Synthesis and Modulation-Doping of VO2 (001) Epitaxial Thin Film Heterostructures
Correlated electron materials (CEMs) host a rich variety of condensed matter phases. Vanadium dioxide (VO2) is a prototypical CEM that undergoes a temperature-driven metal-to-insulator transition (MIT) at ~340 K accompanied ... -
Tailoring of fields and development of multipole expansion in planar ion trap geometries
In this research work two studies have been taken up: (1) to provide a systematic method to linearize and tailor fields in planar ion trap geometries. The proposed method is general and is demonstrated on two trap ... -
Ultrastrong coupling in a cavity-electromechanical device
Cavity optomechanics is a field that explores the interaction between light and motion of matter via radiation pressure force. Such systems mainly consist of an optical/microwave cavity coupled to a mechanical resonator. ... -
Studying the role of small GTPase Rab14 in the regulation of endosomal function
The endomembrane system and their associated membrane trafficking are fundamental features of eukaryotic cell biology. These processes are regulated by small GTP-binding proteins that acts as molecular switches to ... -
Insights into evaporation, atomization and precipitate formation of polymer droplets
Evaporation of polymer droplets is an active area of interest due to its applications in systems such as ink jet printing, thin films, spray combustors to name a few. Thus, understanding complex dynamics of evaporating ... -
Expanding the Possibilities of Multifunctional Gelatin Methacrylol Bioinks for 3D Bioprinting of Complex Biomimetic Tissue Constructs
Tissue engineering, or the construction of complex tissue-like structures for injured tissue replacement and regeneration, has been a subject of investigation over the last thirty years. In the last decade, there has been ... -

With the increasing integration of robots into various domains and their coexistence with humans, ensuring human safety has become a critical concern. This thesis highlights the challenges associated with human safety in ... -
High Dimensional Quantum Information Technology Using Photonics: Protocol Development and Implementation Schemes
This thesis explores the realm of high-dimensional quantum information processing through the lens of photonics, focusing on developing and implementing quantum technologies based on d-level quantum systems known as qudits. ... -
Establishment of a knock-in mouse model expressing a hypomorphic variant of receptor guanylyl cyclase C
Receptor guanylyl cyclase C (GC-C, gene GUCY2C) is expressed on the apical surface of the intestinal epithelial cells and gets activated by the endogenous ligands guanylin and uroguanylin. Heat-stable enterotoxin (ST) ... -
Effect of Processing Mg-6zn-0.2ce Through High-pressure Torsion on Its Use as a Biomaterial
Here, we investigate the effect of high-pressure torsion (HPT), a severe plastic deformation process, on the mechanical properties, corrosion, and cytotoxicity of Mg-6Zn-0.2Ce alloy, a candidate material for bioresorbable ... -
