Arithmetic geometry concerns the number-theoretic properties of geometric objects defined by polynomials. Mathematicians are interested in the rational solutions to these geometric objects.

There are many interpretations of quantum mechanics, and ultimately experiments are needed to verify or falsify these interpretations.

In this thesis, I study the formation of large-scale structure and the physics of particle acceleration at large scales (~Mpc).

Vitamin A or retinol is essential in embryonic development, the visual cycle and the immune system.

In the early universe, the dynamics of the Higgs field can give rise to many interesting phenomena.

In this thesis, we have studied the potential of the zebrafish larval model in studying the ECS, as a complementary model to the existing rodent models.

Science is typically a patchwork of research contributions without much coordination. Especially in clinical trials, the follow-up studies that we do fail to be the most promising.

In this thesis we study the landscape of gravitational models which modify GR by introducing an additional scalar degree of freedom (d.o.f.) to source Cosmic Acceleration.

Molecular materials have been a subject of interest in fundamental research and applications for decades, and have been studied as bulk crystals, (thin) films and as individual molecules, due to the large variety in their properties. This dissertation explores pentacene crystals near the two-dimensional…
