The first SERC (Scientific and Engineering Research Council) school on nonlinear dynamics will be held at
Physical Research Laboratory, Ahmedabad from 28 Nov - 18 Dec, 2004. The school is the first of three planned nonlinear dynamics
SERC school.
The school shall commence with introdutory lectures on the subject matter. The tentative list of speakers are
1. Prof. V. Balakrishnan (IITM)
2. Prof. M. Lakshmanan (Bharathidasan University)
3. Prof. A. Lakshminarayan (IITM)
This shall be followed by a series of lectures in selected topics. The list of topics and tentative speakers are
1. Control and synchronization
Prof. P. G. Vaidya (NIAS)
2. Experimental Chaos
Prof. S. Banerjee (IITKgp)
3. Time series analysis
Prof. J. C. Parikh (PRL)
4. Spatio temporal systems
Prof. N. Gupte (IITM)
5. Quantum and classical chaos
Prof. S. R. Jain & Prof. D. Biswas (BARC)
The school shall also feature a series of lectures on special topics of current interest in the field.
All the selected participants will be provided travel and hospitality as per DST norms.
EligibilitY
The school is intended for Ph.D students, as well as exceptionally talented M.Sc./B.Tech/BE students, PDF and
interested college teachers. The subject specialization of the candidates could be any of the science or engineering
streams. The students from the sciece stream should have physics as one of the subjects in B.Sc. Experience in computer
programming is desirable but not essential.
