Prerequisite: Background in Probability and Stochastic Processes and an interest in System Modeling.
Markov Chains and regenerative processes have been extensively used in modeling a wide variety of systems
and phenomena. Likewise, many systems can be modeled as queueing systems with some aspect of the queue
governed by a random process. Obvious examples of such systems occur in telecommunication systems,
manufacturing systems and computer systems. This course is aimed at teaching system modeling using Markov
chains with special emphasis on developing queueing models. The course contents are as follows.
Introduction: Review of basic probability, properties of nonnegative random variables, laws of large numbers
and the Central Limit Theorem.
Renewal Processes: Basic definitions, recurrence times, rewards and renewal reward theorem, point processes,
Poisson process, Walds equation, Blackwell's theorem.
Discrete time Markov chains: definitions and properties, matrix representation, Perron-Frobenius theory
Continuous time Markov chains: basic definitions, Q-matrix, birth-death processes, quasi birth death processes.
Embedded Markov processes, semi Markov processes, reversible Markov chains
Random walks
Fundamental queueing results: Little's theorem, invariance of the mean delay, Conservation law

This course has been initiated to introduce students to biosensors and microfabricated systems for biosensing,
primarily on silicon, so that they
can get on with their seminars and projects in these areas. The focus of this course would be to acquaint students
to device structures, analysis of the structures to obtain device characteristics and finally approaches to design
and test of these devices and systems. Pre-requisite: Introductory courses on device physics & differential
equations. If a first level course on devices has not been taken, students should get an introduction to the area by
reading a book such as `Semiconductor Devices: Physics & Technology` by SM Sze [John Wiley, India, 2002].
The broad structure of the course would be: Weeks 1-2: Approaches to designing electronic systems Sensor
classification & sensing principles Introduction to biosensors & bioMS Weeks 3-6: Semiconductor sensors for
physical measurands Physicochemical sensors integrable on silicon Weeks 7-9:Biosensors: Structures & device
analysis Catalytic biosensors Affinity biosensors Weeks 10-12: bioMS: Architectures & analytic models.
