In addition, the\r\nphthalocyanine contributes to the photocurrent by absorbing longer wavelengths.We measure a singlet fission efficiency of (71±18)% in 2-nm-thick films of tetracene, and comparable singlet fission efficiencies in tetracene-C60 blends,demonstrating that exciton fission is compatible with blended, single-layer devices, and potentially enabling low cost, higher efficiency organic solar cells.', 111, '/Speakerphotos/priya.jpg', NULL, NULL, 'LTC 5101', 'Pilani'),

These are the questions that confront us the moment we probe Loop Quantum ‘Spacetime’. But why at all would one set out to do so? The motivation is present even in elementary physics. Take for example Newton’s first law, “rest is equivalent to uniform motion”, turn it around and ask, “what is the equivalent of non-uniform motion?” Newton has no answer to it. Einstein answered it by stating that locally, it is the gravitational field. And how is that so? Because, locally, no experiment can tell the difference. In like manner, intriguing answers emerge by posing questions of Quantum Mechanics; more when we combine it with Special Relativity and yet more when we attempt to reconcile General Relativity and Quantum Mechanics to arrive at Loop Quantum Gravity. If Special Relativity unifies space and time into spacetime, Loop Quantum Gravity abolishes first, time and then, space. There remain only relations among objects described by the formalism of an abstract network. At a fundamental level, time and space then are no longer useful concepts.

The extracellular matrix (ECM) within native blood vessels, and\r\nindeed other soft tissues, consist predominantly of cross-linked elastin and collagen structures\r\nthat contribute to vessel elasticity and stiffness respectively and critically regulate cell behavior.\r\nThe congenital absence or malformation, or accelerated pathological disruption and loss of\r\nvascular elastic structures within blood vessels can severely compromise vascular homeostasis.\r\nUnfortunately, faithful in situ elastic matrix regeneration and repair, and fabrication of engineered\r\nelastic tissue replacements in vitro are challenged by (a) the spatio-temporal complexity of the\r\nelastic matrix assembly process, which renders it difficult to replicate, and more critically, (b)\r\nattenuated tropoelastin mRNA expression by post-neonatal cells.

Our research work and that of many other groups have demonstrated that skin pigmentation is a biological adaptation that regulates the penetration of ultraviolet radiation (UVR) into the skin.  Skin pigmentation is an evolutionary compromise between the conflicting demands of protection of the skin against UVR and of production of vitamin D by UVR.  This compromise represents one of the best examples of evolution by natural selection acting on the human body.  In the history of the genus Homo and of our species, Homo sapiens, skin pigmentation has been a highly labile trait.

Existence of such a particle was proposed independently by several physicists (Englert, Brout, Higgs, Guralnik, Hagen, Kibble) way back in 1964 as a solution to some of the outstanding puzzles of the physics of the fundamental particles, notably the origin of mass. So is the Higgs Boson really responsible for the origin of mass? Although the Higgs boson itself is not directly responsible for the origin of all the mass in the Universe, there are several Higgs-like-mechanisms operative in nature which provide us some insight into the complex problem of origin of mass. The reason behind this brouhaha about its discovery is that the Higgs boson and the Higgs mechanism forms the back-bone of the most fundamental theory (as of yet) of matter and energy -- the so called Standard Model of Particle Physics. We will attempt to understand the Higgs mechanism in a non-technical way through analogies with familiar phase-transitions and come to appreciate that indeed the Universe as a whole has undergone several phase transitions during its evolution.', 163, '/Speakerphotos/rishikesh.jpg', NULL, NULL, 'LTC 5101', 'Pilani'),

There are two high-level challenges when writing software tests, which fall into two deceptively simple categories: Test Inputs and Test Oracles.  The vast majority of research on testing focuses on finding effective test inputs, those that exercise, or "cover", much of a program''s behavior.  But that is only half of the problem: how do we know if a program''s behavior is actually correct?  For that, we need a Test Oracle, or in more familiar terms, the test''s "checks" or "assertions".  If we test a "square root" function with the value 4, an oracle should verify that the output is 2.  As simple as this sounds, writing test oracles for real, modern and complex software is far more difficult.

