Research Seminar on Quantum Error Correction via Purification
2026-02-26 11:30 - 12:30 | S-502 (SR Block)
The Department of Physics, School of Engineering and Sciences (SEAS) at SRM University-AP is pleased to host a Research Seminar on “Quantum Error Correction via Purification”.
Dr Amit Kumar Pal, Associate Professor of Physics at IIT Palakkad, an accomplished researcher in quantum information and computation, will deliver the session.
Quantum computation holds immense potential to solve complex problems that remain intractable for even the most powerful classical computers. A critical step toward building large-scale, fault-tolerant quantum systems is the development of effective quantum error correction techniques.
In this seminar, Dr Pal will explore how measurements on an auxiliary system can be employed to purify desired quantum states and how this approach connects to quantum error correction. Through illustrative examples, he will also highlight the key challenges in this endeavour.
Faculty members, researchers, and students interested in quantum physics and emerging computational technologies are encouraged to attend this insightful session.

Talk on Internet Adoption, Gender and Productivity in Informal Firms
2026-02-26 12:00 - 13:00 | C-503, C V Raman Block
Paari School of Business (PSB) is organising an External Research Talk on “Internet Adoption, Gender and Productivity in Informal Firms in India” on February 26, 2026. The talk will be delivered by Ms Jayati Chatterjee, Research scholar at IIT Madras.
Using nationally representative data from 2010 to 2023, the study analyses the impact of internet adoption on firm productivity in India’s unorganised sector, with a particular focus on gender differences. The findings reveal that internet adoption leads to an average increase of 28 percent in firm productivity. However, a substantial gender productivity gap remains, as female-owned enterprises exhibit nearly 48 percent lower productivity compared to male-owned firms. Notably, female-led enterprises that adopt internet technology experience a 23 percent increase in productivity, which helps narrow the productivity gap relative to firms that do not adopt the internet. These results underscore the significant role of digital technology in enhancing productivity and fostering gender-inclusive growth within the informal sector.
About the Speaker
Ms Jayati Chatterjee is a research scholar in Economics at IIT Madras, specializing in development economics and industrial organisation. Her research focuses on digital technology adoption among small firms, with an emphasis on gender. Her work has been published in top peer-reviewed journals, and she has presented her research at international conferences, including those organized by the Asian Development Bank (ADB), the Asian Development Bank Institute (ADBI), and the University of Tokyo. She received the Best Paper Award at ICMM 2024, held at IIM Amritsar.

Guest Lecture on Advancing Water Treatment
2026-03-05 12:00 - 13:00 | Tiered Classroom, 5th Floor, Admin Block
The Department of Chemistry is organising a Department Guest Lecture titled “Advancing Water Treatment: From Electrochemical Oxidation to Electrified Membranes” by Dr Naresh Mameda, Brain Pool Invited Scientist, Kyungpook National University, South Korea.
About the Speaker
Dr Naresh Mameda received his PhD in Chemistry from CSIR–Indian Institute of Chemical Technology (India) in 2016. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research and served as a Research Professor at Kyungpook National University, South Korea. He is currently a Brain Pool Invited Scientist at Kyungpook National University, Korea. His research focuses on electrochemical oxidation, catalytic materials, and electrified membrane systems for sustainable wastewater treatment and water reuse. Dr Mameda has published over 77 peer-reviewed articles, holds two patents, authored two book chapters, and serves as a guest editor for journals including Crystals, Catalysts, and Membranes.
Abstract
Electrochemical oxidation has attracted significant attention as an effective approach for degrading persistent organic pollutants by in-situ generating reactive oxidants. However, limitations related to mass transfer, electrode durability, and energy efficiency have motivated the development of integrated treatment strategies. This presentation discusses recent advances in coupling electrochemical oxidation with membrane separation to create multifunctional electrified membrane systems [1-6]. Key highlights include catalytic anodes designed for micropollutant degradation [4,6], hybrid electrochemical-membrane reactors for simultaneous filtration and oxidation [1,3], and electroactive nanowire membranes with improved conductivity and stability [2,5]. Continuous-flow studies demonstrate the efficient removal of organic contaminants, pathogens, and particulates, with enhanced fouling control, illustrating the potential of electrified membranes as sustainable, scalable technologies for water reuse.
