Speakers
Prof.Ajit Kembhavi -Emeritus Professor at IUCAA, Pune
Prof. Kembhavi's interests are in normal and active galaxies, quasars, pulsars and so on. He is presently working on the morphology of galaxies using ground-based and space data at optical and near-infrared wavelengths, with special attention to lenticulars and luminous compact galaxies. Prof. Kembhavi also works on warm absorbers in active galaxies. He is the PI of the Virtual Observatory - India project, through which he and his collaborators develop applications for virtual observatories.