Thus, the use of FRP enables reduction of dead weight of the structure and extends the life of the structure.\r\n\r\nThe talk will focus on one of the applications of FRP as externally bonded reinforcement and a synopsis of research work I contributed to at Pennsylvania state university in this field. \r\n\r\nFRP strengthening systems typically utilize an ambient cured epoxy resin as matrix as\r\nwell as adhesive. Ambient cured epoxies may have a glass transition temperature (Tg) close to the service temperature. The Tg being close to service temperature results in increased rate of physical aging which in turn results in the evolution of material properties. At temperatures close to Tg, creep deformation in the epoxy resin is also magnified. Hence it is important to characterize the Tg and creep behavior in the constantly evolving ambient cured epoxy resin to understand long term behaviour of FRP strengthening system.', 165, '/Speakerphotos/Anurag Jaipuriar.png', NULL, NULL, 'LTC 5106', 'Pilani'),

In his view, the main obstacle to developing such technology is the position of biogerontology at the boundary between basic science and medicine. \r\nHe believes that the fundamental knowledge necessary to develop truly effective anti-aging medicine mostly exists, but the goal-directed frame of mind that is best suited to turning research findings into tools is very different from the curiosity-driven ethos that generated those findings in the first place.\r\nAs a scientist with a training in an engineering discipline, specifically that of computer science, Dr. De Grey believes himself to be well placed to bridge this gap. \r\nHe attempt to do so in three main ways: by doing basic biogerontology research, identifying and promoting specific technological approaches to the reversal (not merely the prevention) of various aspects of aging, and by arguing in a wide range of forums, extending beyond biologists, for the adoption of a more proactive approach to extending the healthy human lifespan sooner rather than later.

Since age 16, when he first heard about Intel starting up, he dreamt of starting his own technology company.\r\n\r\nUpon graduating with a Bachelors in Electrical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, he failed, at age 20, to start a soy milk company to service the many people in India who did not have refrigerators. He came to the US and got his Masters in Biomedical Engineering at Carnegie-Mellon University. His startup dreams attracted him to Silicon Valley where he got an MBA at Stanford University in 1980.\r\n\r\nUpon graduation he was one of the three founders of Daisy Systems, which was the first significant computer aided design system for electrical engineers. The company went on to significant revenue, profits and an IPO, but Khosla, driven by the frustration of having to design the computer hardware on which the Daisy software needed to be built, started the standards based Sun Microsystems in 1982 to build workstations for software developers. At Sun he pioneered "open systems" and RISC processors. Sun was funded by long time friend and board member John Doerr of Kleiner Perkins Caufield & Byers.\r\n\r\nIn 1986 he switched sides and joined Kleiner Perkins where he was and continues to be a general partner of KPCB funds through KP X. There, through the years, with other partners, he took on Intel''s monopoly with Nexgen/AMD (the only microprocessor to have significant success against Intel, sold to AMD for 28% of AMD), incubated the idea and business plan for Juniper to take on Cisco''s dominance of the router market, to formulate the very early advertising based search strategy for Excite, and to transform the moribund telecommunications business and its archaic SONET implementations with Cerent (sold to Cisco for $7B), and many other ventures. He helped in creating value, having fun, succeeding, failing (remember Dynabook?) and driving impact in partnership with entrepreneur, and the partners at KPCB.\r\n\r\nIn 2004, Khosla, driven by the need for flexibility to accommodate four teenage children and a desire to be more experimental, to fund sometimes imprudent "science experiments", and to take on both "for profit" and for "social impact" ventures, formed khoslaventures, funded entirely with family funds. His goals remain the same - work and learn from fun and knowledgeable entrepreneurs, build impactful companies through the leverage of innovation, and spend time as a partnership making a difference. He has a passion for nascent technologies that can have a beneficial effect and economic impact on society. \r\n\r\nVinod''s greatest passion is being a mentor to entrepreneurs, assisting entrepreneurs and helping them build technology based businesses. Vinod assists or serves on the boards of a number of the companies including EASIC (programmable ASIC platform), Infinera (optical communications), Kovio (printed electronics), Skyblue (internet PC), Spatial Photonics (Micromirror displays), Xsigo (datacenter switch), among others.\r\n\r\nKhosla is a charter member of TiE, a not-for-profit global network of entrepreneurs and professionals founded in 1992 that now has more than forty chapters in nine countries. He is also a Founding Board member of the Indian School of Business. His current passion is Social Entrepreneurship with a special emphasis on Microfinance as a poverty alleviation tool. He is a supporter of many microfinance organizations in India and Africa. He has been experimenting with global housing.
