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 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 ...
In this thesis, we introduce the notion of a strong generalized holomorphic (SGH) fiber bundle and develop connection and curvature theory for an SGH principal G-bundle over a regular generalized complex (GC) manifold, ...
Since Sir Andre Geim and Sir Kostya Novoselov successfully isolated graphene in Manchester in 2004, numerous layered two-dimensional (2D) materials have been uncovered. Among these, transition metal dichalcogenides (TMDs) ...
Mixed Rossby-gravity (MRG) waves are tropical synoptic-scale disturbances which exhibit mixed properties of low frequency Rossby waves and high frequency gravity waves. A comprehensive understanding on the major factors ...
Heparan sulfate (HS) is a negatively charged polysaccharide, widely present on the surface of all mammalian cells and in the extracellular matrix. Depending on the sulfation patterns and uronic acid compositions, the HS ...
Information gathered by sensory organs is processed in the specialized pre-cortical and cortical areas, ultimately leading to animals’ behavioural responses. For rodents, olfaction (sense of smell) has been proven to be a ...
Pāṇini's Aṣṭādhyāyī is a rule book that employs many techniques to derive the Sanskrit language. One such technique is the principle of suspension (asiddhatva). This principle is predominantly used in the last three quarters ...
Macrocyclic compounds are large-sized cyclic structures constituted by more than 12 atoms and are found as important scaffolds in medicine, materials, sensors, and catalysis applications. Macrocycles are also important ...
