quantum electrodynamics (cQED) architectures, serving both as protective filters that isolate qubits from environmental noise and as sensitive probes ... -
FMCW Radar Systems for Indoor Biomedical Applications: Hardware, Software, and Techniques
The growing global demand for unobtrusive, non-contact health monitoring systems, driven by aging populations and the increasing prevalence of neurological disorders, underscores the urgent need for innovative sensing ... -
Bay of Bengal Circulation Features at Different Spatio-temporal Scales
The Bay of Bengal is a semi-enclosed tropical basin shaped by monsoon winds and massive freshwater input, producing a warm, low salinity, stratified upper ocean with a shallow mixed layer and a thick barrier layer in the ... -
Whole-Program and Non-Bare-Metal Control-Flow Attestation
Software attestation enables a remote entity to verify that a program executed as intended on an untrusted platform, with applications in domains such as embedded systems, Internet of Things (IoT), and cloud-edge computing. ... -
Compressive behavior of continuous fiber polymer composites in the presence of process-induced defects
The current work examines how process-induced defects influence the compressive behavior of composite structures. The defects analyzed include wrinkles at the macroscale and fiber misalignment at the microscale. ...
