PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 computer science & engg. INTRODUCTION IIT Delhi has been active in Computer Science education and research since the early 1970s. The Department of Computer Science and Engineering was established in 1982. It currently has 31 full-time faculty members, all with PhDs from leading institutions and recognised in their fields of expertise, with a plan to grow to around 40 in the coming two years. Apart from full time faculty members, the Department currently has several distinguished honorary and emeritus professors, adjunct faculty from leading research laboratories and international universities, and several visiting faculty members, all of whom participate in teaching and research activities.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMMEs The CSE department currently offers B.Tech., 5-year Integrated Dual Degree, M.Tech., M.S. (Research) and Ph.D. programmes in Computer Science and Engineering. It offers a minor area programme for non-majors, as well as 6 specialisations each for B. Tech and M. Tech students. In addition, the department participates in interdisciplinary M.Tech. programmes in VLSI Design, Tools & Technology, the Ph.D. and M.S. (Research) programmes of the Khosla School of Information Technology, the Bharti School of Telecommunication M.Tech. programmes, and will participate in interdisciplinary programmes in Cyber-security. The curricula are in line with current international trends, and are also used as model curricula by other Indian universities and colleges. The current student strength in the department is about 700 (370 in Undergraduate, 165 in dual degree, 115 in Masters and 50 in Doctoral programmes). Admission to the programmes is highly competitive - for the undergraduate and dual-degree programmes, there is a nation-wide Joint Entrance Examination (JEE) Advanced where approximately the top 1,50,000 students (Senior Secondary School) who cleared JEE Main appear annually and candidates only from the top 300 are offered admission to the CS programmes. At the Masters/Ph.D. level, only students with a score of 99 percentile or better in the nation-wide GATE exam are offered admission. A significant number of employed computer professionals are also enrolled in our postgraduate programmes as sponsored candidates. The curricula are comprehensive in their coverage of various aspects of computer science including algorithms and computational theory, architecture and systems software, networks, reliability and security, graphics, vision and computing applications, especially those involving AI and machine learning. The emphasis is on design, methodology, analysis and good software practices. As part of the degree requirements, undergraduate, dual- degree and Masters students are expected to complete a two-semester project which may involve developing a subsystem that typically contributes to fulfilling the objectives of a research project.

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 physics using “state-of-the-art density functional theory (DFT) and beyond methods” to the theoretical modelling transport and other properties of various condensed matter systems. Using DFT we probe the fundamental physics and related technological applications for atomic and many-atomic complex systems. Some properties of our interest include electronic and band structure, electric and magnetic properties, phonons, magnons and electromagnons in complex (anti)ferroic oxides bulk and nanostructures. We also use ab initio calculation to explore the viability and rational design of real-world functionalized CNT metastable photoswitches and single-photon emitters (SPEs). We also theoretically model transport in quantum Hall systems, graphene, and topological insulators. Quantum simulation of exotic condensed matter phases with ultra-cold atoms is another area of expertise. • Statistical and Computational Physics: Statistical Physics is devoted to understanding macroscopic assemblies of identical particles. Such systems appear over a wide range of length scales in many different fields. We study diverse systems of contemporary interest, ranging from classical solids, exotic liquids, soft materials, mesoscopic systems and active matter to name a few. Broadly, our research encompasses the following themes: (i) emergent phenomena in complex spin systems with disorder and long-ranged interactions; (ii) non-equilibrium properties of complex fluids such as liquid crystals, ferronematics and patchy colloids; (iii) miniature heat engines, and particle and heat transport in mesoscopic systems; (iv) motility of micro-organisms on surfaces and micro-swimmers in Newtonian and non-Newtonian fluids; (v) pattern formation in granular materials; and (vi) mechanics of extremely flexible structures such as thin films. We use a variety of analytical techniques from equilibrium and non-equilibrium statistical physics, computational techniques such as Monte Carlo, parallel tempering, molecular dynamics and graph cuts along with experiments involving state-of-art imaging techniques and sensitive mechanical characterization. • High Energy Physics: High energy physics encompasses both the very small and the very large distance scales — of elementary particles (femtometer scale) and of the observed universe (cosmology)! It is well described by the standard model, which brings together three fundamental interactions — electromagnetic, weak and strong. Collider physics is a tool which combines both perturbative and non perturbative aspects of these interactions. We study particle production in collider interactions in an attempt to understand both. In particular, strong interaction, described by quantum chromodynamics, is per se notoriously difficult. We employ effective field theoretical techniques to understand its non perturbative aspects — to study low energy properties of hadrons and quark gluon plasma. We also use them to study particle production in gravitational fields, and also some aspects of quantum gravity. Standard model, though stupendously successful, is still incomplete which makes HEP even more exciting. There are several theoretical problems; even more, there are experimental hints for rich physics beyond the standard model. We study this in the context of topics such as neutrino physics and dark matter.

