Courses

Here is a sneak preview of the courses I am teaching or have taught in the past at BITS. 
 

1.HSS F222: Introduction to Linguistics:

Difficulty level: Moderate.
Monica's father is from Portugal, and mother is from Germany. Monica was born and brought up in Hyderabad and goes to schools in Hyderabad. Which language do you think Monica would speak, namely Portuguese, German, Telugu, English or Hindi? People of Pandu tribe are called Pandav. People of Raghu tribe are called Raghav. What would you call the people of Yadu tribe? How did you figure out the answer? Someone asks Monica, "What's the time?". Monica say, "Time is the temporal continuum of space". Everyone laughs around her. Why? If these and similar questions excite you, and you are looking for erudite answers to these questions, then this course is for you!

2.HSS F228: Phonetics and Spoken English

Difficulty level: Easy-Moderate.
"Haeo di ya do mayt!" Didn't understand? What if I told you that the statement was made by an Australian person? Still not? What if I told you that he was saying, "How do you do mate". I bet you are able to read the statement in perfect Australian accent now! Does that excite you? Have you struggled to understand what the bloke reading the news on BBC is saying? Are you fascinated by the way Shashi Tharoor and Karan Thapar speak? Do you love the way African American rappers put emphasisssssssss on every word while rapping? Does an argument in commentary box of a world cup cricket match between an Australian, south African and Indian commentator excite you because of all the lovely ways they speak the same language, English? Do you love accents, and want to learn more about how people speak, specially the English language? Then this course is for you. 

 

3.BITS F112: Technical Report Writing

Difficulty level: Easy-Moderate.
Report Writing is the fact of life. It is a necessary evil. But while you may not enjoy writing reports, it does not have to be your weakness as well. In this course we learn various aspects of writing reports, e.g. dividing a manuscript into sections, planning each section, writing in a formal writing style, reporting data, providing citations, etc. But we begin with learning the things you might take for granted, like how to write formal emails, how to critically read things, and how to take down notes.  
 

4.BITS E661: Research Methodology (for PhD candidates)

Difficulty level: Easy-Moderate.
Conducting research is a multiple-task enterprise. It requires planning, running the experiments, observing the data, writing the report and publishing. In this course, we take a look at some of these aspects and learn some practical tips that will ease your process of conducting and reporting the research. It is a general course, it is suitable for researchers from all fields. 
 

5.PHIL C221 / HSS F236: Symbolic Logic

Difficulty level: Difficult.
Language is versatile but ambiguous. If I tell you, "I saw an elephant with a telescope". What do you understand? Did I have the telescope or the elephant? What if instead of speaking in English language, I expressed it as saw[I, elephant{with(telescope)}] or saw[I{with(telescope)}, elephant]. Now does it become clearer? Mathematical notations provide the power to express things elegantly and without ambiguity. In this course, we learn the formalism of symbols as applied to doing logic. Naturally, on the way, we learn the basics of logic as well.
 

6.HSS F242: Introduction to Phonology

Difficulty level: Moderate-difficult.
Have you ever realized what the difference is between /p/ sound and /b/ sound? They are both produced with the same speech organs, i.e. lips. They are both produced in the same manner, i.e. block the air and then release it. So they are similar. You do not confuse the word 'pack' with the word 'back'. So these sounds may be similar but they not the same. So where is the difference? Every wondered why Japanese words always have a consonant followed by vowel followed by a consonant, then a vowel, and so on (Think of Yamaha, Miyazaki, Nipono, Sushi, Takahashi, Watanabe, Nakamura, Suzuki)? You learn in this course, the idiosyncracies of language, and how what seems like idiosyncracies on the surface, are really rule bound in the deep. Unlike Phonetics and Linguistics, this is a technical course.

Teaching activity

I have been teaching two specialized courses which were designed by me and introduced from second semester of 2020-21.

These courses are: PHY F346 : Laser Science and Technology. This course is open to all Physics and Engineering students.

The second course is PHY F433 : Topics in Nonlinear Optics. This is an elective for Physics students only who have earlier taken the Optics course. This course started a year after the earlier course.

Apart from these two courses, I have been involved in teaching the three  physics student labs viz. 1) Electromagnetics and Optics Laboratory, 2) Modern Physics Laboratory and 3) Advanced Physics Laboratory. I have also modified and updated the laboratory manuals of all experiments in the First year Physics Lab, EMO lab, Modern Physics Lab and Advanced Physics Lab, and a few experiments have been replaced by new experiments.

Courses

I have taught a variety of courses on campus since October 2005.  They are listed below:

PHY F110 Physics Laboratory:

This introductory physics laboratory introduces the art of experimentation in Physics through various experiments in Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves.

