Igniting the innovative spirit
2022-05-10 17:30 - 18:30 (Asia/Kolkata)
“The only way to discover the limits of the possible is to go beyond them into the impossible”- Arthur C Clarke
The indomitable spirit to give birth to the impossible is the magical force that keeps changing the face of the world. Every innovation, be it in the field of technology, medicine, or entrepreneurship, has paved the way for colossal changes simplifying life on earth. The sheer ability to think and innovate is what made human beings the ruling power. All the amenities and services that we revel in today would not have come into existence without the power to innovate.
As the world is surging ahead with far-reaching developments at an unimaginable pace, there is no question about equipping society to embrace these changes and equally be an unflinching source instigating such changes. Learning in the present era is beyond the ability to read, write and pass with flying colours. True learning does not take place without igniting the spark of creativity hidden inside every individual. The Entrepreneurship Cell has scheduled the launch of their latest endeavour “Innovation Square” to put on show the unrelenting power of innovation of our students.

An Odyssey of Physics: The eminent Guest lecture series
2022-12-07 15:30 - 17:00
James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the largest optical telescope in space that conducts Infrared Astronomy. The Department of Physics is coming up with an eminent Guest lecture series, An Odyssey of Physics, to bring the trending topics in the domain of physics for an impeccable dialogue. The first session of the series is on The Search for Habitable Worlds in the Era of JWST by Dr Liton Majumdar from the National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER) Bhubaneswar.
Abstract of the talk
One of the most exciting developments in astronomy and astrophysics is the discovery of planets around stars other than the Sun, termed ‘Exoplanets’. The discoveries of these exoplanets have revealed an astonishing diversity in their physical characteristics – masses, temperatures, radii, orbital properties, and host stars. Exoplanets known today range from super Jupiter to Earth-size rocky planets over a wide range of temperatures, including several in the habitable zones of their host stars. In this talk, the speaker will discuss how these planets form, why they differ from those in our solar system, and which ingredients are available to build them. Furthermore, he will also discuss how we study the atmospheres of these exoplanets using a combination of ground and space-based observations and numerical models and thereby characterise them. In addition, there will be discussions on the near future of this emerging frontier in the context of significant advances expected from facilities such as JWST, ARIEL, and large ground-based telescopes.

Dr Lorenzo Contessi on many-body systems
2022-12-14 16:00 - 17:00 | Online event
International research exposure is a prerequisite to developing an analytical bent of mind and knowledge acquisition. Global exposure help acquaint scholars with the nuances in the recent research domains and methodology. The Department of Physics is organising a Department Research Seminar to promote research discourse with eminent scientists and scholars from all around the world. The seminar will be addressed by Dr Lorenzo Contessi, Postdoctoral Researcher, IJCLabs, on December 14, 2022. In this seminar titled “Many-body systems around universality”, Dr Contessi will discuss various universal systems, especially in the unitarity universality class.
Abstract
Universal systems are quantum mechanical objects that can be described similarly despite having different typical sizes, energies, and degrees of freedom. This is possible because they share identical few-body properties. Unitarity is arguably the most common universality class for low-energy physics and can be found in hadronic, nuclear, and atomic fields. This interconnection between fields is important because it allows for the passage of knowledge from one field to another. This is of special benefit to the fields in which very little is experimentally known since emergent phenomena can be predicted from more widely known sectors of physics. What is the “best” theory to describe the emergent phenomena maintaining interdisciplinarity is not a simple question to be answered. However, effective field theories result is the most natural framework for this search for their systematic improvability and the connection to the underlying physics of the various universal systems.
Join the webinar to learn how to build an effective quantum mechanical theory, how to pass knowledge from one field to others, and what phenomena emerge in many-body systems.
