SCIENTIFIC PROGRAM

The scientific program will consist of oral and poster presentations based on original research work. Undergraduate students, research scholars, project staff and post-doctoral fellows working on topics in physics are invited to register for the symposium.

We also have an invited talk by Prof. Sushil Mujumdar (TIFR).

In addition to this we have talk by Prof. Punit Parmananda and Prof. P. Ramadevi