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 physics The atoms are cooled to million times colder than room temperature using precisely frequency tuned lasers. The inherent quantum nature of atoms and photons allows one to design versatile quantum systems and fully control their properties by simple and clever approaches. These technological and conceptual developments will lead us to build large scale quantum information processing network, quantum computation protocols for solving industry and society relevant problems, quantum sensing devices and quantum metrology modules for precision instrumentations and measurements. Using quantum photonics quantum information and secure communication, quantum computing, quantum key distribution in free-space and in optical fibres, entanglement generation and distribution, continuously variable quantum optics, squeezing and quantum state tomography, hybrid variable quantum optics, light-matter interaction are also the focus of studies by many members of our Faculty. Some other group of researchers are putting their efforts in the direction of studying Topological semi-metals, a quantum phase of matter that host Dirac and Weyl fermions. They study the transport properties of these exotic materials under very low temperature, high magnetic field and high pressures and realise the exotic quantum features in the laboratory scale. • Plasma Physics: Plasmas are known to be the fourth state of matter. These contain large number of positive ions and electrons in almost equal number along with some neutral particles. Negative ions can also occur in plasmas and also there can be dust particles, referring to them as multi-component / dusty plasmas where the charge neutrality holds good. However, the dynamics of plasma greatly alters due to the presence of such additional charges. Each plasma species can contribute to different application of plasma. For example, electrons are responsible for high frequency phenomena including EM radiation generation, whereas the ions contribute to the synthesis of materials, surface hardening, sputtering, deice fabrication etc. We are primarily working in the broad research areas of intense laser-plasma interaction, plasma-material interaction, plasma propulsion, plasma based radiation sources, and dusty plasmas. Areas of particular research interest include particle acceleration, fast ignition, relativistic electron beam propagation, magnetic field generation, X-ray laser excited nanoplasmas, terahertz (THz) radiation, solitons, Hall thrusters, density modulation by microwaves, surface nitriding, visco-elastic effects in dusty plasmas, and turbulence in laboratory and astrophysical plasmas. We employ theoretical approach including nonlinear physics as well as numerical methods, namely, hydrodynamics, molecular dynamics and particle-in-cell (PIC) techniques to investigate some of the above areas and also perform experiments. Special focus will be articulated on THz for medical and spectroscopic applications, solitons for communication and diagnosis, plasma technology for device fabrication, plasma medicine, propulsion technology, and plasmas for nanotechnology in view of the upcoming M.Tech. Program in Plasma Science and Technology.

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 atmospheric sciences INTRODUCTION The Centre for Atmospheric Sciences (CAS) was set up in the year 1979 with the objective of undertaking modelling studies of atmospheric and oceanic processes for a better prediction of monsoon and its variability. Subsequently, the Ministry of Education, Government of India funded the Centre under the Sixth Five Year Plan, The Centre was also co-sponsored by the India Meteorological Department with a view to initiate research and mathematical modelling in meteorology in an academic institute, In 1981, the Planning Commission upgraded CAS to an advanced Centre for research, In order to complement its research activities, the Centre started the Ph.D. programme in atmospheric sciences which was the first of its kind in the country, In 2008, CAS started the M.Tech. programme in “Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences & Technology” with the support of Ministry of Earth Sciences and Indian Space Research Organization, In the year 2011, the UG Minor Area Programme “Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences” was initiated, which is the only one of its kind in the country. Currently, the Centre has faculty strength of 13. In the last five years, 30 Ph.D. and 50 M.Tech. degrees have been awarded by the Centre. Based on the number of research publications, degrees awarded, courses offered and student/faculty strength criteria, we estimate that CAS is ranked nationally among the top two Centres/Departments in the field. According to the 2011 US National Academy of Sciences benchmarking criteria, we also compare favorably with all US Centres/Departments in our discipline.

ACADEMIC PROGRAMMES Currently CAS has three vibrant teaching programmes, namely: • B.Tech. Minor Area in Atmospheric Sciences • M.Tech. in Atmospheric-Oceanic Science & Technology • Ph.D. UNDERGRADUATE The Centre has initiated Minor Area Programme in Atmospheric Sciences since 2011-12. In this minor area programme, there are six courses exclusively designed for UG students, which deal with fundamentals of weather, climate, climate change, oceanography, monsoon, earths physical processes climate modeling. UG Students need to take at least 2 courses from this pool for minor area. The students also have options for 26 electives where they have a wide range of choice from various applied courses covering all important topics in atmospheric and oceanic sciences, In order to complete the Minor Area Programme in Atmospheric Sciences, students need to earn 20 credits from among these courses. A minor area project of 5 credits is also introduced as part of the minor area programme to facilitate completion of 20 credits. POSTGRADUATE i) The M.Tech.

