The Physical Chemistry group meeting involves a presentation from one of the Physical Chemistry faculty/student about their work or some interesting problem in Physical Chemistry. These meetings were held every few weeks and often had visitors to the department give them.
In the past, we had a Journal Club discussion on Statistical Mechanics. Students of our group and the research group of Sutapa Mukherji typically attended this meeting. During these meetings, we discuss some recent paper on a topic related to Statistical Mechanics. We have had discussions on role of noise in biological systems, gene regulatory networks.
If you are interested in attending any of these meetings, please send an email to: madhavr AT iitk DOT ac DOT in.
