Dr. Balaram Khamari’s Agar Art Featured on ‘OMG! Yeh Mera India’, Telecast on History TV18

When science meets art, the outcome could want to make you say OMG! A few years ago, when Dr. Balaram Khamari brought his love for art into the BioScience lab at SSSIHL, he discovered a new form of expression through a recently popular unusual art form called ‘Agar art‘. Fascinated with his unusual yet amazing talent, the History TV18 channel has now featured Dr. Balaram...Read More

Optimal Control Studies on Age Structured Modeling of COVID-19

Identifying the Issue COVID -19 pandemic has caused the most severe health problems to adults over 60 years of age, with particularly fatal consequences for those over 80. In this case, age-structured mathematical modelling could be useful to determine the spread of the disease and to develop a better control strategy for different age groups. In this study, we first propose an...Read More

Book Chapter: Mathematical Modelling Studies with Reference to COVID-19 Pandemic

This chapter is part of the Book titled “Pandemic and Problems: Lessons for Recovery and Resilience” released by The Tamil Nadu Dr. MGR Medical University. Identifying the Issue In this work, we discuss the within-host, the between-host and the multi-scale mathematical models for COVID-19 viral infections. We also present the outcomes of our study. Objective of the Research We propose...Read More

Optimal Control for Predator-Prey Systems Involving Inhibitory Effect

Identifying the Issue While there are many predator-prey models developed to study the dynamics of populations of species, there are very few works done to study the controllability aspects to reach the desired state in finite time. None of the current models have developed control strategies based on the quality of additional food for predator-prey systems with type IV response...Read More

Electrochemical synthesis of a novel porous gold-curcumin nanocomposite for energy generation from alcohols

Identifying the Issue Alcohol based fuel cell require a catalyst that efficiently breaks down alcohol molecules at the electrode surface for generating energy. The catalyst must also be environmentally benign, have high energy efficiency, and operate at ambient temperatures. Objective of the Research Synthesize gold-based nanocomposites using simple organic molecules Adopt a...Read More

New COVID 19 Mathematical Modeling Studies Explores Adverse Events of the Antiviral Drugs

Identifying the Issue While there are many vector-host models developed to study the spread of COVID-19 at population level, there are very few works done to understand the interplay of the immune response and the virus particles in the body. Also there is no mathematical modelling studies that talks about the time optimal control studies on COVID-19 In this work, firstly, a...Read More
