• #### Tuning the properties of high-Tc superconductor & Sr2IrO4, and exploring transport through single nanocrystals ﻿

This thesis is composed of three projects including the AC magnetic susceptibility study of high-temperature superconductor YBa$_2$Cu$_3$O$_{7-\delta}$, the ionic-liquid gating study of the Mott insulator Sr$_2$IrO$_4$, ...
• #### A dimensionally split Cartesian cut cell method for Computational Fluid Dynamics ﻿

(2019-05-18)
We present a novel dimensionally split Cartesian cut cell method to compute inviscid, viscous and turbulent flows around rigid geometries. On a cut cell mesh, the existence of arbitrarily small boundary cells severely ...
• #### Bayesian Methods and Machine Learning in Astrophysics ﻿

This thesis is concerned with methods for Bayesian inference and their applications in astrophysics. We principally discuss two related themes: advances in nested sampling (Chapters 3 to 5), and Bayesian sparse reconstruction ...
• #### Aspects of Quantum Coherence ﻿

(2006-03-25)
In this work our aim is to study several aspects related to quantum coherence as understood to correspond with the non-classical behaviour that can be observed for certain particular states of a physical system. In particular ...
