2012 - Annual Report

Abstract

Ten students were awarded Ph.D., two submitted their Ph.D. theses and five students submitted master’s theses under the supervision of our faculty. We organised eleven conferences and workshops at IMSc this year. These include Special year in Number Theory, Instructional Workshop on Infinite dimensional Lie algebras, Sudarshan Fest, Instructional workshop on the Functional Analysis of Quantum Information Theory, Recent Advances in Data Structures, Nonlinear Functional Analysis, ATM Workshop in Operator Algebras, Workshop on Parameterized Complexity, Workshop on Social Networks, FQS2012 and Fracture and Flow in Porous Media. The list of off-site conference organization by IMSc faculty also continues to be impressive. This academic year the conferences organized outside were: Advanced Instructional School on Lie algebras, ATMW Representation Theory of Finite Group of Lie Type: Deligne-Lusztig Theory, Minisymposium on Cardiac Dynamics and Lorentz Workshop on Kernelization. The Subashish Nag Memorial lecture was given this year by Mahan Maharaj, Vivekananda University, Belur. This report was compiled through the efforts of an Annual Report Committee comprising of Drs. Rahul Sinha, R. Ramanujam, Anilesh Mohari, Krishna Maddaly, Paul Pandian and Usha Devi.
