| Description: | [Gluon - Faculty talk series] Prof. Bhavtosh Bansal & Prof. Rajesh Kumble Nayak (IISER, Kolkata) -- 1. Anticipating catastrophie tipping points in thermodynamic systems and elsewhere 2. Ten years of Gravitational-Wave Astronomy |
| Date: | Wednesday, Mar 11, 2026 |
| Time: | 2:30 p.m. - 4 p.m. |
| Venue: | Asima Chatterjee Lecture Theatre |
| Details: | 1. The talk will present phase transitions in thermodynamic solid-state systems linked to the spinodal singularity. It will show how loss of resilience near the tipping point appears as critical slowing down and increased electrical noise fluctuations. 2. The talk will discuss major discoveries, future directions in the field, and the role of the upcoming LIGO-India observatory in enabling Indian scientists and students to contribute to next-generation gravitational-wave research. |
