The Space Quiz, conducted on 14 August 2026, had 15 teams of two and included questions related to space science and exploration. The Story Writing Competition, also held on the same day, was based on the topic “Alien Among Us” and gave students an opportunity to combine science with imagination.

The Astrophotography Contest invited students to capture the Perseid meteor shower, while the Lunar Reel Contest encouraged them to create short reels on the theme “Moon”. A Digital Poster Making Competition was also organised on the topic “The Future of Space Exploration.” These competitions were conducted from 8–14 August 2026.

The programmes received strong student participation and provided an opportunity to learn about and think about space science in a different, creative way.

The department thanks all the students who participated and helped make the National Space Day 2026 celebrations a success. 🚀🌙

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...
