The lectures, organized every year or two by QTP in honor of Professor Per-Olov Lowdin, are used as an occasion to invite a scholar of international repute in theoretical chemistry/biochemistry to visit for a period and interact with graduate students, postdoctoral fellows and faculty of QTP. The first lecturer, Sir John Pople was the Chemistry Nobel Laureate of 1999, and he has been followed by other highly accomplished and eminent scientists.

Prof Abhay Karandikar's (Electrical Engg, also Head, Computer Center) work in Segment Protection (with Tejas Networks) has been forwarded to the New Standards Committee of IEEE and is poised to lead to the starting of a new IEEE standard namely IEEE 802.1Qbf. According to the scientific community working in the area, this signifies a major achievement and endorsement of their work. This may be the first time that a new IEEE standard is emerging out of the efforts of professionals working in India. For more details see: http://www.ee.iitb.ac.in/~karandi/ |
