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.
Let GL(N) be the algebraic group over a number field F. We are interested in a subspace (known as cuspidal cohomology) of the sheaf cohomology of locally symmetric ad`elic space in the coefficient system of a finite-dimensional ...
The first part of the thesis is on right splitting, Galois correspondence, Galois representations and Inverse Galois problem. The famous ‘Inverse Galois problem’ IGP asks whether every finite group appears as the Galois ...
Optical lattice clocks, leveraging their remarkable precision, have the capability to measure time with unprecedented accuracy. This precision opens up possibilities for the utilization of lattice clocks in various domains, ...
This thesis investigates the synthesis, characterization, and redox properties of "Tetra S-Confused Porphyrinoids" and "Porphyrinoids with Thiophenes and Phenanthroline." The research explores both confused and expanded ...
Morphogenesis in multicellular organisms relies on mechanical forces, cell geometry, and biochemical cues such as hormones, and these elements must act in concert. Using *Arabidopsis thaliana* as a model, I investigated ...
Lead halide perovskites (APbX3, A: monovalent cation, X: Cl, Br, I) have been widely explored
since last fifteen years due to their extraordinary optoelectronic properties. If the connectivity
between metal-halide ...
Oligosaccharides and glycoconjugates displayed on the cell wall of various living organisms and pathogens have a profound contribution to various cellular events such as host-guest interactions, cell signaling pathways, ...
The central motivation of this thesis is to explore the possibility of achieving broadband emission tunability along with investigating several triplet harvesting pathways and non-linear photon up-conversion properties in ...
Laser cooling is a matter of paramount significance, particularly when dealing with atoms from the alkaline earth metal group. These atoms offer ultra-narrow optical transitions, which can be utilized for quantum information ...
Interacting proteins usually bind 5-6 base pairs of DNA. We looked at distributions of 5/6-mer DNA motifs in whole chromosomes and smaller sections across the whole genome to get insights into how proteins read genomic ...
Present day life is unthinkable without catalysis which has come forth as an indispensable technology toward the fundamental requisites of life. With thriving economy and an upsurge in global population together with ...
The thesis explores the complex interactions and phase behavior of colloidal particles in active liquids, focusing particularly on systems where large, non-Brownian colloids are dispersed in suspensions of Escherichia coli. ...
Gut microbes are increasingly implicated in modulating host biology. The ability of the microbiome to contribute to diverse host phenotypes and, in turn, alter host fitness, raises the possibility that the presence of such ...
Bismuth oxyselenide (Bi2O2Se) has garnered significant attention as a promising two-dimensional material for next-generation electronic and optoelectronic devices due to its remarkably high mobility, moderate bandgap, ...
This thesis explores the magnetic and dielectric properties of B-site substituted perovskite systems, specifically double-, triple-, and quadruple-perovskites, with an emphasis on ruthenium-based compounds. Perovskite ...
Plasmodium falciparum-induced malaria remains a fatal disease affecting millions of people worldwide. Mainly, the blood stage of malaria is highly pathogenic and symptomatic, rapidly damaging the host organs and occasionally ...
Extensive plasma membrane remodelling is a hallmark of epithelial cells during their division. The syncytial stage of early Drosophila embryogenesis is an excellent model for studying mechanisms involved in epithelial-like ...
The development of next-generation rechargeable batteries is crucial to address the limitations
of current commercial options, such as low energy density, safety concerns, and inadequate performance for energy storage ...
Small molecule metabolites play a key role in normal cellular functioning as cellular processes are most often regulated by their interactions with proteins. Enzyme-substrate, receptor-ligand, solute-carrier interactions ...
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, ...
