The thesis, entitled as “Stereoselective synthesis of functionalized allenes, Total synthesis of Monticolides A and B, and towards the total synthesis of Tulearin C” is divided into two chapters. Section A chapter-1 deals ... -
Novel Regularized Image Reconstruction Algorithms for Sparse Photoacoustic Tomography
Among all tissue imaging modalities, photo-acoustic tomography (PAT), has been getting increasing attention in the recent past due to the fact that it has high contrast, high penetrability, and has capability of retrieving ... -
Molecular and biochemical studies on components of transcription regulation, tropane alkaloid biosynthesis and signal transduction in the medicinal plant Datura metel L.
Tropane alkaloids (TA) are among the oldest medicines known to humankind as they possess hallucinogenic and poisonous properties. Datura metel, an herbaceous plant, belongs to the family Solanaceae whose members are well ... -
Understanding mRNA fate regulation by RGG motif protein, Sbp1
Cellular events that rely on translation regulation has been well established, however the molecular details of factors involved in bringing translation control remains inadequately explored. RNA binding proteins form ... -
Development of quantitative RNA sequencing methods to understand RNA variant diversity.
The advent of next-generation sequencing (NGS) has accelerated biological research by providing the opportunity to connect genome level sequence information to function. One key application of NGS has been analysis of gene ... -

Photocatalytic and Photoelectrocatalytic systems for water remediation and energy applications
This PhD work consists of two main parts. The first part focuses on photocatalytic systems for water remediation from bacteria and phenolic compounds, and the second part deals with photoelectrocatalytic systems for biomass ... -
Development of Fully Data Driven Novel Methods for Improving the micro-Computed Tomography Image Quality for Digital Rock
The Digital Rock workflow is an emerging framework utilizing advances in imaging technologies and state-of-the-art image processing algorithms to construct digital models of reservoir rocks. These digital models become ... -
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 ... -
MPCLeague: Robust MPC Platform for Privacy-Preserving Machine Learning
In the modern era of computing, machine learning tools have demonstrated their potential in vital sectors, such as healthcare and finance, to derive proper inferences. The sensitive and confidential nature of the data in ... -
Optimal Redundancy in Distributed Systems for Latency and Repair
Distributed systems are employed in many modern storage and computing architecture for greater reliability and cost-efficiency. There are several important considerations in the design and implementation of such distributed ... -
Development and Evaluation of Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation Coatings for Spacecraft Applications
Spacecraft structures are often fabricated out of light weight materials in order to reduce the overall mass, thereby reducing the launch cost and/or increasing the payload capability. Aluminium alloys, especially AA6061, ... -
Microstructure and Electrochemical Properties of Electrodeposited High Entropy Alloys Coatings
High entropy alloys (HEA) are composed of five or more alloying elements in a nearly equi-atomic ratio. HEAs exhibit high oxidation and corrosion resistance behaviour. In this work, HEA coatings were electrodeposited over ... -
Architecting and Developing Sensors for Environmental Monitoring
Pollution arising from inorganic and organic contaminants is a major environmental hazard that needs imperative attention. Anthropogenic and natural deposition of heavy metal ions constitute a significant component of this ... -
Study of solvent induced polymorphism and crystal nucleation from solution
Crystal polymorphism is the existence of different crystal structures for the same compound. Different polymorphs will have different physical properties, such as solubility and dissolution rate. The early stage of ... -
Positivity preservers forbidden to operate on diagonal blocks
The question of which functions acting entrywise preserve positive semidefiniteness has a long history, beginning with the Schur product theorem [Crelle 1911], which implies that absolutely monotonic functions (i.e., ... -
Computational mechanisms underlying eye-head coordination
Gaze or eye-head coordination is an ethologically and physiologically important process that directs the visual system to objects of interest. Due to its relative simplicity, it is an ideal system to study multi-effector ... -
Quantum-Safe Identity-Based Signature Scheme in Multivariate Quadratic Setting
Cryptographic techniques are essential for the security of communication in modern society. Today, nearly all public key cryptographic schemes used in practice are based on the two problems of factoring large integers and ... -
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 ... -
Spectrotemporal Processing of Speech Signals Using the Riesz Transform
