27th Kerala Science Congress

Dear all,


Let me share with you the details of 27th Kerala Science congress that was conducted at Camelot Convention Centre, Alappuzha from 27-29 January 2015. I and Mr. Sujith (Guest Faculty) could attend the conference on the behalf of Department of Physics University of Kerala, Trivandrum. Attaching herewith the report of Kerala Science congress published in Malayala Manorama.

I take this opportunity to congratulate Dr. Santhosh Kumar, Scientist VSSC who got Young scientist award. I cherish the good old memories with him during my research career at National Institute of Interdisciplinary Science and Technology, Trivandrum.




On 28th January 2015, we had a special summit on Hydrology and Ecology of Alappuzha. Many eminent persons like Dr. K P Sudheer (IIT, Chennai)… offered their suggestion for the improvement of traditional industries in the district. It was definitely an informative talk being a resident of Alappuzha district since I should frankly say that we had little thoughts about these. Attaching herewith the details of Summit…



On concluding day, there were sessions presenting the valuable inputs received from the young scientist awardees. Science congress recommendations for the improvement of traditional industries should be considered the take back home since it is very hard to understand the conflicting interests in Vembanad Lake and hence scientific interference is definitely needed to understand the fragile nature of 25,000 years old ecosystem in Kerala.

I was delighted to deliver a talk at Sree Narayana College, Varkala, as part of the TRENDZ Seminar Series 2025 organised by the PG Department of Physics. Speaking on “2D Materials for a Sustainable Energy Future” , I had the opportunity to introduce students and faculty to the fascinating world of ultrathin materials, their role in next-generation fuel cells, and how they tie into the broader vision of sustainable development. We discussed why 2D materials are considered the future-high surface area, tunable properties, and exceptional catalytic behaviour-while also reflecting on the challenges such as large-scale fabrication, stability, and commercialization. The interaction was warm, thoughtful, and energetic, and it was wonderful to see the enthusiasm of the students during their paper presentations. Sharing a few photos from the session, grateful to Smt. Malu for the invitation and the enriching academic atmosphere. Duty Certificate Link to drive On 18 November 2025 , I had the opp...

A Moment of Grace and Responsibility In the sacred silence of a church, we often see a priest standing before the congregation. He may not always be the wisest, the most talented, or the most scholarly in the scriptures. Yet, once chosen to stand in that space, he carries a responsibility, not of perfection, but of presence. He becomes a vessel, entrusted to speak, to guide, and to serve. These words, shared by Nazeeb Sir, deeply resonate with me. Today, I stood before an august gathering that included the respected IQAC Director and faculty members from across the University, not as the most accomplished, but as one entrusted with a message. It is not position, but purpose that calls us to speak. And when chosen, we must honour that moment with humility and readiness. The occasion was the One-Day Workshop on Content Creation on SWAYAM Platform , organized by the Internal Quality Assurance Cell (IQAC), University of Kerala, held on 20th June 2025 at CLIF, Kariavattom Campus . I had the...

🌟 Kudos to Dr. Rakhi R. B., our proud alumna of the Department of Physics, University of Kerala. She has once again made it to the Stanford University-Elsevier “Top 2% Scientists of the World” list, based on the August 2025 update of the Ioannidis standardized citation database (DOI: 10.17632/btchxktzyw.8). This recognition covers both career-long impact up to 2024 and single-year citation influence for 2024, highlighting her global standing in nanomaterials and energy research. 👏 What makes this truly remarkable is that it is the 6th consecutive year she has retained her place in this prestigious global list, reflecting sustained excellence, consistent contributions, and leadership in research. Kudos to Dr. Rakhi for bringing such glory. We are all proud of her achievements and wish her continued success in her scientific journey. 🌹✨ The Stanford–Elsevier Top 2% Scientists of the World (2025 update) has once again brought pride to the University of Kerala with the inclusion of two...
