Our projects

This project uses Nanopore sequencing to map micro-exon splicing events at a single cell level in human induced pluripotent stem cell derived brain organoids to gain insight into how abnormal micro-exon splicing leads to neurodevelopmental defects that cause epilepsy.

The project aims to develop new class of light-emitting devices operating at very high current densities.

Novel materials and systems are being introduced into the built environment at an increasing rate. These often result in unforeseen consequences in the event of accidents, impacting on resilience of buildings. This project identifies the contribution of novel materials to building resilience.

The resource-constrained nature of internet-of-things (IoT) make them vulnerable against artificial intelligence (AI)-assisted cyber-attacks. In this project, we will develop an adversarial AI-driven framework for designing and evaluating an intrusion detection system that can detect such attacks.

This project will analyse the resilience of communities vulnerable to fire hazards. With a specific focus on studying the resilience of communities with different vulnerability profiles, the aim of the project will help to inform policy and resource allocation to improve fire safety outcomes.

Highest resolution of biological information is currently obtained using single-cell (scRNA-seq) and spatial RNA-sequencing experiments (ST-seq). We will develop computational tools using scRNA-seq and ST-seq data to discover novel non-coding RNA and delineate their putative role in oncogenesis.

This project aims to develop an experimentally and numerically validated theory to establish a fundamental understanding of key processes controlling the thermo-mechanical coupling behaviour of asphalt mixes with crushed waste glass aggregates.

The project aims to apply new materials design theory and advanced synthetic approaches to create new materials classes for next-generation see-through electronics with exciting applications like augmented reality, car windscreen display and head mounted goggles for biomedical/surgical applications.

In this project, the student will investigate the electronic behavior of quantum materials. We are interested in understanding the electronic correlations leading to observation of quantum phases such as topological insulators, Weyl semimetals, and intrinsic magnetism in materials such as WTe2 and N...

In the era of rapid technological development, increasing energy demand have led us to pursue alternative energy storage systems that must fulfil rigorous requirements like cost-effectiveness and high storage capacities. To minimize our reliance on Li based battery technologies, sodium-based batteri...
