The month of September


Three Programs were scheduled this month. The first being the Screening of Kottayam district participants for the Smart Presentation on Industrial Revolution 4.0. The program was conducted at DD office as per the direction of Kerala State Government on 11.09.2018. I was appointed as Judge to the screening of students by the DD Office Coordinator and I am thankful for his offer. Few words about the topic “Industrial Revolution 4.0, Are we ready?”. The topic is the core discussion carried all around the nation for visualizing the idea of Digital India where students debate about how equipped we are towards bringing this dream true for our country.  Every revolution had made much impact on our daily lives. The steam engine, Electricity, Computer and Internet have changed the whole and we are now looking towards the next generation revolution-To connect the world through Nanotechnology, Bioinformatics, Artificial Intelligence and Robotics. Professor Klaus Schwab, Founder and executive chairman of World Economic Forum says that this revolution will be particularly different from the previous three Revolution which were mainly characterized by advancement in technology. In fourth revolution we are facing a combination of range of new technologies that combine the physical, digital and biological worlds. If governments, organizations fail to properly regulate this revolution then it has grave potential risks. It is well-accepted fact that no government is still capable of handling this properly, but as a first step, the awareness is to be created so that we could make our baby steps towards its regulation. There were around 25 participants and the jury members selected three students for State Level Presentation. Attaching Photos of the same.








The Second and third Programs were in Trivandrum. On 18.09.2018 2:00pm, Delivered an Invited Talk on the topic “Keep Cool, Carry on Montreal Protocol” at Kerala University B Ed Centre, Kariavattom. I also evaluated the posters displayed. See some Posters…











Last but not least, the invited talk at M G College, Kesavadasapuram on topic “Issues of Ozone Layer protection: Awareness and Preservation” at 10:00 am on 19.09.2018. 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...
