Courses Taught and Teaching Philosophy

People: Sashideep Gutti and Kannan Ramaswamy along with other interested faculty in the Physics department

Aim: The primary vision of this group is to make undergraduate level Physics teaching exciting, engaging, and rewarding for students. This is a challenge as a University like BITS has students with varied interests and ambitions. In particular, one one hand there are students who are primarily looking for applications of Physics that could be turned into an idea for a startup, on the other hand there students who are purists. They want in depth presentation of ideas in Physics. It is therefore a big challenge for the instructors to capture the attention of students of a class of 500 students for an entire semester. Keeping this in mind, our aim is to create situations in the classroom that are rewarding for both categories of students. Furthermore, we have developed several classroom demonstrations to explain tough ideas like precession and Coriolis force. Our motto is to create activities that will let students learn!

Teaching methodology: Several teaching techniques need to be blended appropriately for creating an ambiance conducive to learning. It depends a lot on how students respond to the instruction in the first few days of the class. It appears that activity based learning is the way to go. In activity based learning there is minimal lecturing from the instructor. Instead the instructor plans activities that will make the students think and learn about concepts and ideas.

One such activity based teaching method is called Research Based Pedagogical Tool or RBPT in short. COESME, IISER, Pune has conducted several RBPT workshops across several parts of the country for the College teachers at various levels. Kannan Ramaswamy has participated in three RBPT workshops starting from the beginners to the advanced levels.

In the RBPT method, the instructor takes up a concept to be taught in the class and converts it in the form of research questions and activities that students will undertake as a part of the course. In particular, the research problem is chosen in such a manner that students are excited and motivated to carry out the various activities planned by the instructor. Importantly, RBPT method emphasizes student autonomy - students have to come up with the ideas themselves, so that they get a real feel of the research and the problem.

Please find below a link that helps to understand RBPT based activity to teach a particular concept. Instructors who want to know more about RBPT based teaching methodology could contact COESME, IISER, Pune (http://www.iiserpune.ac.in/outreach/coesme).

Classroom Demonstrations:

Gyroscope – to teach torque, angular momentum and precession (https://youtu.be/k5WTACO1pvI)
Coriolis bench – to demonstrate Coriolis force
Tornado in a bucket – this demo was used to show that a mass rotating on a table cannot be pulled to the center, by a string attached to the mass, with a finite force. The formation of the "eye of a storm" was explained based on this demonstration. Gyroscope – to teach torque, angular momentum and precession (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xrHAoNs4rE)
Faraday cage – To show that electric field inside a metal box is zero
Sliding magnets on a copper plate and magnets dropped through a hollow copper pipe: to show a manifestation of Lenz's law and Eddy currents
Eddy current pendulum – to demonstrate the effect of eddy currents in a spectacular manner

Present Teaching Engagements

Since last few years I am enjoying teaching these courses using various teaching pedagogy at undergraduate/postgraduate level.

Data Structures and Algorithms
Theory of Computation
Computer Networks
Foundations of Data Science
Computer Programming
Internetworking Techonologies

Unlike traditional classroom teaching pedagogy, recently this subject was offered using MOOC, which involves flipped classroom teaching pedagogy. It is a form of blended learning in which students learn new content, online, by watching video lectures. And what used to be homework (assigned problems) is now done in class with instructor offering more personalized guidance and interaction with students, instead of lecturing.

The subject was offered using COURSERA platform and then Edx platform. We used the tools and technology of coursera (later EdX) for offering Computer Programming course via flipped classroom teaching pedagogy.

Research Interest

My research interest includes the development of the numerical methods for the singularly perturbed boundary value problems arising in many applications of science and engineering. Singularly perturbed boundary value problems are those in which the highest order derivative is multiplied by a small parameter ε, known as the perturbation parameter. As ε → 0, the order of the differential equation reduces by at least one and so the solution to the reduced problem fails to satisfy all the boundary conditions. Thus as ε → 0, the solution to these problems has multiple behaviors in the sense that there are the regions where solution changes very rapidly (these regions are called layer regions) otherwise the solution varies slowly (these regions are called outer regions). The classical/standard numerical methods fail to approximate the solution to these problems, so we need to develop non-classical/nonstandard methods for the solution of these problems.

