Lesion Synthesis using Physics-Based Noise Models for Low-Data Medical Imaging Regime applications
Lesion segmentation and their progression prediction in medical imaging relies critically on the availability of manually annotated, heterogeneous large pathological datasets. Acquiring such diverse large datasets is also ... -
Elucidating the diverse functions of RGG-motif containing proteins
One year embargo upto 20/2/2026 RGG-motif containing proteins represent one of the major subsets of RNA-binding proteins characterized by the presence of RGG/RG repeats. These proteins have been associated with a wide ... -
Self-propulsion in Pitching Airfoils
Self-propelled oscillating foils are simple yet useful models that can be used to explore the physics of oscillatory bio-locomotion. In this investigation, we explore the self-propulsion characteristics of a rigid NACA0015 ... -
N-Heterocyclic Carbene-Catalyzed Enantioselective Synthesis of C-O Axially Chiral Diaryl Ethers, Tricyclic Lactones and Lactams
N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC)-catalyzed transformations with distinctive activation modes allow the facile synthesis of atropoisomers. In this context, we have demonstrated the NHC-catalyzed synthesis of axially chiral diaryl ... -
Engineering Quality Factor in Micro/Nano Resonating Devices
Micro/Nano resonating devices offer enormous potential and have distinctive features for building sensors and actuators. One of the key parameters that control the response of these devices is Quality Factor (Q). Q is ... -
Learning from Limited and Imperfect Data
Deep Neural Networks have demonstrated orders of magnitude improvement in capabilities over the years after AlexNet won the ImageNet challenge in 2012. One of the major reasons for this success is the availability of ... -
Interaction of the TCP4 protein with other transcription factors and its effect on Arabidopsis shoot apex
The TEOSINTE BRANCHED1, CYCLOIDEA, PROLIFERATING CELL FACTORs (TCP) class of proteins are plant-specific transcription factors with a non-canonical basic helix-loop-helix (bHLH) domain involved in both DNA-binding and ... -
An investigation of the sensitivity of climate feedbacks to the latitudinal distribution of radiative forcing using the radiative kernel approach
It is well known that climate sensitivity, defined as the global mean surface temperature change per unit radiative forcing, depends on the forcing agents (such as CO2, CH4, O3, aerosols, solar radiation, land cover change, ... -
Quantum and classical hardware development for superconducting qubits
The journey toward realizing practical quantum computing involves overcoming critical challenges in qubit architecture, robust gate performance, and scalable control systems. This thesis addresses these challenges through ... -
Role of HCN Currents (Ih) in Epileptiform Activity in Subicular Neurons
Subicular burst firing neurons are established as primary instigators of seizure onset and propagation in Temporal Lobe Epilepsy (TLE), a form of focal epilepsy that accounts for approximately 60% of all epilepsy cases in ... -
Mathematical and data-driven modelling of viral infections: Applications to HIV/AIDS and COVID-19
Remarkable advances are being made in developing interventions for eliciting longterm remission of HIV-1 infection. The success of these interventions will obviate the need for lifelong antiretroviral therapy, the current ... -
Monolayer MoS2 and plasmonic heterostructure for molecular sensor
In recent years, artificially engineered materials, known as meta structures, have demonstrated tuneable optoelectronic properties, making meta-coupled devices highly advantageous for a wide range of technological applications. ... -
Theta modulated dynamics in the hippocampus and its inputs during spatial navigation
The hippocampus is crucial for spatial navigation and has been hypothesized to integrate sensory information and mnemonic cues about items and experiences within a spatial context to create memories. Area CA1 is the ... -
Loop Transformations for Multi-/Many-Core Architectures using Machine Learning
Loop transformation techniques such as loop tiling, loop interchange and unroll-and-jam help expose better coarse-grain and fine-grain data-level parallelisms as well as exploit data locality. These transformations are ... -
Learning with Multi-domain and Multi-view Graph Data
In many applications, we observe large volumes of data supported on irregular (non-Euclidean) domains. In graph signal processing (GSP) and graph machine learning (GML), data is indexed using the nodes of a graph and ... -
Ultrasonic Guided Wave-based Inspection of Additively Manufactured Components
Layered structural components, such as laminated composites and those made via Additive Manufacturing (AM), are widely used in aerospace and automotive industries due to their various advantages. The layer-wise approach ... -
Contact Line Instabilities in Thin Film Flows on Curved Surfaces
Thin fluid film flows are ubiquitous in nature and many industrial applications. Such flows are characterized by having the thickness in one direction being much smaller than the characteristic length scales in the ... -
Sequential Transfer in Multi-Armed Bandits using Reward Samples
We consider a sequential multi-task problem, where each task is modeled as a stochastic multi-armed bandit with K arms. We study the problem of transfer learning in this setting and propose algorithms based on UCB to ... -
Characterizing the link between dynamics and function in proteins that violate the structure-function paradigm
The structure-function paradigm states that the three-dimensional structure of a protein is dictated by its amino acid sequence, which influences its function. However, this paradigm fails to explain the behaviour of ... -
Synthesis, Structure, and Properties of Compounds Derived from Mineral Structures
The development of solid-state chemistry is the result of many studies on compounds belonging to structures such as perovskite, pyrochlore, spinel etc. There is a large family of compounds that belong to naturally occurring ...
