Hardware-based Device Identification for Systems with Commercially Off-the-shelf Components
The Identity of an electronic device is a fundamental property, that bootstraps several applications such as authentication and traceability. For the purpose of device identification, conventional methods generate a unique ... -
Multi-Axis Motion Measurement Systems Based on Optical Beam Deflection
Multi-axis motion measurement is indispensable for precision motion control, and characterization of dynamic response of mechanical structures. This work describes the development and applications of a 5-axis high bandwidth ... -
Tailoring excitonic complexes in layered materials
Layered transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDCs) host a variety of strongly bound exciton complexes that control the optical properties in these materials. Apart from spin and valley, layer index provides an additional ... -
Medium Index Contrast Guided Mode Resonant Structures for Photonic Applications in the Visible-Near Infrared Wavelength Regime
Guided mode resonant (GMR) structures are interesting from the point of view of enhanced light-matter interaction and find applications in sensing, filtering, and miniaturized photonic components. The Guided mode resonance ... -
Reinforcement Learning in Large and Structured Environments
In a reinforcement learning (RL) problem, a learner takes actions to control the state of an initially unknown environment so as to maximize the sum of the rewards he obtains. This has several applications in many practical ... -
Characterization of the transsulfuration enzyme Cystathionine beta-synthase as a novel regulatory node in the sulfur metabolism of Mycobacterium tuberculosis
Methionine and cysteine metabolisms are important for the survival and pathogenesis of Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb). The transsulfuration pathway converts methionine to cysteine and represents an important link between ... -

Deformation characteristics of soil under sequential dynamic torsional and cyclic axial loading
Earthquake-induced structural damages caused due to site effects, soil liquefaction failure, and associated excessive settlement are well-known worldwide. The primary controlling factor responsible for the superstructure’s ... -
OTFS Modulation in MIMO Visible Light Communication Systems
Visible light communication (VLC) technology is emerging as an attractive technology for wireless communication in indoor and vehicular environments. In VLS systems, light emitting diodes (LED) and photo diodes (PD) ... -
Microwave-Assisted Growth of Laccase Mimetic Copper Oxide Nanozyme for Biosensing Applications
Natural enzymes are highly efficient macromolecular biocatalysts that can selectively catalyze biological reactions with high activity and substrate specificity under optimum conditions. However, natural enzymes suffer ... -
Platform Technologies for In vitro Point-of- Care Diagnostics
In vitro diagnostic (IVD) tests are critical for making informed clinical decisions. These tests are performed outside the body using specimens such as blood, sputum, saliva, and urine. IVD tests are usually performed ... -
A cavity electromechanical device for superconducting vortex charge sensing
The penetration of magnetic fields in the form of quantized vortices in type-II superconductors is well known. However, it is not well known that such vortices can be electrically charged. The effect is quite subtle and ... -
Role of spin density and interchromophoric coupling in singlet fission
Singlet exciton fission (SEF) is the transformation of a photoexcited singlet exciton into two triplets localized on two chromophores coupled together. This process therefore produces two triplet excitons at the expense ... -
Deep Learning Methods For Audio EEG Analysis
The perception of speech and audio is one of the defining features of humans. Much of the brain’s underlying processes as we listen to acoustic signals are unknown, and significant research efforts are needed to unravel ... -
Role of calcium sensors in differential alignment of synaptic nanomachinery during neurotransmission
Some of the brain's most remarkable feats such as learning and memory, are thought to emerge from elementary properties of chemical synapses. The distinctive feature of these synapses is that the action potential in the ... -
Development of novel bionanocomposites for musculoskeletal reconstruction applications
