Theses submitted to IISER Pune in partial fulfilment of the requirements of the BS-MS dual degree and Ph.D programmes. Also, project reports submitted by the students.
The escalating demand for energy has underscored the need for efficient and affordable charge storage devices. Zinc–air batteries (ZABs) have garnered significant attention due to their high energy density, cost-effectiveness, ...
The serine hydrolase (SH) superfamily is one of the largest functional enzyme classes across all life forms and consists of proteases, peptidases, lipases, and carboxylesterases. Since very little is known about the SH ...
Colloidal semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) have attracted substantial interest in the direction of modern energy research owing to their unique size- and shape-dependent optoelectronic properties. This includes sensors, ...
The thermal energy (heat) dissipated during light-matter interactions is considered as a ‘loss’ in energy science. However, this process of heat dissipation is inevitable in all light-matter interactions. Recently, attention ...
BRCA1 also known as breast cancer susceptbility gene 1, this gene is known for its functon as a tumor suppressor (Hall et al., 1990), the mutaton in this gene has been associated with both sporadic and familial breast and ...
In this thesis we discuss how to parameterize certain two dimensional knots in four space using simple polynomial functions. More specifically we have taken up 2 dimensional sphere S^2 and the torus T^2 embedded inside S^4 ...
In recent times, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) devices are becoming very popular, especially among clinicians and patients suffering from diabetes (both T1D and, T2D). They help in management of patients BG levels, ...
The Heston Model is a stochastic volatility model heavily used in finance due to its applicability,
simplicity and closed-form European call option. Calibrating the Heston Model involves estimating its parameters to match ...
Implementing the Floquet operator in a cold atoms system is a fascinating field of research. This implication opens the path for the study of dynamical localization in the quantum kicked rotor system. The quantum kicked ...
Precise inference of gene interaction networks is crucial for understanding complex biological processes and disease mechanisms. Traditional methods often rely on curated databases, which may overlook important but undis ...
mRNA vaccines represent a transformative advancement in immunology, largely due to their ability to stimulate robust immunity via lipid nanoparticle (LNP) delivery. A unique aspect of their effectiveness involves the ...
Supersymmetric field theories can be studied via an alternate approach using purely bosonic variables. In this method, a transformation (Nicolai map) of the bosonic fields exists for supersymmetric gauge theories such ...
Lava tubes are common in pāhoehoe lavas and are important in understanding the emplacement of large volumes of lava, and their transportation over long distances in Continental Flood Basalt provinces of the world. The ...
The aim of this project is to use the spectral clustering algorithm to detect important geological and climate features by utilizing the properties of the graph Laplacian. Spectral clustering uses similarity measures ...
This work investigates the implementation of a secure Quantum Key Distribution (QKD) protocol, BB84, within an Optical Data Center Network (ODCN), focusing on key negotiation under varying noise levels and adversarial ...
Drug delivery via nano-carriers enabled the translation of promising therapeutics into successful therapies. Nanotechnology evolved over the years and led to the development of various nano- delivery scaffolds. Much research ...
Lead halide perovskites such as CsPbBr3 in the form of colloidal nanocrystals possess amenable electronic and optical properties that find a wide variety of applications in optoelectronics and catalysis. However, the ...
In this thesis we explore different methods of calculating the viscosity using molecular dynamics simulations. We initially investigated three methods, namely Green Kubo relation, Helfand moment method and the shear ...
Inverse modelling is an ill-posed problem, and the regularisation technique is used to solve the inverse problem by biasing the solution with prior information. In the absence of prior information about the model, a ...
Porphyrin and isophlorin are structural congeners of 18π and 20π annulenes are redox structural isomers through PCET. On the other hand, non-pyrrolic porphyrinoids usually tend to undergo reversible two-electron ring ...