In particular, my research includes the development of the numerical methods for Initial/Boundary Value Problems for Ordinary Differential Equations, Partial Differential Equations, Delay/Advanced Differential Equations, Singularly Perturbed ODEs/PDEs, Fractional Order ODEs/PDEs etc.

Research Interest

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), across the world the total number of people with diabetes is projected to rise from 171 million in 2000 to 366 million in 2030. The maximum absolute increase in the number of people with diabetes will be in India. In 2000, the number of diabetic patients was the 31 million and is predicted to be increased to 79 million till 2030. Diabetes is characterized by chronic high glucose levels and in the long run development of different pathological alterations in the retina, renal glomerulus, heart, blood vessels and peripheral nerve. Diabetes specific microvascular disease is a leading cause of blindness (retinopathy), renal failure (nephropathy) and nerve damage (neuropathy), and diabetes-accelerated atherosclerosis (vasculopathy) leads to increased risk of myocardial infarction, stroke and finally to heart failure. Out of these abnormalities, diabetic nephropathy is became the world leading cause of chronic and end-stage renal disease. Hence, my area research of interest is to find out the molecular mechanisms involved in the development of different diabetic complications.

Rapid progress within the last few years has brought a wealth of information regarding diverse roles for the covalent modifications of histones during development and differentiation. Histone modifications have been implicated in the regulation of genomic stability, gene expression, heterochromatin formation and developmental pathways. There are a daunting and growing number of histone modifications. The main emphasis has been on identifying modifications and their locations within the genome. However, very little is known about the interplay between the complex machinery that catalyzes the addition or removal of these modifications and how they are involved in orchestrating development. Therefore, we mainly focusing on the development of targeted therapeutics for diabetes and its complications associated with the misregulation of chromatin modifications.

Research

About Research: Our research interest focuses on design and synthesis of natural and synthetic bioactive nitrogen heterocycles as potent and selective anticancer agents. Recent research efforts aiming towards the use of organoiodines enabled us to discover several efficient protocols leading to easy access of drug-like bioactive heterocycles and natural products. Taking cue from indole-based natural products and synthetic drugs, identified various indolylazoles endowed with anticancer activities ranging from micro to nanomolar IC50 values. Efforts to develop potential photosensitizers resulted in the identification porphyrin macrocycle and boron dipyrromethenes with interesting absorption and emission properties. More recently efforts towards conjugate chemistry provided water soluble cationic porphyrins with remarkable (IC50 in nanomolar range) photocytotoxicity.

Research Interest

Understanding Tumor Drug Tolerance and Resistance

Our research team is involved in understanding the diverse molecular mechanisms or adaptations of tumor cells contributing to drug tolerance and resistance. In this regard, the following aspects are investigated:

