Multiscale Modeling of Ultrafast THz-Induced Spin Dynamics
This project aims to achieve THz-induced magnetization switching in magnetic multilayers
-
Non-destructive evaluation of advanced materials’ thermo-mechanical behaviour
This project aims to prevent catastrophic failure as well as safe and economical management of the structures
-
Particle and powder flows during industrial processes
The conduct of this project would help to gain deeper physical and theoretical insights into the granular processes involved with segregation, mixing, avalanching, shock surface and rheology etc., hence providing guidance to relevant application problems.
-
Power system estimation based on deep learning and system area mapping
The aim of this study is to develop a deep learning based power system state.