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 energy studies of alternative fuels are being studied for screening of sustainable fuels for internal combustion engines. The hybrid technologies including IC Engines with Electric System, IC Engines with Fuel cells and IC Engines with renewable energy system are being studied. A strong research linkage with oil & gas industries and automotive engine manufacturers is fostered to develop the required technologies. The further research work is focused towards achieving sustainable energy and environment. • energy Conservation and Management: One of the main aims of buildings is to provide internal environment where one can have visual as well as thermal comfort. This is partly provided by an energy efficient building design and/or by providing energy efficient end use devices. By using sophisticated computer modelling, the building group in the Centre assists the architects to arrive at an optimum design to achieve better day lighting and minimize the air conditioning load. Additionally, the group can also undertake the design and fabrication of building automation systems to reduce energy related operating costs. Thermal Energy Storage Studies pertaining to adequate façade to contrive a comfortable indoor environment with reduced active HVAC power requirements are carried out at Centre for Energy Studies. This basically aims at designing thermally conducive environment for hot climatic conditions through deployment of phase change materials (PCMs) in building envelopes that can store the excess incoming heat through the envelope as latent heat (at constant temperature) and later release the stored heat to the colder ambient at night. In cold regions, PCMs packed under building floor can maintain a comfortable floor temperature for a long time by gradually releasing latent heat while undergoing phase change. Besides this medium temperature range thermal energy storage system designs for perennial supply of thermal energy, required for non-conventional refrigeration and cooling system are also studied. Recently Centre for Energy Studies started exploring ultra-high temperature thermal energy storage systems to store electrical spillage as ordained by the concept of thermal batteries. The research activities, related to battery storage, that will be undertaken at CES will specifically focus on enhancing the energy storage capabilities of the electrochemical energy storage devices, such as lithium ion batteries, sodium-sulfur or lithium-sulfur batteries, and advanced batteries by employing nanoscale materials. These energy storage technologies would be used in combination with renewable energy sources (e.g., solar PV), and also to power electric vehicles, thus cutting down overall greenhouse gas emission and, thereby reducing global warming. The energy storage technologies that I am developing will be one of the vital components for the future of a “clean energy landscape”. Besides electrochemical energy storage devices, flexible and stretchable chemically and electrochemically active devices will also be developed to sense and monitor environmental degradation. • fuel Technology: The major challenge in effective utilization of Indian coals has all along been its high mineral content. In this context, initiatives have been taken at the IIT Delhi resulting in solubilization of the major part of the coal substance by extraction at the atmospheric pressure with combinations of polar organic solvents which are recycled. The extract is zero ash and can be treated as organic feedstock for further processing.

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 TELECOM TECHNOLOGY & MGMT. RESEARCH LABS • Research Scholar Lab: The research group focuses on performance analysis of wireless communication systems which is helpful in practical link design. Specifically, the work is on Cognitive radio, and Smart grid technologies, Visible Light Communication (VLC), Free Space Optical (FSO) communication over large Multi-Input-Multi-Output (MIMO) systems. These technologies play an important role in enabling 5G communication. Another area is, providing routing solutions and designing protocols for best path selection to enable wireless data transfer with high coding and diversity gain. In 5G wireless networks, energy saving is an important area of research, for increasing lifetime of the devices and networks. The activities are aimed at addressing various security issues arising due to a presence of energy harvesting nodes in the network. For indoor communication in future 5G networks, VLC and FSO technologies provide enhanced data rates, high energy efficiency at lower costs. Work on optimizing power allocation in FSO for different channel models by exploiting channel state information is also done in this lab. Underwater acoustic channels are generally recognized as one of the most difficult communication media in use today. Random fluctuations, large delay and Doppler spread, small bandwidth of the acoustic signal and frequency dependent absorption make this channel extremely complex. The advent of vector sensor recently has provided an opportunity to correct this bleak scenario to some extent. In our research, we emphasize on performance analysis of underwater acoustic communication system such as capacity, BER, outage probability and system design by using vector sensors. In this lab, we are also planning to work on underwater optical and hybrid (acoustic and optical) communication. Security is non-negotiable and reliability is vital when it comes to defense applications. We are also developing a scheme for identification of the channel coding type and estimation of channel coding parameters of an intercepted demodulated satellite signal in collaboration with DRDO. • Pervasive Telecom Lab: The pervasive telecom lab hosts several unique research initiatives. Central to the theme is the idea that telecom devices can be made ubiquitous, and deployed in numbers which are so large that data they gather is at a very high resolution. This data may be multi-dimensional but even with two dimensions - of space and time - it is extremely useful. The resulting Internet of Things and the Big Data flowing there from requires innovations in protocol stacks, hardware at layers 1, 2 and 3 in large distributed back-end repositories and in inference engines for the analytics. We have provisioned cloud repositories and have web-enabled several application domains such as healthcare, agriculture and animal management. • Internet of Things (IoT) Lab: IOT lab aims at improving the quality of life of students through technology by bringing end to end multi- disciplinary researches to a single place.

