1. Computational Studies of the Temperature Dependence of Enzyme Catalysis
Abstract : Enzymes are known to adapt to low temperatures by lowering the enthalpy of activation of the key reaction steps. A lesser known property of some psychrophilic (cold-active) enzymes is an anomalous temperature optimum. READ MORE

2. Forest-savanna transitions: Understanding adaptation and resilience of the tropical forest ecosystems using remote sensing
Abstract : Climate and deforestation-induced changes in precipitation drive tropical forest-savanna transitions. However, precipitation alone provides a superficial understanding of the underlying mechanism behind these transitions. This is because our knowledge of how vegetation responds to changes in hydroclimate is fragmented. READ MORE

3. Rooting for forest resilience : Implications of climate and land-use change on the tropical rainforests
Abstract : Tropical rainforests in the Amazon and Congo River basins and their climate are mutually dependent. Evaporation from these forests help regulate the regional and global water cycle. Furthermore, these rainforests themselves depend on precipitation to sustain their structure and functions. READ MORE

4. Training-induced increase in mitochondrial biogenesis
Abstract : Endurance training leads to an improved ability of muscle to utilize oxygen. This is related to an increased density and function of mitochondria. READ MORE

5. Synthesis and Energy Transfer Studies of a Donor-Host-Acceptor Triad
Abstract : This dissertation describes the synthesis of a donor-host-acceptor triad, D-H-A, and its self-assembly into a well-ordered dimer. The energy transfer (EnT) properties of D-H-A as it is, in the presence of a variety of guest molecules and in the dimeric form are presented. READ MORE
