We rely on various natural and synthetic solid materials in our daily lives. In recent years, the focus has increasingly shifted toward developing smart materials—those that can dynamically respond to external stimuli by altering their physical properties. These materials are gaining prominence across diverse fields such as energy conversion, energy harvesting, biomedical applications, and spintronics. Within this context, certain material families like oxides, two-dimensional (2D) layered co...

This thesis focuses on pairwise and higher-order modeling of coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators, with an emphasis on the suppression of oscillations and its application to a neuropathological condition known as Postictal Generalized EEG Suppression (PGES). To investigate the suppression of oscillations in various nonlinear model systems, coupled Stuart-Landau oscillators prove to be particularly suitable for understanding the origin and implications of such behavior. Quenching of oscillat...

Gender as a socially constructed identity is significant in shaping experiences and regulating socio-political dynamics in all social institutions, such as family, religion, economy, politics, and education. Precisely speaking, how gender operates in society is totally different from how it does on higher educational institutions. Gender stereotypes and inequality in society are direct, familiar, and known social expressions/manifestations. But the idea of gender and associated stereotypes on...
