IMSc Foundation Series 2025 in Theoretical Physics

→ Asia/Kolkata
Madanagopalan Padmanath (Reader)
Description

The IMSc Foundation Series 2025 in Theoretical Physics is a week-long academic initiative organized by the Outreach Team at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences (IMSc), Chennai. The program is scheduled from 23rd to 27th June 2025 and will offer three intensive short-term courses at the MSc Physics level tailored for early-stage physics students from Chennai and nearby regions. The courses will be delivered by renowned academicians from IMSc Chennai, aiming to bridge the gap between coursework and research. Through these engaging lectures, participants will gain insights into the Master's level topics from a research perspective. Our goal is to inspire the next generation of physicists and encourage them to pursue careers in academic research.

Participation is open for final year Bachelor students and first year Masters students. Interested students should apply for participation. 

Application Deadline: 16th-June-2025

Note that we might need to be selective on the participant list in case of large number of applications. The list of participants will be announced by 18th June 2025.

    • Gravitational-wave astronomy: Today and tomorrow [Institute Colloquium]: Ajith Parameswaran

      Recent observations of gravitational waves (GWs) have opened up a new branch of astronomy. During their first three observing runs, LIGO and Virgo observed around a hundred compact binary mergers involving black holes and neutron stars. Recently, pulsar timing arrays also obtained evidence of a nano-Hz gravitational-wave background. As the sensitivity of the GW detectors improves and new detectors join the network, we will detect new sources and phenomena. There is also an ongoing international effort to expand the frequency band of GW observations and to build the next-generation detectors. This talk will summarise the current results from GW observations and future expectations.
