Our projects

Civil engineering infrastructure facilities experience large-scale damage due to the movement of foundations resting on problematic soils. Documented evidence shows that the existing problems associated with expansive clay is world-wide, having occurred in countries such as, Africa, Australia, India...

For drug resistant Epilepsy, surgical resection of epileptogenic tissue is the most effective treatment for improving the quality of life of the patient. For pre-surgical planning, localization of normal healthy functional areas in the vicinity of epileptogenic tissue is one of the key components de...

The naturalistic audio-visual paradigms such as those used in Neurocinematics (Hasson et al., 2004; Hasson et al., 2008), along with newer Machine Learning and Statistical Data Analysis techniques are promising for accurate localization of function in epileptic patients..

After a long hiatus, systolic and semi systolic architectures on FPGA-based platforms have suddenly come back into prominence. The main reason is that almost all learning based algorithms use such architectures. The aim of this project is to design fast online learning algorithms for processing data...

This project will investigate the regulation of digital platforms in India and Australia and in particular the challenges and opportunities related to the Equalisation Levy, an attempt to levy a Google Tax.

This project will specifically explore the relationship between social movements and their uses of/relationships with media/information/technologies in India. Dealing with both independence and post-independence social movements in India, it will provide doctoral candidates the opportunities to expl...

While the contribution of social purpose organizations to the economy and societal well-being is well-documented, they operate in an increasingly competitive operating environment, which forces them to be entrepreneurial and innovative in all their strategic initiatives (Weerawardena & Sullivan Mort...

Large number of possible formulation ingredients and non-monotonic dependence of blend properties on their weight fraction makes development of polymer blend nanocomposites particularly challenging. Prior work has established that nanoscale is the key length-scale associated with several properties ...

Unlike metals, brittle materials like concrete and rocks undergo fracture without significant plastic deformation prior to failure. Tensile fracturing of concrete can therefore be abrupt and violent, leading to shattering without any pre-warning. Such spontaneous fractures in the field are commonly ...

Water splitting technology provides an effective way to produce hydrogen in a green and sustainable manner with high efficiency and minimal environment pollution. Water electrolysis generates hydrogen and oxygen from water by the hydrogen evolution reaction (HER) and the oxygen evolution reaction (O...
