Report on Oct-Nov Activities

NOBELIA’16





A programme based on ‘The Nobel Prize 2016 for various  streams’ were organized and held on Wednesday, 19 October 2016 at 1.30pm in the auditorium of Physics department, by our  little fresher’s in PG. They named themselves as HCl- Habile Cluster constituting a single boy representing hydrogen (Z=1) and the 17 girls representing chlorine (Z=17) in the periodic table. The students were assigned with different topics ensuring a pretty well on stage and off stage coordination. Dr.Subodh G inaugurated the event which was followed by ‘tribute to Dr.  A.P.J.Abdul Kalam’. A brief history of Nobel Prize then succeeded in and initiated the series of presentations regarding the Nobel Prize winners of 2016 in medicine, physics, chemistry, peace, economics and literature respectively. Each presentation was delivered for about 15 minutes and the entire programme was nourished by extracurricular activities including quiz time, poems and songs. The audience was rendered a short time interaction with the topics discussed so as to erase their doubts. A defense committee was well organized among the HCl members to tackle the questions posed. Feedback forms were distributed as a medium to improve the short comings of the programme and during the course of the event; the crowd was refreshed with snacks arranged by the food committee of HCL.

GRAB CSIR-‘16









A talk on how to prepare for CSIR exam was given by Dr. Sibi K S (Assistant professor, Dept. of Physics) at the department auditorium on Thursday, 10 November 2016, from 10.30 to  12.30. The talk was preceded by an innovative skit contributed by the first year PG students (Habile Cluster) the skit aimed to nourish the ideas of students and help them discover their real passion in life. The theme was focused on the philosophy that arts tied with science makes life. It posed a stage for the young physicists to explore their talents and also a self-motivation so as to appear for competitive exams and hence the skit was titled as ‘The NET’. It was followed by an enchanting talk by Dr. Sibi K S. He focused on qualitative time management as a part of preparing for competitive exams. The talk was wrapped in the fire of motivation. The programme had a wide reach out to many students from various colleges in Trivandrum. The students were allowed to put forward their feedbacks and their feedbacks marked the acceptance of the programme. It was a great team work and that too with the glory of God, became a great success.

On 21st October 2016, First year students were given an orientation program on behalf of Department of Physics on "Communication skills and its importance". The program was conducted by Mr. Vishnu Narayanan, Assistant Professor, Department of English. Students were so happy to get a know how of communication skill while facing interviews, GD etc. I thank him (even though he is a close friend of mine). 


As per direction of Vice Chancellor, Our Head of Department, Dr. G Subodh nominated myself for the Professional Development Programme of IQAC which was conducted on 8th and 9th November, 2016 at HRDC, Karyavattom. Attaching some photos of the same.

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...
