Faculty Research Quests

Many of our Faculty members have their own research quests to achieve solutions to concerns that they have been observing and experiencing. Let’s listen, and work with them!

Dr. Bharath Setturu says- “My primary research interest is in “Spatial Informatics” and “Computer Science applications”, focusing on multidisciplinary domains. Spatial informatics (Spatial Data Science) is emerging as a powerful field of research which integrates geography, data science algorithms, and technology. The advancement of computing capabilities and sound data availability aid in extracting meaningful insights and decision-making. Spatial data science spans its application in multiple domains such as region planning (urban/rural), environmental conservation, natural resources monitoring, natural disaster management, transportation, public health, and e-governance; not limited to the listed areas but has vast potential. Research in this domain will play a significant role in solving societal problems and aid in making informed decisions.”

Prof. Satyavolu Srinivas Rao cites- “Geometric Physics applies modern (differential) geometry to formulate and use physical theories. Classical Mechanics, Electromagnetism, General Relativity are all stated in terms of manifolds, differential forms and connections. Quantum mechanics involves Lie algebras. More recently, Quantum Field Theory brings in Lie algebroids. I was Coinvestigator in the SERB Project “Nonlinear algebra and Lie algebroid approaches to Quantum Field Theory” (SERB file no ECR/2015/000081). Various Brackets, Algebroids and Cohomologies arise in a physical context. Isomorphism of cohomologies using Hochschild-Kostant-Rosenberg techniques is the specific problem under investigation. Preliminary results are in the preprint arXiv:1607.00807v1.”

Sri Saurav Sarmah explains- “My area of research is the definition and measurement of national power and its impact on foreign policy. Right now, I am working on (i) the importance of soft power in China’s foreign policy, (ii) a Kautilyan perspective on national power and (iii) international index for measurement of ‘national power and its different dimensions’.”

Dr. Nandha Kumar KG expounds- “My primary research interest is applying Artificial Neural Networks to Data Mining problems (classification, prediction, clustering, association rules). It includes some specific subdomains such as Customizing the ANN, Optimizing the ANN, Deep learning, Applications of ANN in Business, Entertainment, Psychology and Education. Additionally, I am interested in handling unstructured and semi-structured big data (preprocessing).”

Ms. Chaitanya R conveys- “My research focuses on leveraging soil bioremediation techniques to combat the pervasive issue of heavy metal pollution in agricultural land. In the process of exploring innovative approaches utilizing soil-borne microorganisms to restore soil health sustainably and economically. By harnessing the natural capabilities of these microbes, I aim to develop efficient and eco-friendly solutions for remediation, mitigating secondary pollution risks associated with conventional methods. Through this work, I strive to contribute to the preservation of vital agricultural resources and promote a healthier environment for current and future generations.”

Dr. Krishnan R explains- “My main research interest is in the area of Computer Vision. My research area mainly focuses on detection of topographical features from satellite imagery. In my research, I used many images in the area of medical, geographical and topographical. Considered many different categories of images to apply detection and classification algorithms.   I also use different simulators / programming languages & tools for spatial image processing. In my research, computer vision mainly focuses on feature extraction and detection; also applied many statistical methods for detection and evaluation. Other areas of research are scientific evaluation of educational paradigm, mythological aspects of different religions and astrological parameters.”

Dr. Priyadarshan Kinatukara is interested in “understanding mechanisms regulating lipid diversity, particularly chirality, at various scales – organismal, cellular, and molecular with a long-term goal to examine how lipid diversity can influence gut microbial populations for insights into lifestyle disorders.”

Dr. Shilpee Jain focuses on “developing biomedical devices and entrepreneurship to translate the research outcome from bench to bedside. My current research is based on designing unique nano/microbots for therapeutic purposes. These nano/microbots are efficient, nontoxic systems and can be tailored to perform a specific task in the body. The potential benefits of using these nano/microbots in medical procedures are significant, including reduced invasiveness, improved precision, and enhanced patient comfort. Furthermore, the inaccessible sites located deeply in the body can be achieved with the help of these micro/nanobots by applying external forces such as magnetic or electric fields. These tiny medical nanobots can perform assigned tasks inside the body and clear out from the body without causing adverse effects.”

Dr. Chetan Singai explains- “My areas of research interests are aligned to the domain of public policy, international relations, education sociology and policy, air and space law and human rights. My academic pursuits led me to Jawaharlal Nehru University (JNU), New Delhi, where I pursued an MPhil in Law and Governance, followed by a Master’s in Political Science from the Centre for Political Studies at JNU. My academic horizons expanded further with the prestigious Erasmus Mundus Scholarship, which allowed me to embark on a transformative journey across the University of London (UK), University of Aarhus (Denmark), and University of Deusto (Spain), delving into to the issues of education sociology and politics; vocational in education along with internationalization of/in higher education.  Through my research, I explore the intricacies of law, policy and governance especially in context of developing societies. My publications offer analyses of policy frameworks and their implementation for issues related to education system, air and space law, human rights and foreign policy analysis, contributing valuable inputs to the educators, policymakers, and researchers.”

Dr. Anilkumar Garag highlights- “My PhD is in the field of financial derivatives, I continue to research on Insolvency, Bankruptcy, Entrepreneurship and Farmers as Entrepreneurs. In the last few years I have trained the Board of Directors of Farmer Producer companies and have found interest in researching on sustainable Entrepreneurship. To sum up, I am interested in Financial Derivatives, Rural Entrepreneurship and the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code.”

Ms. Mummadi Jahnvi points out- “My primary area of interest lies in Corporate Governance and Insolvency Law. Corporate governance is pivotal in promoting the longevity of corporations, as it ensures the creation of sustainable organizations. The increased failures of corporates have highlighted the critical role of corporate governance. Furthermore, the time has come to review the insolvency system to address financial distress and promote the timely resolution of stressed assets. My research will focus on examining the effectiveness and efficiency of the Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code of 2016, its conformity with international insolvency law standards, and the role of corporate governance practices in preventing corporate failures.”

Ms. Anusha Virupannavar shows that- “My interest lies in the areas of Environmental Law and Constitutional law. Right to clean environment is a fundamental right under the Constitution. To realize the environmental rights judicial and quasi-judicial bodies are established. The National Green Tribunal is vested with the jurisdiction to take matters substantially related to environment. My research dwells deeper into the functions of the Tribunal and its effectiveness compared to other countries.”

Dr. Priyanka Dwivedi observes- “My research lies at the intersections of sociology, gender studies, organization studies and science, tech & society studies. I apply an interdisciplinary theoretical and methodological lens to examine issues related to gender dynamics across three realms. Firstly, I built on mixed methods approach to examine the production of gender subjectivities through HR polices and management communications in the work-life space. Secondly, I engage with the issues of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) to examine the DEI concept as it emerges through historical scientific conceptions into contemporary realms of governance, education, and industry. Thirdly, in the emerging area of AI technologies, I apply critical feminist lens to examine how technology infrastructures and technoscientific practices shape, perpetuate, and manage the gender bias, discrimination and inequality in social life and environments.”

Dr. Naveen Bhat discloses- “Language is the first effective tool of information and has been functioning since the beginning of human civilization. Here in India, the language is regarded as a legitimate means of knowledge (Pramāṇa), rather than just a tool for information gathering. Languages, their structure, their interconnectedness, their technicality, their functionality, and translation studies are the major areas of my research interests. Studies in Paninian grammar (Sanskrit) and manuscript-ology come handy for me in working and guiding research in this domain. Sanskrit and Kannada literature are the other two areas of my research quest.”
