9th and 10th August,2024
THANK YOU EVERYONE FOR MAKING THIS YEARS EVENT A SUCCESS
CMMSSP'24 is an annual scientific conference on Condensed Matter, Materials Science, and Statistical Physics organized by the Department of Physics, Presidency University, Kolkata, India. It serves as a platform for discussions on emerging research topics like Complex Systems, Active Matter, Non-linear Dynamics, Biological Systems, and other interdisciplinary subjects. Experienced and budding scientists convene to exchange ideas, fostering advancements in the field.
The fourth edition will be held on August 9th and 10th, 2024 , at the Presidency University, Kolkata, College Street Campus.
Presidency University, established in 1817 and formerly known as Hindu College and Presidency College, stands as one of the oldest institutions in India and Asia. Elevated to university status in 2010, its rich history encompasses a legacy of academic excellence and innovation.
The institution's journey began on January 20th, 1817, with an inaugural class of 20 scholars under the leadership of Raja Rammohan Ray.
In the late 19th century, the Physics department emerged as a hub of pioneering research. Professor Jagadis Chandra Bose conducted groundbreaking experiments in generating and receiving microwaves, laying the groundwork for technologies widely used today.
In 1913, under Professor J.C. Bose's leadership, the Physics department relocated to its current home, the Baker Laboratory, housing the majestic Peake Library of Science on its upper floor. Notable figures of this era, such as Satyendra Nath Bose, Meghnad Saha, Prasanta Chandra Mahalanobis, and Sisir Kumar Mitra, attained international recognition for their contributions to atomic and statistical physics.
In the latter half of the 20th century, the department continued to shine with Amal Kumar Raychaudhuri's seminal work on General Relativity, drawing global attention. This era saw the emergence of outstanding physicists like Bikash Sinha, Ashoke Sen, and Sabyasachi Bhattacharya, further cementing the department's reputation as a breeding ground for top-tier talent.
I hope you enjoyed the conference this year! The photos are now available on our website.
