SUMMARY:POL Colloquium | Seeing into the Entropic State: urban theory from the global South
DESCRIPTION:Surajit’s principal research field is urban planning. His research explores the overlaps between urban space\, technology and sustainability. Surajit's work has spanned diverse socio-political contexts internationally (India\, UAE\, the US and Hong Kong amongst others). Through his research in India\, Surajit aims to contribute to the development of theory grounded in the experiences of the Global South. His current projects include studies on the urbanization of Himalayan towns\, Smart Cities\, planning ethics\, and a multi-study project on parks and open spaces.

SUMMARY:Physics Colloquium
DESCRIPTION:Abstract: After recalling the basic principles underlying the formation of atmospheric and gravitationally lensed mirages\, we describe a simple optical lens experiment which accounts for all types of image configurations observed among presently known gravitational lens systems. We shall also report on a recent systematic search for multiply imaged quasars based upon observations carried out with Gaia and in the near future with the 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope. \nAbout the Speaker: Prof. Jean Surdej\, FRS\, renowned astrophysicist and Research Director at the Department of Astrophysics\, Geophysics and Oceanography\, University of Liege\, Belgium. In 1995 he obtained the title of F.R.S.-FNRS Research Director and in 2002 switched to an academic career path\, obtaining the title of  Full Professor at University of Liège in 2007\, visiting professor at the University Adam Mickiewicz (Poznan\, Poland) and VAJRA Adjunct Faculty at ARIES (Nainital\, India). Since October 2017\, he is also involved in research\, teaching and formation activities abroad (Qatar\, India\, Chile\, Poland\, …). His main research activities have dealt with radiative transfer in expanding atmospheres\, light curve inversion of asteroids\, gravitational lensing\, and the 4m International Liquid Mirror Telescope project. \nHe has held or still holds several positions abroad like a research cooperation position at the European Southern Observatory (ESO\, La Silla\, Chile) in 1976-1978\, ESO fellow at ESO (Geneva\, Switzerland) in 1978-1980\, Research Paid Associate at ESO (Garching bei München\, Germany) in 1983-1985\,  ESA (European Space Agency) Astronomer at the Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI\, NASA / ESA\, Baltimore\, Maryland\, USA) in 1993 – 1996 and various short study and sabbatical positions at ESO\, NRAO (National Radio Astronomy Observatory\, Charlottesville\, Virginia)\, Mount Wilson Observatory (Carnegie\, Pasadena\, California)\, MMTO (Multiple Mirror Telescope Observatory\, Tucson\, Arizona)\, Nice Observatory (France)\,  Observatory of the University of Hawaii and ARIES (Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences\, Nainital & Devasthal\, India).  \nWe look forward to your active participation. \nRegards\, \nDepartment of Physics

SUMMARY:Economics Department | Weekly Seminars
DESCRIPTION:Dear All\, \nThe Department of Economics invites you to their weekly seminar on Wednesday\, November 13th\, 2024. \nTime: 1:40 PM to 2:50 PM \nVenue: AC04-301 \nSpeaker:  Prof. Prabal Roy Chaudhuri  \nTitle: "The citizen\, the politician and the activist" \nAbstract:  Activism\, either on behalf of an issue\, or on behalf of some party\, is a fundamental aspect of the democratic process. We develop a framework where a mass of citizens endogenously decides on whether to become a politician\, or an activist\, or remain an ordinary voter.  While the activists do not compete for office\, some of their policy positions are represented in the post-electoral policy. We characterize single\, and two candidate equilibria in this framework\, and examine how allowing for activism affect the equilibria. \nWe look forward to having you with us. \nThanks & Regards \n– \nRegards \nDepartment of Economics \nAshoka University \nWeb: www.ashoka.edu.in \n
