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.
Low-dimensional materials provide a versatile platform for engineering light--matter interactions by enabling precise control over electronic, vibrational, and symmetry-driven effects. Among these systems, transition metal ...
Let Ab, CRings, Rings respectively denote the category of abelian groups, unital commutative rings and unital associative rings. For a prime p, we have the classical construction of a p-typical Witt vector functor W : ...
All life-forms in the world exhibit growth and respond to stimuli, where this response plays an extrinsic role in shaping organismal longevity beyond the default genetic blueprint. Both plants and animals are higher-order ...
The modern scattering amplitudes program has revolutionized our understanding of quantum field theory in Minkowski spacetime, leading to insights such as novel recursion relations, uncovering hidden symmetries like dual ...
Although antimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses a major biomedical challenge, early and often subtle adaptations that precede high-level resistance remain poorly understood. Current surveillance and diagnostic frameworks ...
Proper coordination of events during the cell cycle is crucial for differentiation, proliferation and dispersal in all cell types. For example, in certain free-living and pathogenic bacteria, the process of flagellar ...
Protein folding is a heterogeneous process in which multiple conformational sub-populations coexist within unfolded, intermediate, and native ensembles. However, the molecular determinants that give rise to this heterogeneity ...
Animals exhibit instinctive and learned stimulus-guided behaviours to adapt to dynamic environments. These innate and learned behaviours engage different cortical brain regions; however, how the sensory processing area ...
Modern deep learning weather prediction models excel in prediction speed as well as accuracy. Among these Spherical Fourier Neural Operators have emerged as a promising architecture that implicitly model underlying atmospheric ...
Emotional responses such as fear and anxiety are regulated by intricate neural circuits that are modulated by various neuromodulators, including dopamine. Dopamine signaling in brain regions such as the basolateral amygdala ...
The Rampur-Bushahr region in Himachal Pradesh hosts the Rampur Tectonic Window, where Lesser Himalayan metasediments are exposed within the Greater Himalayan Crystalline sequence. Although such windows are attributed to ...
Protein interactions are fundamental to life, and the capability to engineer such interactions has immense potential for therapeutics and synthetic biology. Established methods for screening protein binders, such as yeast ...
The actin fold is highly conserved in eukaryotes, whereas it is diverged in homologs with less than 15 per cent sequence identity and specialised for different functions in prokaryotes. Despite sharing the common actin ...
Honeybees (Apis mellifera) are known to possess magnetic sensitivity, yet the neural and biochemical mechanisms underlying magnetoreception remain poorly understood. The radical pair mechanism (RPM), a quantum-mechanical ...
Layered 2D semiconductors and magnets demonstrate novel excitonic physics. Their magnetic properties can be effectively studied at low fields using differential spectroscopy techniques such as Faraday effect and magneto-optic ...
Complex (dusty) plasmas serve as exceptional macroscopic analogues for studying the nonlinear dynamics of strongly coupled fluids and warm dense matter. While computational modelling provides deep insights into these ...
Understanding how environmental gradients shape morphological variation is a central question that links to ecology, evolution, and species responses to climate change. We investigated the relationship between climate and ...
Predicting the tertiary structure of the peptides with non-canonical amino acids (NCAAs) remains a big hurdle in computational biology, despite it being a rapidly growing class of therapeutics. Existing methods for peptide ...
This study examines the patterns of Multidimensional Poverty reduction in Indian districts between NFHS 4 and NFHS 5 and explores the factors associated with these changes District level figures of Multidimensional Poverty ...
Alcoholic Steatohepatitis (ASH) is gradually advancing alcoholic liver disease (ALD) with hepatosteatosis, inflammation, and fibrosis. However, the molecular mechanism of ASH is incompletely understood. The orphan nuclear ...
