It is my great privilege to announce the following courses:

  1.   “Physics of Strongly Correlated Electron Systems”  (December 19-23, 2016) 
  1. “Materials under Extreme Conditions – Enabling Technologies and Applications” (December 26-30, 2016) 

It  is being organized by the Centre for High Pressure Research, Bharathidasan University, Tiruchirappalli, India  under the support of GIAN, MHRD, New Delhi.

The scope of the Workshop is to provide a common platform to discuss and understanding the basics of high pressure techniques,  recent developments in the field of Pressure effects on various strongly correlated systems at extreme conditions, Synthesis of materials under high pressure, Iron based superconductors, Theoretical developments and predictions, High pressure instrumentation at extreme conditions on transport, magnetic, structural using DAC, synchrotron and neutron diffraction etc. Leading experts from France and India will be invited to give lectures and the expected participants are young research scholars, Post Doctoral fellows and young Faculties from different parts of India and France.

Further, the Workshop will provide good opportunity to have a direct interaction and discussion with the Senior Scientists and academicians working in the core area of strongly correlated systems and high pressure physics. Hence, I would be very much delighted to communicate the information to your young Faculties, Research scholars and students and kindly encourage to participate in the GIAN Programme. Certificate with 02 credit for each course will be provided to the participants.

The  brochures are enclosed for your reference and please refer :www.bdu.ac.in for the latest information about the program or contact the course Coordinator.
