Zeroing In

Zeroing in curates short conversations with scientific researchers primarily about their field of work, current research, ideas on interesting natural phenomena, and their drive for pursuing science and engineering. Given the rapid advancements in various fields of sciences and detailed specializations therein, we work on generating scientific awareness especially about the varied fields of research that lay forth in the context of the community at present, with increasingly interdisciplinary and advanced avenues opening up for research.

    Zeroing In with Prof. Thejesh Bandi | Part 1| On Building India's First Atomic Clock at ISRO

    From the biggest waves of the ocean to the tiniest of the atoms tick at their own frequencies. While some are extremely periodic, others shift through time. The watch on your wrist or the clock on your wall might tell you the time of the day but what do we turn to when we need to record time with extreme precision and accuracy such as in picoseconds? We turn to the atoms! Yes, atomic clocks are used throughout scientific instruments on Earth and outer space, and form the basis of the Global Positioning system among other innumerable resources that take power from the precision measurements and timekeeping standards, running essentially at the backbone of our everyday worlds. Reeling into the world of atomic clocks and trying to understand their fundamentals as well as the technology, we converse with the man behind India’s first ever indigenous space-based clock, Prof. Thejesh Bandi, currently an associate professor at the University of Alabama, US and the former Division Head of the Atomic Clocks Division at SAC, ISRO. P.S.: This conversation was recorded before the launch of the first Indigenous atomic clock, which has since been demonstrated to be working successfully in space! Artwork by: Akshita Arora.

    Zeroing In with Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh | Part 1 | On Discovering the Non-Classicality of Two Photons and the Universe

    Quantum optics is an extremely rich and diverse field with applications ranging from super fast computers (quantum computers) to establishing a zero-failure communication system! Forming one of the most sought after fields in natural science in the present world to deepen our understanding of the universe, it holds immense potential of answering the long pressing big questions in fundamental physics, and beyond. In our first episode of the fifth season of Zeroing In, we converse with a brilliant physicist whose contributions to this field essentially laid the foundations, while the research area was taking shape in the latter half of the 20th century. Our guest for this conversation, Prof. Rupamanjari Ghosh, completed her Ph.D. from the University of Rochester, New York, where among her other pioneering ideas, her thesis was based on exploring the ‘Non-classical effects in the interference of two photons’ with Prof. Leonard Mandel, widely known as one of the founding fathers of the field of Quantum Optics. Prof. Ghosh moved back to India as a professor at JNU, Delhi where she worked for the major part of her academic career. Subsequently, she moved to Shiv Nadar University as the Founding Director of Natural Sciences and later took over as the Vice Chancellor at the SNU. She has also contributed immensely to nation building over the years as an all rounded-researcher and teacher in academia, as well as in very significant capacities as a policy maker at the apex institutions and organisations such as NCERT, DST, UGC and CSIR, among others, throughout her career. In this first of the two part conversation with Prof. Ghosh, we discussed at length about the making of a scientist, and life in science. Diving deep, Prof. Ghosh takes us along the insightful journey of how the scientific landscape spanned in the 1980s, and through quintessential anecdotes, shares some beautiful insights from her starting years as a doctoral student, lending a closer view to a lifetime of pursuing brilliance while discovering and nurturing dexterity ranging wide across the experimental and theoretical fields of quantum optics, laser physics, non-linear optics and quantum information. Experience this rich conversation filled with beautiful insights and fascinating anecdotes on Spotify or Apple podcast or directly on our website: www.zeroingin.org Stay tuned for the second half of this conversation, coming out in the following week!