Core courses for the minor will be designed in collaboration with various departments to enhance the general education of undergraduate students by ensuring that they have basic exposure to, and familiarity with, policy, legal, and societal aspects of science and technology issues. Courses may also be organized as seminars to provide the opportunity for students to engage in cutting-edge discussions on current public policy topics, e.g., Science, Technology, and Sustainable Development; Industrial Innovation and Organization; Health Systems and Innovations; Science, Technology, and the Future of Agriculture; and Information Infrastructure. With further recruitment, we also expect eventually to develop a Master’s degree in Public Policy (MPP) as well as Executive Education courses for policy-makers as well as other senior personnel from relevant governmental, inter-governmental, and private organizations. Over time, we can also imagine the exploration of a B.Tech.-MPP dual degree programme.

Research AREAS While the School of Public Policy is only just beginning to get off the ground, some faculty members at IIT Delhi have been engaging in STI policy research projects through a major grant from the Department of Science and Technology – the DST-Center for Policy Research – as well as some smaller research grants to individual faculty members. These include studying the productivity of technically-skilled returnees, linkages of MNC R&D centers to the Indian innovation ecosystem, effectiveness of academia-industry knowledge linkages, factors affecting the performance of publicly-funded incubators and ICT-based agro-metrological advisories. We also have contributed to the development of a draft technology-led innovation policy for DST and also held a number of workshops on various topics (such as inclusive innovation and technology assessment).

PROSPECTUS 2020 - 2021 major central facilities 6. Ultramicrotomy Ultramicrotomy is a method for cutting specimens into extremely thin slices, called ultra-thin sections, which can be studied and documented at different magnifications in a transmission electron microscope. Ultra thin sections of specimens are cut using a specialized instrument called an “ultramicrotome”. The usual thicknesses for transmission electron microscopic examinations range between 20 nm and 150 nm. There are various techniques for preparing such thin samples. Besides ion etching, FIB, tripod polishing and electrochemical processing, ultramicrotomy is a fast and clean method of producing ultra-thin sections of biological samples as well as polymers, rubber, ductile and even hard and brittle Figure 6 : Ultramicrotome (Leica UC-6) materials. A key advantage of ultramicrotomy is the size and homogeneity of the electron-transparent area of specimens prepared with this technique.

7. Atom Probe Tomography Atom probe tomography is a unique characterization technique that facilitates three-dimensional visualization as well as in‐depth analysis of nano‐scale features at near‐ atomic scale resolution. APT is fundamentally a time of- flight (TOF) mass spectrometry technique. The power of APT lies in its ability to tie compositional information to structure. LEAP accomplishes this with high analytical sensitivity which can reach one atomic part per million (appm). Design and development of materials with tailored properties at the nano scale requires understanding of elemental distribution at the atomic scale. Atom probe tomography with Local Electrode Atom Probe (LEAP) Figure 7 : Atom Probe Tomography Facility has the capability of characterizing materials ranging from metals, polymers, ceramics, semiconductors and composites, for their elemental distribution in 3D at the atomic scale.

4. MALDI-TOF/TOF Mass Spectrometry Matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry (MALDI-MS) emerged as an effective analytical tool use for studying the molecular mass determination, protein identification & characterization, identification of post translational modification, terminal sequencing and more other applications . In general, molecules in the gas phase (or species desorbed from a condensed phase) are ionized, and the ions are then accelerated by an electric field and separated on the basis of their mass-to-charge ratio (m/z) and further detected. A time-of-flight (TOF) mass spectrometer separates ions Figure 11 : Bruker UltrafleXtreme MALDI-TOF/TOF with identical kinetic energy but different m/z, since lighter Mass Spectrometer ions travel faster than heavier ones. A mass spectrum is a chromatogram presenting the signal intensity (y-axis) versus m/z (x-axis). Interpretation of the fragmentation patterns and isotopic peaks can provide valuable clues for the structure determination of organic molecules. MALDI provides a ‘soft’ ionization source that prevents decomposition of fragile biomolecules, producing primarily singly charged, intact protein ions. The ions produced with the MALDI technique are analyzed using a time-of- flight (TOF) mass spectrometer, which is characterized by a high ion throughput and therefore high sensitivity.
