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.
Development of new polymers based on bioresources is essential to cater the ever-increasing demand in commodity plastics and also to meet the new demand for biocompatible and biodegradable nanocarriers for safe drug ...
Lysophosphatidylserine (lyso-PS) is an essential signaling lysophospholipid in mammals, and deregulation in its metabolism has been directly linked to an array of human autoimmune and
neurological disorders such as PHARC ...
The 2017 discovery of intrinsic 2D magnetism in CrI3 and Cr2Ge2Te6 demonstrated that magnetic order can persist in atomically thin layers, challenging the Hohenberg-Mermin-Wagner theorem. While most 2D magnets are van der ...
Atom interferometry, a technique that leverages the wave nature of atoms to create interference patterns, has emerged as a powerful tool for high-precision measurements. This method exploits the principles of quantum ...
Dynein is a crucial ATP-driven motor protein involved in processes like spindle assembly, vesicle transport, organelle positioning, and ciliary beating. This study explores dynein’s collective behavior in microtubule (MT) ...
We study several intrinsic properties of the Carathéodory and Szeg˝o metrics on finitely connected planar domains. Among them are the existence of closed geodesics and geodesic spirals, boundary behaviour of Gaussian ...
Metal halide perovskites, with their chemical formula ABX₃, have emerged as a game-changer in the field of optoelectronics. These versatile materials hold promise for various functional applications, from light-emitting ...
Short-wave infrared (SWIR) radiation (700 to 1700 nm) is important for applications in bio-imaging, security camera, food inspection, remote-sensing, and optical fiber communication. Epitaxially grown III-V semiconductors ...
The transition from a carbon-based to a hydrogen-based economy is inevitable, given the growing global energy crisis fuelled by rising energy demands due to rapid population and economic growth. However, the widespread ...
Heparan Sulfate (HS), a member of the glycosaminoglycan family, is composed of repeating units of α (1-4) linked D-glucosamine and uronic acid residues (L-iduronic acid and D-glucuronic acid) with diverse sulfation patterns. ...
Observations of cosmic microwave background (CMB) anisotropies have been instrumental in advancing modern cosmology. The availability of high-resolution CMB maps has significantly enhanced our understanding of the universe’s ...
In typical hybrid metal halide perovskites, including layered 2D A2PbX4 (A: organic cation, X: I, Br), the valance band maximum and conduction band minimum are composed of orbitals of the inorganic sublattice {PbX4}2-. ...
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 ...
