IISER Pune Lecture Series at Your Institute | Interaction with the Faculty

One of the aims of IISER-Pune is to interact with other institutes and share the joy of doing science with students at all levels. With this aim in view, we are planning to organize one-day lecture series at various reputed institutes all over India. A typical one-day series would consist of three-four one hour talks by IISER-P faculties, along with lots of free time for the faculties to interact with the students (see below for details). This way, we aim to motivate young students in schools and colleges and also present latest research findings to Masters students planning to take up research as a career in India.

We propose to organize three types of lecture series:

Joy of Science Series
Aimed at students in Class XI, XII
These will be popular elementary talks by our faculties on exciting areas of science. The topics will be chosen in such a way that they are NOT part of the regular curriculum of the students
The aim is to make young students enthusiastic about science, and wherever possible, suggest them possible avenues for further reading, small projects etc

Science is Fun Series Aimed at students in I, II and III year BSc
These will be popular talks at a slightly advanced level than the Joy of Science series, on different areas of science. The topics will again be chosen in such a way that they are NOT part of the regular curriculum of the students
The aim is to make young students enthusiastic about science, and wherever possible, suggest them possible avenues for further reading, small projects etc

Scientific Research Series
Aimed at students in I and II year MSc
These will be popular talks, but at a slightly higher technical level. The topics would pertain to areas in which our faculties are engaged in active research
The aim is to make more mature students aware of the various avenues of research in modern science

The way we organize these talks is as follows:
The host institute/department indicates which series of talks it would like to host (Joy of science / Science is Fun / Scientific Research)
2. IISER-P finalizes a set of topics in consultation with the host institute/department
3. A date is fixed based on mutual convenience. Since ideally we would like maximum number of students to attend without any clashes with their existing class schedules, we would like these events to happen preferably on Saturdays. This is convenient for the speakers as well, since all our faculties are actively engaged in teaching, and are free on Saturdays. However, if it is absolutely impossible to organize the event on a Saturday, we can discuss with the host institute to come up with a mutually convenient date, if possible

We would rather like to talk to a group of genuinely interested and motivated students, than to a hall full of resentful ones!
All talks would be interactive, and we would encourage the students to ask as many questions as they wish to during as well as after the talks
There would be 3-4 one-hour talks with ample time for discussion between the talks. This will also ensure that there is enough buffer time between the talks, in case some of the talks stretch a little longer than an hour due to the interaction

IISER-P covers the travel cost of the faculties. We request the host institute to provide us with a lecture hall and other facilities like blackboards, LCD projectors etc. and organize tea/snacks for all participants. In case it is necessary for the faculties to stay overnight, we would request the host institute to take care of their boarding and lodging.

In case you are interested in organizing a IISER Lecture Series at your institute, please contact either Dr Sutirth Dey (s.dey(AT)iiserpune.ac.in) or Dr. M. Jayakannan (jayakannan(AT)iiserpune.ac.in) indicating
Name and affiliation of your institute/department
Type of lecture series you are interested in (Joy of science, Science is fun, Scientific Research)
A brief description of the institute/department
How many students you expect would participate
Any preferred dates, keeping in view the academic calendar of your institute

So what are you waiting for ...ask you institute to arrange for one of these lectures!!!!

Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics at IISER Kolkata

Conference on Mathematical Foundations of Quantum Mechanics
at
Indian Institute for Science Education and Research (IISER), Kolkata
from
16 to 21 of December, 2010.

In the last seven decades, Quantum Theory has arguably been the single most fertile area of scientific enquiry which has generated a vast body of research in diverse areas of mathematics and physics. In mathematics, it has led to enormous developments in the fields of Analysis in Infinite-dimensional spaces, Operator Theory and Operator Algebras, Geometry and Probability, Harmonic Analysis and Number Theory, even Mathematical Logic, to name just a few. On the other hand all of modern physics is based on the fundamental ideas of quantum theory. Yet, in spite of its spectacular success and fertility, there are still conceptual and foundational issues which continue to challenge physicists and philosophers alike. These issues have become more relevant with the advent of Quantum Computing. In the proposed conference/workshop (to be held in the campus of the new institution IISER, Kolkata), a few theme lectures on some of these areas will be held. Of course, standalone talks on related topics are also going to be there. We envisage brain-storming exercises from practitioners in the field.
The meeting is open to participation by mathematicians and physicists interested in the foundations of Quantum Mechanics, but the logistical limitations demand that the total number be kept below 40, out of which 10 are expected to be from abroad. The participation by Ph.D. students and young post-docs will be particularly encouraged.

The conference will expose Indian researchers greatly to areas which are hitherto scantily pursued in India, for example, the mathematical theory of coherent states, quantization techniques, foundational questions related to the various quantum mechanical paradoxes, etc. This will increase the research activity in those areas among the few senior researchers who pursue such topics in India and will also attract students to get interested and take up such challenging areas for their research.

The e-mail address for all communications pertaining to the conference is iiser.conference@gmail.com
Send us a mail if you are interested to take part in it.

Organizers: S. T. Ali (Concordia), T. Bhattacharyya (IISc.), S. Dattagupta (IISER Kolkata), S. S. Roy (IISER Kolkata), K. B. Sinha (JNCASR)