Characterizing signaling and epigenetic adaptations of tumor cells upon drug stress: A toxic drug pressure often results in survival of a very small population of transitorily non-dividing tumor cells that eventually attain proliferative potential to re-populate the tumor. Our research is devoted towards understanding the signalling and epigenetic signatures of these 'tolerant cells' that serve as a pool of resilient cells re-establishing tumor population. We also compare the molecular responses after exposure to a toxic or a sub-toxic chemotherapeutic pressure. In this context, we have taken a next generation sequencing based approach followed up by extensive in silico analysis, and wet lab validations towards identification of druggable targets. Herein, we have observed dynamic alteration in developmentally relevant signaling pathways and modification of histone marks upon drug stress. Their functional implications are investigated. Overall, the understanding of the adaptive strategies of tumor cells upon drug pressure is directed towards identification of probable therapeutic targets preventing drug tolerance, resistance and hence associated recurrence of cancer.
Understanding the role of autophagy during drug stress: The cellular homeostatic process, autophagy has often been implicated in hindering drug sensitivity. However, the precise mechanism- of regulation of autophagy and the latter itself controlling cellular survival under drug pressure is poorly understood. Herein, we monitor autophagy after differential drug pressure in tumor cells. Thereafter, coupled with in silico analysis we identify signaling molecules/proteins regulating or having a crosstalk with autophagy. We further explore how modulating the identified molecules/autophagy can enhance chemotherapeutic sensitivity. In this context, we are further interested to explore the role of selective autophagy-mitophagy upon drug stress.
Exploring the role of master transcription regulator- YAP and LIM protein-Ajuba in drug resistance: Alteration in expression of developmentally active signaling pathways is a hallmark of cancer and associated drug resistance. In this regard, the dys-regulation of Hippo signaling pathway is often associated with cancer. Currently we are exploring the role of Hippo signaling pathway components, like YAP under drug stress and its crosstalk with cellular adaptive strategies. The differential localization of YAP and target genes under its control upon drug pressure is investigated.
Analyzing role of high glucose in tumor drug resistance: Hyperglycemic conditions are often positively correlated with progression of cancer, say pancreatic cancer. Especially, hyperglycemia is known to be associated with drug resistance as well. However, the precise mechanism of how hyperglycemia has an impact on drug resistance is poorly characterized. In this project, we explore alteration in expression of long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) with high glucose and explore its role in drug resistance. From in silico analysis and wet lab validation we have shortlisted a set of lncRNAs that are dys-regulated under hyperglycemic conditions in pancreatic cancer cells. Through genetic manipulation, their role in resistance is thereafter investigated. Moving ahead, we explore whether these lncRNAs regulate chromatin dynamics under high glucose conditions thus controlling selective transcription of genes.
Role of GOF p53 in drug resistance: p53 is one of the most important tumor suppressors; however, in over half of human cancers, p53 is inactivated due to mutations. Mutant p53 possess distinctive activities of their own, often not present in the wild-type p53 protein. This endows the mutant proteins with activities that contribute to tumor progression and chemo-resistance. However, the mechanism by which these mutant cancer cells can be sensitized has not been extensively studied. In this project, we explore the potential of regulation of protein homeostasis as a therapeutic strategy to attenuate GOF-p53 mediated effect on drug resistance and survival.
Platelet autophagy and thrombosis: This project explores the role of autophagy and selective autophagy like, mitophagy in low oxygen induced platelet activation and thrombosis. The objective of this project is directed towards reducing and designing an appropriate therapy to prevent hypoxia induced thrombosis in people moving to high altitudes, especially, the soldiers. In parallel we are also investigating platelet and circulating tumor cell (CTC) interaction and its crosstalk with endothelial cells.

The components are premixed in the mixing chamber and are then deposited on the spectroscopic window of the cold head of the cryostat where rapid cooling of the mixed gases takes place and forms the matrix. Infrared spectroscopy is performed on the deposited matrix to understand the nature of the interactions.
Simple organic syntheses - involving one or two steps.

The technique of Matrix Isolation allows us to study reactive intermediates, radicals, strained rings, etc. by trapping and isolating the reactive molecules in a cavity surrounded by one or more layers of inert material (Ar, N2 etc.) thereby inhibiting the diffusion of the substrate. Various spectroscopic techniques, such as, UV- VIS and IR can be used to study the isolated materials.

HSS F 322 : Social and Political Ecology

Objective of the Course: Social and Political ecology examines the politics of the environment and the social responses to the politics. The course would provide students awareness of contemporary debates on the issue of environment through case studies, movements and policies. This would enable students to have a broader understanding of issues related to policies and governance of natural resources.

GS F212: Environment, Development and Climate Change

Scope and Objective of the Course: This course focuses on the concepts of environment, development, and climate change in the contemporary world. This course focuses on the nature and causes of environmental problems in developing countries. Attention is given to both the causes and solutions of environmental problems and the role of state and non-state actors interacting at local, national and global scales. The objective of the course is to make the students aware of the debates and issues relating to environment, development and climate change. The goal of this course is for the learners to appreciate the people-environment relations and to understand the anthropocentric dynamics of development and climate change.

