Beginning Astronomy v3:Start a Data-driven Journey
About the Workshop: Modern-day telescopes produce petabytes of data, and this presents students with the opportunity to analyse such publicly available astronomical data sets. This workshop is aimed at providing early bachelor's/late master's students with basic knowledge of physics, mathematics, and computation with a hands-on introduction to astronomy using such datasets. This 3-day workshop will cover some of the basic concepts of stellar, galactic and extragalactic physics through short lectures and hands-on computational sessions with some of the publicly available astronomical datasets.

Research
The astrophysics and Cosmology group is involved in research at all length scales from the Solar System to cosmological distances. The main focus areas include solar corona and wind, black holes, micro-quasars, active galactic nuclei, pulsars, gamma-ray bursts, space plasmas, dark matter and dark energy, galaxy clusters and groups, Cosmic Microwave Background.
VisitOur group works on exploring the new frontiers of condensed matter physics including topological phase of matter, magnetic properties, superconductivity and energy harvesting materials within the framework of Density Functional Theory (DFT).
VisitAt the High Energy Physics group we are concerned with some of the fundamental mysteries about origins of matter, energy and space-time. Key research areas include Quantum Field Theory, Particle Phenomenology, Astroparticle Physics, Physics Beyond Standard Model, String Theory/Quantum Gravity.
VisitThe research involves interaction of light with atoms, molecules, clusters, nanosystems and plasmas. Theory and experiment live in harmony and generate harmonics in the lab for spectroscopic studies.
