Class and Inequality: A Session with Prof. Vamsi Vakulabharanam
2025-07-25 14:00 - 16:00
Class and inequality are issues that shape the social and economic landscape of a country; these factors reflect significant disparities in the availability and access to resources like education, food and many other factors. These factors are so pronounced that they are very much evident in the case of countries like India and China. In this context, the Department of Economics is organising a departmental talk on Class and Inequality in China and India. The talk by Prof. Vamsi Vakulabharanam from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst.

Random Forest based Machine Learning Algorithm for Estimating State of Charge in Lithium-ion Batteries.
2025-07-26 14:00 - 2025-07-28 17:00
Abstract: This paper proposes a Random Forest (RF) machine learning algorithm-based
prediction model for the state of charge (SoC) level of lithium-ion batteries for electric vehicles. To show the effectiveness of the proposed prediction model performance, the RF model has been compared with the other machine learning algorithms such as Support Vector Machines (SVM) and Gradient Boosting (GB) approaches. The dataset includes cell temperature, state of charge (SoC), voltage, and current readings at three different external temperatures15, 25, and 30 degrees Celsius are considered in this paper to test the performances of the proposed model. After preprocessing of the dataset, 20% of the data was used for testing and the remaining 80% for training purposes. The various metrics such as mean squared error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE), coefficient of determination (R^2), root mean squared error (RMSE), normalized root mean squared error (NRMSE), residual standard error (RSE), and relative absolute error (RAE) are usually preferred to evaluate the performance of the prediction models. The simulation results of the proposed model clearly show the effectiveness of SoC-level estimation for real-time battery management systems (BMS) when compared to other machine learning algorithms. The efficiency of the proposed model is 99% and execution time is less than 5 seconds. The accurate estimation of the SOC of lithium-ion batteries is crucial for optimizing battery performance, ensuring safety, and extending battery life in electric vehicles.

Observational Evidence for Black Holes in the Era of Mega-telescope and Multi-messenger Astronomy

Explore Astrophysics with Dr Shubhrangshu Ghosh
2025-07-30 15:00 - 16:00 | s-201-sr-block
The Department of Physics is organising a guest seminar on the topic “Observational Evidence for Black Holes in the Era of Mega-telescope and Multi-messenger Astronomy”. The seminar will be delivered by Dr Shubhrangshu Ghosh, Centre for Astrophysics, Gravitation and Cosmology (CAGC) & Department of Physics, SRM University Sikkim, on July 30, 2025.
Abstract
Black holes (BHs) are one of the most remarkable predictions of Einsteinian gravity. A plethora of overwhelming evidence appears to be quite compelling about the existence of astrophysical BHs in the observable Universe. These astrophysical BHs have, so far, been observed predominantly in two distinct mass flavors: as stellar-mass BHs in the range of ∼ (5 − 30) solar masses, ubiquitous and widespread in the galaxies, with several of them residing in close binary star systems; and as supermassive BHs (SMBHs) in the range of ∼ (10^6 − 10^10) solar mass dwelling in the nucleus/centre of virtually all large galaxies, and of yet unknown origin. Although invisible due to their event horizon, their presence is primarily inferred through accreting matter falling on them, ejection of powerful relativistic radio-emitting jets from their vicinity, often showing superluminal motion, orbital motion of stars around nuclei/centres of galaxies, and through detection of gravitational waves (GWs) from binary mergers. These BHs drive some of the most energetic phenomena in the observed Universe: with the stellar BH binary systems appearing as one of the brightest X-ray sources in our local galaxy, namely the BH X-ray binaries (BHXRBs) accompanied by strong X-ray variability in their spectrum; and on the other hand, the nucleus of active galaxies (AGNs) emit enormous amount of electromagnetic energy in all wavelengths, appearing as the most luminous persistent sources in the Universe. The measured masses of SMBHs are strongly correlated with properties of their host galaxies, suggesting that these BHs have a strong influence on the formation and evolution of entire galaxies, primarily through radio jet-AGN feedback, thus shaping much of our contemporary observed Universe. The recent direct imaging of SMBHs in the centre of Messier 87 and our galactic centre (Sgr A*) by Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) mission, and the first direct detection of GW in a coalescing binary BH system, GW150914, by the LIGO project, have provided a remarkable new window to this field. With the existing and upcoming next-generation telescope/detector facilities, both ground and space-based, like SKAO, ELT, Lynx, Athena, CTA, KAGRA, LISA, DESIGO, ET, including several Indian missions like AstroSat, XPoSat, INSIST, LIGO India, etc, which will provide a complete view of these high-energy sources through multi-messenger and multi-wavelength data with unprecedented accuracy.
Dr Ghosh will address these aspects, providing an overview of the field’s current status and future directions.

Abstract
The nature is filled with a bewildering variety of objects and materials. Over the centuries, the chemists have built a simplified picture, in which all the objects are made up of about 90 elements. During the past century, the physicists tried to simplify this picture even further. But, in this process, they have encountered newer and stranger particles, which were never even thought of before. I will describe this new picture, built by the physicists over the last century which is built on charm and beauty.

Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Materials: A concise account of my research

Affiliation: IIT Goa

Research Seminar on Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Materials
2025-09-24 15:00 - 16:00 | V307, VS Block
The Department of Physics is organising a Research Seminar on September 24, 2025 by Dr Jhuma Sannigrahi, Ramanujan Fellow, School of Physical Sciences, Indian Institute of Technology, Goa.
Title: Emergent Phenomena in Quantum Materials: A Concise Account of My Research
Abstract of the Seminar
Quantum materials, governed by the principles of quantum mechanics, host a rich variety of emergent phenomena arising from the interplay of strongly correlated spins, charges, orbitals, and lattice degrees of freedom. Subtle changes in parameters such as chemical composition, pressure, or temperature can stabilize new states of matter, including unconventional superconductivity, charge or spin order, multiferroicity, and exotic quasiparticles such as skyrmions and Majorana fermions. These discoveries not only deepen our fundamental understanding of correlated matter but also open pathways toward transformative functionalities.
My research aims to leverage these frontier materials to unravel the intricate couplings among charge/orbital, spin, and lattice interactions. In particular, I focus on exotic magnetism, multiferroicity, and novel functionalities in transition-metal oxides. Achieving these insights requires the synthesis of high-quality polycrystalline and single-crystalline samples, followed by rigorous magnetic, electric, and thermodynamic measurements. To probe the microscopic origins of their unusual properties, I employ advanced techniques such as X-ray spectroscopy, neutron scattering, and muon spin relaxation, which provide unique sensitivity to both static correlations and dynamic excitations often inaccessible to conventional probes.
In this talk, Dr Sannigrahi will outline the central scientific questions driving my research, spanning from the microscopic mechanisms of multiferroic behaviour to the emergence of diverse magnetic ground states and excitations. She will also highlight the critical skills and expertise that she has developed during my PhD and postdoctoral work, illustrated through selected research projects.