GS F333: Public Administration

Scopes and Objective of the Course: Public administration is a government’s functional arm that enables it to discharge growing responsibilities within an organized framework of well-established procedures. The quality of public administration determines the efficiency with which a government is able to reach out to fulfill the needs of its people and carry forward its objectives into practice. Think about how public administration plays an important role in your life as an Indian citizen? Public administration represents a great creative force, which if used in the right way at the right time, can transform and enhance the social, cultural and economic life of a nation……..

HSS F362: Local Governance and Participation

Scope and Objective of the Course: Strengthening local governments is one of the most important governance challenges in India today. A strong and empowered local government can bring together inclusive growth with inclusive governance. The course will introduce students to key concepts and ideas of decentralization with a focus on the constitutional framework for the same in the Indian context. This will include understanding the 73rd and 74th Constitutional amendments; the Panchayat Extension to Scheduled Areas (PESA); the idea and impact of reservations for women, scheduled castes, scheduled tribes and other marginalized communities. State wise and sectoral case studies will be used to further engage and explain the idea of local governance and participation.

GS F211: Modern Political Concepts

Scope and Objective of the Course: Students will gain a working understanding of the concepts of State, Rights, Democracy, Modern political ideologies, Contemporary political issues. The main purpose of this course is to acquaint students with the language of politics. Here, language is understood as the vocabulary and rhetoric of politics. As languages change over time, it is pertinent to understand the historical context(s) from within which the language(s) of politics emerged as well as those in which these continue to evolve.

HSS F249: Politics in India

Scope and Objective of the Course: India is a diverse country and has sustained a thriving democracy for decades. In its functioning, the Indian democracy deals with various complex issues juxtaposed against each other. The country is defined by great cultural diversity on the one hand and, on the other, the presence of deep social and economic inequality. Some state institutions that deal with these complexities have flourished and strengthened our democracy, while others have not. There is a constant negotiation of political space, ideologies, and identities by the state, political parties, and civil society. A constant challenge faced by the Indian democracy is its capacity to redistribute wealth and alleviate poverty. This Politics in India course will address these issues and help students understand the complexity that defines Indian politics.

Overview

Sravan Danda is an Assistant Professor (with OPERA award) at Computer Science and Informations Systems (CSIS) affiliated to APPCAIR at BITS-Pilani, Goa from September 2020. Prior to joining BITS-Pilani, Goa, he was a visitor at Systems Science and Informatics Unit (SSIU), Indian Statistical Institute (ISI), Bangalore from October 2019. During this period, he worked on developing algorithms for hyperspectral band selection using Mathematical Morphology (MM), a sub-area of Image Processing. He received his PhD in Computer Science from the same lab, SSIU, ISI-Bangalore in October 2019. In his PhD thesis, he established that, faster and efficient algorithms for image segmentation and filtering can be obtained by exploiting the contrast-invariance nature of its solutions. This was done by using power watershed framework from MM. Before joining the PhD program in 2013, he worked as a Business Analyst at Genpact, Retail Chain Analytics domain, Bangalore from October 2011 - September 2013. At Genpact, he was responsible for providing recommendations such as product pricing and stocking based on the behaviour of shoppers, backed up with statistical analyses on point-of-sale data. Prior to this, he received his B.Math.(Hons.) degree in Mathematics and M.Stat. degree in Mathematical Statistics and Probability from ISI, in 2009 and 2011 respectively.

My Teaching Inspiration:

Where the mind is without fear

Where the mind is without fear and the head is held high

Where knowledge is free

Where the world has not been broken up into fragments by narrow domestic walls;

Where words come out from the depths of truth;

Where tireless striving stretches its arms towards perfection;

Where the clear stream of reason has not lost its way into the dreary desert sand of dead habit;

Where the mind is led forward by thee into ever widening thought and action into that heaven of freedom,

my father, let my country awake.

