New materials for energy and information storage and transmission
The Department of Physics at SRM University-AP is organising the second edition of the Eminent Guest Lecture Series: An Odyssey of Physics on July 24, 2021, Saturday at 3.00 pm. The session will be engaged by Prof S Patnaik from the School of Physical Sciences in Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi on the subject “New Materials for Energy and Information Storage and Transmission”. Prof. V S Rao, Vice-Chancellor; Prof. D. Narayana Rao, Pro-Vice-Chancellor; Prof. C Durga Rao, Associate Dean, SLASS; Prof. Ranjit Thapa; Prof. Amit Chakraborty; and Prof. Pranab Mandal from the Department of Physics at SRM University-AP will be the panellists for the session.
Abstract:
The discovery of Dirac and Weyl semimetals (WSM) has brought forth the condensed-matter realization of Dirac/Weyl fermions, which were previously theorised as low energy excitations in high energy particle physics. In the recent past, we have witnessed some exceptional developments in chalcogenide and pnictide materials that have been identified with such properties. Several age-old industrial materials based on selenides, tellurides, borides and oxides have come to the fore that promise to usher in a new understanding of correlated electronic systems. Towards material implementation of quantum computation, we shall review the electromagnetic properties of topological superconductor SrxBi2Se3 and study its pairing mechanism. Several transition metal mono-pnictides are under intense investigation for understanding the properties of inversion-symmetry broken Weyl semimetals. Non-trivial Berry phase and chirality are important markers for characterizing topological aspects of Weyl semimetals. We shall discuss aspects of exceptional magneto-resistance seen in the normal state of these topological semimetals. In specific, we shall summarize potential applications with regard to material properties of the following systems a) Single-stage cryocooled superconducting magnets for MRI (MgB2), b) Cables for lossless energy transmission and storage (Bi2Sr2Ca2Cu3O10), c) Materials to implement Quantum Computation (Sr intercalated Bi2Se3), d) Better read-heads for magnetic storage devices (NbP, TaSb2), e) Magnetic Nano-particles for Cancer therapy (Co+CoO EB), f) Thermoelectric materials for waste heat scavenging (ZrNiPb), g) Next-generation piezo devices using multiferroic materials. (Y2CoMnO6) and h) new ideas on solar energy and battery applications.

Let’s crack the GATE
The Department of Electrical and Communications Engineering in collaboration with TEQUIP FACULTIES presents a workshop for GATE aspirants, titled “Let’s crack the GATE” on July 17, 2021, Saturday, at 2.00 pm. Experienced guest speakers namely, Kranti Ingle, Assistant Professor in UEC Ujjain; Atish Katkar, Assistant Professor in GEC Jhalawar; and Rashmi Rathi Upadhyay, Assistant Professor in BIT Mesra will be the trainers of the session. Dr Siva Sankar Y, Professor of Practice from the Department of ECE at SRM University-AP will coordinate the session.
Graduate Aptitude Test in Engineering (GATE) is the gateway for admission into the Masters Program and Job in Public Sector Companies. It is a national level examination that tests the comprehensive understanding of various undergraduate subjects in engineering and science. GATE is conducted jointly by the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) Bangalore and seven Indian Institutes of Technology (IITs) at Bombay, Delhi, Guwahati, Kanpur, Kharagpur, Madras and Roorkee on behalf of the National Coordination Board (NCB)-GATE, Department of Higher Education, Ministry of Education (MoE), Government of India.
All prudent BTech students preparing for GATE are invited to attend this workshop on July 17, 2021, at 2.00 pm to know more about this Computer Based Test (CBT) that has a crucial role in the life of an engineering graduate.

An Informative Webinar on Choosing BSc (Hons) Integrative Biology at SRM-AP and its Prospective Career Options
SRM University-AP has begun a series of Webinars to introduce its departments and courses to aspiring applicants of the undergraduate degree programmes. Different departments are presenting interactive sessions to provide an overview of their respective courses and additional resources that SRM University-AP students have access to during their academic years. The Department of Biological Sciences hosts a similar seminar to enlighten enthusiastic students with an overview of the BSc (Hons) in Integrative Biology and the career options associated with it. Prof Jayaseelan Murugaiyan, Head of the Department of Biological Sciences, will educate the audience with an in-depth discussion on the subject and why it will be beneficial to pursue the BSc in Integrative Biology from SRM University-AP. The session is on July 22, 2021, at 4:00 p.m.
The series primarily aims to provide candidates with information about the department, courses, and unlimited prospects to explore at SRM University-AP, Andhra Pradesh. Prof Jayaseelan Murugaiyan is a senior scientist and subject matter expert who previously worked as the Scientist & Group Leader (Proteomics) at the Institute of Animal Hygiene and Environmental Health, Center for Infectious Medicine, Freie Universität Berlin, Germany. He taught at many national institutes and an international institute, Germany’s Freie Universitaet-Dhalem Berlin’s Research School of Biomedical Sciences. He is the author of almost 50 papers in biological sciences and studies. To obtain detailed information about the BSc in Integrative Biology programme, you must attend the informative session on July 22, 2021, at 4:00 p.m.
