Jamia Millia Islamia has attracted participants from 55 countries in many of its courses under the aegis of MHRD’s Global Initiative for Academic Networks (GIAN).
Professor Antoni De Felice, a renowned Professor at Yukawa Institute for Theoretical Physics, Kyoto University, Japan Friday asked students to develop their own way of doing Physics. He is delivering a week-long course on‚ ‘Introduction to Cosmological Perturbation Theory’ at Centre for Theoretical Physics (CTP).
He said, “When you are looking for a job people want to see some expertise. Despite the fact that theoretical physics is not easy, try to build up your own knowledge. There are new theories that keep coming up every now and then but they must be tested for their sense and applicability.”
The 6-day lecture series has been designed with the objective to “help students understand the foundation of perturbation theory in a gauge invariant formulation”, Professor Sami, Centre for Theoretical Physics and Course coordinator of the programme said. Enunciating the work of Professor Felice, he discussed the scope and objectives of his workshop and introduced the foreign faculty to the students of the GIAN course from December 16-23, 2016.
The course has attracted over 55 participants from across the country. Emeritus Professor AN Mitra, University of Delhi who has a three-decade-old association with Jamia said that he was elated to see the growth of the Centre and the magnitude of work that has come from the university.