Scope and Objectives of the course: This course is an undergraduate course on Machine Learning. ML is the sub-field of Artificial Intelligence. It helps engineers build automated systems that learn from experiences or examples. It helps machines make data-driven decisions. For example, Google Maps for navigation uses the route network, real-time traffic characteristics, time of travel etc. to predict an appropriate path for you using ML algorithms. ML is a multi-disciplinary field, with roots in Computer science, and Mathematics. ML methods are best described using linear and matrix algebra and their behaviours are best understood using the tools of probability and statistics. According to the latest estimates, 328 million terabytes of data are created daily. With this increasing amounts of data, the need for automated methods for data analysis continues to grow. The goal of ML is to develop methods that can automatically detect patterns in data, and then use the uncovered patterns to predict the future outcomes of interest. This course will cover many ML models and algorithms, including linear models, multi-layer neural networks, support vector machines, density estimation methods, Bayesian belief networks, mixture models, clustering, ensemble methods, and reinforcement learning. The course objectives are the following:

To select and apply an appropriate supervised learning algorithm for classification problems like Naïve Bayes, SVM, Logistic regression, Neural networks etc., To select and apply an appropriate supervised learning algorithm for regression problems like Linear regression, Ridge regression, Non-parametric kernel regression etc.
To select and apply an appropriate un-supervised learning algorithm for clustering, linear and non-linear dimensionality reduction etc., To understand ML principles and techniques like Model selection, Under-fitting, Over-fitting, Cross-validation, Regularization etc.
To test run appropriate ML algorithm on real and synthetic datasets and interpret their results.

Bioinformatics Tool Developed

EGF-like domains are found in a variety of proteins and are usually implicated in protein-protein interactions. EGF-like domains can be categorized into 3 types TYPE-I, TYPE-II and TYPE-III EGF domains based upon their structure and function. EGF like Domains Analysis & Comparison Package is a web based Bioinformatic tool that can analyze the given sequence and predict if it contains EGF-like domains. Given a Sequence in any format, it would search for EGF type domains in it and also specify the positions of these domains if any. The tool is GUI based and has been developed using JAVA Applet Programming. EGF like Domains Analysis & Comparison Package also shows the relative graphical positioning of these domains and one can query for the sequences of these domains. The tool also consists of an EGF library, which has about 200 different sequences that contain EGF domains in them. The program uses basic Bioinformatic searching algorithm technique to match to a particular given sequence. It first searches for a set of six Cysteines in the sequence and passes it on for further analysis. Once a set of six Cysteines has been identified, the program looks for whether the given part of the sequence matches to Type-I, Type-II or Type-III domain, based on weight given to each type of domain. As the sequence is matched to each of the Types, a count is increased for each of them. The matching is first carried out on the basis of sequence and then based on the gaps between each of the Cysteines in each of the Domain Types. Once a residue is matched to the set standards the count is increased and once it does not match the count is decreased and so on for each of the domain. Finally all three counts are compared and the Type of Domain identified. If all the counts are too low to be compared then the result is ‘NO EGF like Sequences Found’.

Post-Doctoral Research Area

The primary focus of the project was CTL mediated responses to the hsp 70 of Plasmodium falciparum. The work involved cloning and expression of the P.falciparum hsp 70 gene is a Salmonella system. The gene was also cloned into vectors for use in DNA immunization of different murine strains and in the selectable mammalian expression vector pcDNA3 (Invitrogen).

Experiments were initiated to evaluate the expression of the gene in different mammalian cell lines prior to the immunization of the different murine strains with recombinant DNA vector constructs and the establishment of stable transfectants. Peptides were also designed based on predictive analysis of the P.falciparum hsp 70 gene with reference to CTL epitopes of different murine haplotypes. Experiments were initiated to standardize the CTL assays in different strains of mice using various preexisting vaccinia constructs expressing hsp 70.

In a separate project the P.falciparum hsp 60 gene was expressed in E.coli and the protein partially purified using a 5' polyhistidine tag. Purified protein was used to produce antibodies in mice and experiments were performed to evaluate the expression of hsp 60 in P.falciparum and to evaluate the distribution and localization of hsp 60 in different parasite stages.
