Information Rates over Point-to-Point and Multi-user Wireless Channels with Energy and Delay Constraints
In this thesis, we consider communication systems having energy, delay and reliability constraints. We characterize optimal communication rates achievable over these systems. First we consider point-to-point communication ... -
A Context-Aware Neural Approach for Explainable Citation Link Prediction
Citations have become an integral part of scientific publications. They play a crucial role in supporting authors’ claims throughout a scientific paper. However, citing related work is a challenging and laborious task, ... -
PDMS-Based Nanocomposite for EMI Shielding application
Lightweight, flexible, and easy-to-integrate solutions are in great demand in electronic devices. The present work deals with the preparation of Poly dimethyl siloxane (PDMS) based nanocomposite for suppressing electromagnetic ... -
Probabilistic design and optimization of foundations on cohesionless soil using surrogate models
The design of foundations depends on the properties of soil, which are affected by various forms of uncertainties. These uncertainties affect the foundation performance and hence are considered in the deterministic design ... -
A Study of the X-ray Variability and Accretion Mechanism in High Mass X-ray Binary Pulsars
High-mass X-ray binaries are among the most luminous X-ray sources. They host an accreting compact object (more often a neutron star) and a massive (M > 10 M⊙) donor star. They are among the earliest discovered X-ray sources ... -
Device-Circuit Reliability Co-Design in High voltage and Power devices
For the last four decades, silicon CMOS technology has captured a significant share in IC, smart power IC, SoC, and the power device market. But there is aggressive research on other materials such as graphene & similar ... -
A Novel Passive Regenerative Snubber for the Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Converter: Analysis, Design and Experimental Verification
The development of Wide Bandgap (WBG) devices has enabled power electronic converters to operate at much higher frequencies, voltages and high power. Working at a higher switching frequency minimises the size of magnetics ... -
Dynamics of Quantum Supercooled Liquids: A Mode Coupling Approach
In this thesis, I use the quantum mode coupling theory (QMCT) formulation to study the dynamics in a supercooled liquid to understand how quantum fluctuations affect the liquid-glass transition. I calculate the Kubo-transformed ... -
Atomic-level Investigation and Proposals to Address Technological Roadblocks and Reliability Challenges in 2D Material Based Nanoelectronic Devices
The transistor scaling is witness to many extraordinary inventions during its consecutive miniaturization. The journey began from Dennard’s classical constant field scaling, crossing through the milestones like strain ... -
Scheduling Algorithms for Wireless Networks and Cloud Computing Platforms
This thesis focuses on designing scheduling algorithms for wireless communication networks, FMCW radar networks, and cloud computing platforms. In each case, the algorithms aim at efficient utilization of resources, e.g., ... -
Development and Studies of Open-Pore Metal Foam for Diverse Applications
This thesis presents a method for producing open-cell metal foams by vibration-assisted casting (VAC) and its studies for diverse engineering applications. Metal foams have a wide range of applications due to their several ... -
Generalizing Cross-domain Retrieval Algorithms
Cross-domain retrieval is an important research topic due to its wide range of applications in e-commerce, forensics etc. It addresses the data retrieval problem from a search set, when the query belongs to one domain, and ... -
Sustainable Urban Mobility: Urban Public Transport Systems Sustainability Assessment
Urban public transport systems have become an inevitable choice to promote sustainable urban mobility in almost every city in the world. In India, buses are the most popular and convenient mode of transport in urban cities. ... -
Achieving practical secure non-volatile memory system with in-Memory Integrity Verification (iMIV)
Recent commercialization of Non-Volatile Memory (NVM) technology in the form of Intel Optane enables programmers to write recoverable programs. However, the data on NVM is susceptible to a plethora of data remanence attacks, ... -
Homeostasis of cyclic-di-AMP in Mycobacterium smegmatis: Functional and structural contributions of c-di-AMP synthase (MsDisA) and hydrolase (MsPDE)
In bacteria, cyclic-di-nucleotide based second messengers regulate various physiological processes including the stress response. For the past decades, cyclic diadenosine monophosphate (c-di-AMP) has emerged as a crucial ... -
Transcription termination in Mycobacteria
Transcription termination is one of the key events of gene expression that decides the boundary of the gene. Termination either before the stop codon or transcriptional read-through into the downstream gene both have ... -
Opportunistic Beamforming and Asymptotic Throughput Analysis of Hybrid Analog-Digital mmWave Multi-User MIMO Systems
In this thesis, we address the problem of large training/feedback overhead and the requirement of computationally intensive algorithms to determine the phase angles of the analog precoder for downlink data transmission ... -
