Ananth Kamath

SN Bose 2016 Scholar Ananth is studying polymer conformations in ionic liquids. The aim of the project is to find the dependence of polymer size on the molecular weight, when the polymer is dissolved in an ionic liquid. The polymers studied are PEO and NIPAM. The studies will be conducted using rheology and light scattering

Ashwini Gupta

2016 Khorana Scholar Ashwini is researching the modelling of the coupling between mechanics and electrochemistry for Li-ion batteries

Siva Sai Krishna Venigalla

2016 Khorana Scholars Siva Sai is researching nucleic acid delivery using nanoparticles- to deliver different mRNA , tRNA , sgRNA using lipid nanoparticles for gene editing purposes.

Manaswini Kar

2016 Khorana Scholars Manaswini is researching the effect of changing extracellular potassium ion concentration in action potential firing frequency of the crab somato-gastric nervous system.

Amir Faraz

2016 Khorana Scholars Amir is doing his research on a NASA Project that looks at the transformation of Cyanobacteria with alkane producing gene for the production of biofuel

Teena Bajaj

2016 Khorana Scholars

Sushmita Rajkhowa

2016 Khorana Scholars Sushmita is receiving hands-on training in advanced laboratory techniques in characterizing various components of plant-biotic stress interactions; genetic diversity analysis and bioinformatics.

Suriya Selvarajan

2016 Khorana Scholar Suriya is studying MR reconstruction using deep learning. Use of compressed sensing techniques allows MRI reconstruction from undersampled sparse K space data.To explore the use of specialised convolutional neural networks and autoencoders to learn optimal regulizers in reducing the motion artifacts and also reducing the computational time in compressed sensing based CEST(chemical energy

Sridevi Venkatesan

2016 Khorana Scholars Sridevi is studying homeostatic plasticity in cultured visual cortical neurons: The aim of the project will be to transfect cultured visual cortical neurons with a lentiviral construct expressing a mutant form of GRIP, a post synaptic protein and study the effect on homeostatic plasticity.

Soumya Singh

2016 Khorana Scholars Soumya’s lab is studying the “Life Cycle Assessment of Nanopackaging”
