ABOUT US
Student Talks on Trending Topics in Theory is a discussion meeting on topics in theoretical physics organized by and aimed at advanced graduate students and postdoctoral fellows working in India and abroad. This meeting is similar in spirit to the Modave Summer School on Mathematical Physics, held in Belgium every year. We hope to enable an interactive environment for students and postdocs working in areas like quantum field theory, general theory of relativity, string theory and related areas in mathematical and theoretical condensed matter physics.
The participants are primarily senior graduate students and beginning postdoctoral fellows. Nevertheless, we are open to younger participants and more senior postdocs depending on logistical constraints.
Our Goal
-
To bring together graduate students and postdocs working in India into a vibrant community by stimulating academic interaction with each other.
-
To provide enough exposure to various new research topics, culminating in thriving research ventures.
-
To open communication channels between students and postdocs who work in string theory and other field theoretic areas.
-
To facilitate and encourage student collaborations.
-
To enhance the teaching and speaking experience of students.
-
To foster an environment where students can get helpful feedback about their ideas about Physics (and sometimes regarding other social issues) in a low-pressure setting.
This year marks the 8th edition of the workshop
