Information Theory

Course: Quantum Information & Computation

Instructor: Dr. Colin Benjamin

Semester: 8th

A very fundamental paper on "Information Theory & Statistical Mechanics" was reviewed . It elucidated the versatile nature of statistical mechanics from the perspective of Information Theory. It reduced Stat Mech into a problem of constrained optimization of entropy.

Active Brownian Particles

Course: Soft Condensed Matter

Instructor: Dr. A V Anil Kumar

Semester: 8th

I worked on the recentmost paper on "Effective Cahn-Hillard Equation for Active Brownian Particles". I simulated the active fluid in 2D and got a intuitive idea about active phase separation. Details appertaining to the code are appended in the document.

Beam Theory & Cornu's Expt

Course: Modern Physics Lab- I

Instructor: Dr. Joydeep Bhattacharjee

Semester: 3rd

Analytically determined the Young's modulus, in terms of material composition, using Beam Theory. This was verified by carrying out the optical experiment by Cornu's method. Other methods were also proposed as can be referred in the attached file.

Some of the courses in NISER curriculam require a term paper presentation wherein students can delve deeper into a perticular topic they like in the course of study or experimentation.
