French Mathematician Prof. Jean-Marc Deshouillers Invited for 12th Distinguished Lecture
2025-01-23 14:00 - 16:00 | 304, Conference Hall, J C Bose Block
The Department of Mathematics organises the 12th session of the Distinguished Lecture Series on January 23, 2025. Renowned French mathematician, Prof. Jean-Marc Deshouillers will deliver the keynote session on the topic “Pairwise co-primality of consecutive elements from sequences with polynomial growth.”
Abstract
The study of the coprimality of elements from sequences with polynomial growth (e.g. $(lfloor alpha n rfloor)_n$ or SPS sequences $(lfloor n^c rfloor)_n$ goes back to Evans (1953), Lambek and Moser (1955). I shall give a short outline of recent developments obtained jointly with M. Drmota and C. M”{u}llner and with S. Naik.
About the Speaker
Jean-Marc Deshouillers (born September 12, 1946, in Paris) is a French mathematician specializing in analytic number theory. He is a professor at the University of Bordeaux. Deshouillers attended the Paris École Polytechnique, graduating with an engineering diploma in 1968. He received his PhD in 1972 at the University Paris VI Pierre et Marie Curie. In the seventies, he was an Assistant Professor of Mathematics at the École Polytechnique, which moved from Paris to Palaiseau. Deshouillers is a professor at the University of Bordeaux. In 2009, he was at the Institute for Advanced Study.
In 1985, he showed with Ramachandran Balasubramanian and François Dress that, in the case of Waring’s problem’s fourth powers, the least number of fourth powers necessary to express any positive integer as a sum of fourth powers is 19.

Understanding the Nuclear Aspects of the Big Bang
2025-02-05 15:00 - 17:00 | C-602, C V Raman Block
The Department of Physics is organising a Departmental Research Seminar on “Nuclear Processes during the Big Bang Nucleosynthesis” on February 05, 2025. The seminar will be delivered by renowned academician Dr Martin Schaefer, Department of Theoretical Physics, Nuclear Physics Institute, Czech Academy of Sciences.
Tune in to hear from the expert on the phenomenon of Big Bang Nucleosynthesis.
Abstract
It is believed that at the early stage of the Universe, roughly 10 seconds after the Big Bang, the temperature dropped sufficiently to allow the first atomic nuclei to form. Subsequent nuclear reactions produced stable helium and lithium isotopes and negligible traces of heavier elements. This process is known as the primordial nucleosynthesis of light elements or Big Bang Nucleosynthesis (BBN). At the end of BBN, the specific primordial abundances left an observable imprint in the current Universe. This echo nowadays serves to test the Hot Big Bang theory and the Standard Model of particle physics. An accurate description of BBN nuclear reactions is crucial in studying primordial nucleosynthesis. Nowadays, reaction dynamics can be calculated by applying highly sophisticated ab initio theoretical methods. In my contribution, I will discuss how a systematic approach to describing nuclear interactions and ab initio methods might contribute to revealing mysteries about this early stage of the Universe.

Mastering Research Publishing with Wiley
2025-02-07 10:30 - 12:00 | ALC 1, Homi J Bhabha Block
The Office of the Dean-Research is organising a workshop on Wiley, a book and periodical Publishing House that specialises in Research, Education Publishing, Certification and Higher Education. The workshop will talk on Mastering Research Publishing by Resource Persons Dr Rohini Kitture, and Dr Paramita Banerjee on February 12, 2025.
Abstract of the Talk
The session will begin with an overview of Wiley’s journals, offering the attendees an idea of the range of potential venues for their research submissions. It will then delve into the detailed editorial review process, covering initial assessments and peer review, and clarifying reasons for desk rejections. By gaining a clearer understanding of these processes, attendees will be better equipped to avoid common pitfalls, thereby increasing the likelihood of their submissions being successful. Drawing on practical tips from editors, this talk aims to empower budding researchers to improve their publication outcomes and maximise the impact of their work.

Abstract
The integration of Artificial Intelligence (AI) into Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communications is transforming the landscape of intelligent transportation systems, addressing the increasing demands for safety, efficiency, and scalability in vehicular networks. By leveraging advanced AI techniques such as machine learning, deep learning, and reinforcement learning, V2X communications can enhance real-time decision-making, predictive analytics, and dynamic resource allocation.
This lecture examines how AI empowers V2X communications to predict and mitigate traffic congestion, improve vehicular coordination in high-mobility scenarios, and enhance safety-critical applications through accident prediction and proactive alerts. It also discusses the role of AI in optimising spectrum usage, power control, and edge computing capabilities, ensuring ultra-reliable and low-latency communication (URLLC) essential for autonomous driving and platooning.
The discussion delves into the pressing challenges of deploying AI in V2X systems, including data privacy, scalability in dense vehicular networks, and the need for real-time learning under dynamic environments. By highlighting the intersection of AI with 6G technologies, this lecture aims to provide a forward-looking perspective on the transformative potential of AI in shaping the future of vehicular communication systems. This exploration is critical for advancing autonomous transportation and enabling next-generation intelligent mobility.
