Informing institutional design for an efficient and equitable electricity sector transition in India
The proposed research will investigate the dynamics of how insufficient cost recovery affects Indias electricity transition outcomes. It will also identify policy strategies that could address both cost recovery and electricity transition objectives in a cost-effective and equitable manner.
Prevalence of plastics and other chemical constituents in PM2.5 close to major pollution sources in Delhi-NCR
Ascertain the prevalence of key and emerging pollutants close to major air pollution sources in Delhi-NCR via IITD's mobile air pollution lab, along with pollutant transport modeling. Special emphasis on the concentration and characteristics of plastics in fine particular matter close to the sources
Security Analytics of Internet of Things (IoT)
A key feature of the booming IoT is the integration of a wide assortment of technologies, including various standards, proprietary communication protocols and heterogeneous platforms. This PhD thesis is aimed to propose theoretical and systematic solutions to the security of IoT integration.
Causes and Consequences of Hysterectomy: Trends in India and Australia
Hysterectomy, the surgical removal of the uterus, is the most frequently performed surgical procedure in women after caesarean delivery in most countries. This project will investigate the causes and consequences of hysterectomy in India and Australia using secondary data.
Biopolymer biodegradation and lifetimes
This project will explore the fundamentals of biodegradation for a range of biodegradable polymers, both bioderived and petroleum derived. It will study the effect of factors that contribute to their lifetimes in the environment e.g. surface chemistry, porosity, additives and sorbed contaminants.
Professor T. R. Sreekrishnan
Department of Biochemical Engineering and BiotechnologyBackfilling Mine and Tunnel Structures with Glass Waste Slurries
This project aims to develop a coupled experimentally and machine-learning validated theory to assess the applicability of crushed waste glass recycling (from macro to granular scale) 45for backfill grouting in underground mines and tunnels.
Computational Biomechanical Modelling and simulation of cellular migration in heterogeneous 3D environment
Our goal is to simulate single cell migration of tumor cells in heterogeneous 3D environments. This involves the simulation of continuum-mechanical models for the cytoplasm, the nucleus, the cortex as well as microtubules through methods based on machine learning and solid-fluid structure coupling.
Additive manufacturing of stainless steel based nanocomposites
Production of high strength high ductility materials with superior corrosion resistance has been a long challenge. Stainless steel based nanocomposites are promising, but hard to be made conventionally. This project aims to design and develop such composites with additive manufacture approach.
Exploring the interactions between ramping wind events (fronts and thunderstorms) and wind farms
Wind power ramp events often occur when a frontal system or lines of thunderstorms pass over a wind farm. This project will explore the flow physics associated these meteorological phenomena and their interaction wind farms through meso/micro-scale simulations and comparison with wind farm data.
Understanding the mechanisms of general disease suppressiveness in organic fields
To ensure sustainability in agriculture, the project aims to first identify the key microbial and metabolic markers and soil practices responsible for disease suppressive soil in organic fields, and subsequently develop tools to transform soils from being disease conducive to disease suppressive.
