DA-IICT does not have a Physics program, so teaching traditional physics courses is mostly impossible. However, undergraduate B. Tech programs in ICT, Honours in ICT with minor in Computational Science, and B. Tech in Mathematics and Computing (MnC) allows offering relevant courses that have a strong interdisciplinary flavor and at the same time introduce key concepts and applications from thermodynamics, statistical physics, and nonlinear dynamics. The elective courses that I offer typically have a project component. Over the semester, the student groups identify their project topic and subsequently use their understanding of the material discussed in the course work on the problem. Each group submits a term paper on their work and makes a short presentation. The projects are either based on working with real data or reproducing a key article in that domain. Some of the courses that I have taught recently are:
Modeling and Simulation (Core course for Computational Science and Mathematics and Computing)
Introduction to Complex Networks (Science elective)
Nonlinear Dynamics (Science elective)
Electromagnetic Theory (Core course for B Tech (ICT))
Time Series Analysis (Science elective)
Thermal and Statistical Physics (Graduate Physics-I)