PHY F111: Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves

All students of BITS Pilani study this course irrespective of their program of study.  This course is an elementary introduction to the theory and applications in the subject area of  Mechanics, Oscillations and Waves.

PHY F211: Classical Mechanics

This course introduces the Lagrangian and Hamiltonian mechanics of a system with finite degrees of freedom.  Three classes of applications that are included in the course of study are:

  • Two-body central force problem
  • Rigid body kinematics and dynamics
  • Theory of small oscillations

PHY F212: Electromagnetic Theory I

This course introduces the student to the unified theory of Electricity, Magnetism and Light. The course is roughly divided into three parts, each of which addresses the following questions:

  • Part I:  What is the nature of the electric field produced by a static charge distribution? How do you quantitatively describe it? How does the static electric field influence any material medium? How do you characterize the material response to this static electric field?
  • Part II: What is the nature of the magnetic field produced by a steady and time-independent current? How do you quantitatively describe it? How do we characterize the response of a material to such a static magnetic field?
  • Part III: What is the experimental basis for unifying the theory of electricity, magnetism and light? How does this lead to Maxwell's equations? How do we understand the existence of light as a standalone system in itself? How do we characterize its properties?

PHY F241: Electromagnetic Theory II

The theory of interacting charged particles and electromagnetic fields is analyzed in detail.

  • Part I: What is a boundary value problem? Why should we study boundary value problems? How do you go about solving them?
  • Part II: Why do we introduce the concept of scalar and vector potential? What is the form of Maxwell's equations in terms of scalar and vector potential? How can the non-uniqueness of potentials be leveraged to simply the construction of solutions to Maxwell's equations?
  • Part III: What are the key features of unbounded propagation of electromagnetic waves in vacuum, lossless and lossy linear dielectrics and conductors? How do properties of propagating electromagnetic waves change as they traverse media with distinct dielectric, magnetic and conducting properties? What are the key features of bounded propagation of electromagnetic waves through transmission lines and waveguides?
  • Part IV:  What are the characteristics of electromagnetic radiation produced by a given time-varying conserved charge and current distribution? How does the approximate description of the charge and current density through electric and magnetic multipoles lead to a systematic understanding of the produced electric and magnetic field at near, intermediate and far distances from the source?
  • Part V: What is the special theory of relativity? How do we see that the free electromagnetic field is a relativistic system?

 

Mathematical Methods of Physics

I have taught this course twice before under the pre-2012 curriculum framework. The first part discussed a variety of partial differential equations while the second part was devoted to basic elements of group theory and its representations.

PHY F244: Modern Physics Laboratory

A laboratory course consisting of exciting experiments from Modern Physics.

PHY F342: Atomic & Molecular Physics

  •  Metrology & Phenomenology: How do we qualitatively set up the order of magnitude of various physical quantities associated with the world of atoms, molecules and light? Experiments provide a wealth of spectral data (frequencies emitted and absorbed) on atoms and molecules. How do we construct models based on known theoretical frameworks to explain existing experimental data and arrive at new predictions? (This is the practice of phenomenology in Physics)
  • Preliminaries: What are the key elements in constructing quantum models of atomic and molecular systems? What approximation methods are available at our disposal?
  • Hydrogenic Systems: The simplest atomic system is the hydrogen atom. Systems similar to hydrogen are called hydrogenic systems. Experimentalists have provided an extremely detailed record of the spectrum of this light atom. How do we set up a quantum model to explain all aspects of its spectrum? How do we explain the influence of external fields on the spectral lines of hydrogenic systems?
  • Many-electron atoms: A first-principles prediction of atomic structure involves computing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of an N-electron atom problem. This is a challenging problem which has no exact solution. How do we systematically develop approximate solutions to this problem?
  • Atomic spectroscopy: Atoms emit, absorb and scatter light. The frequencies (and wavelengths) of and the extent to which light is emitted, absorbed and scattered by atoms are measured by experimentalists using various methods. This is called spectroscopy. How do we develop a theoretical model of atom-light interaction which can be used to predict the spectroscopic results?
  • Molecular Structure: Molecules are formed by the bonding of atoms. How do we set up a quantum-mechanical theory of chemical bonding and use it to predict the existence of molecules and their properties?
  • Molecular Spectroscopy: How do we understand the emergence of rotational, vibrational and electronic spectra of molecules?

Courses I am teaching or have taught

Teaching is the bit in my professional life that I enjoy most. From teaching the first year physics and mathematics courses to wide eyed freshers to teaching advanced physics courses to the die hard physics enthusiast, I relish the challenge of presenting ideas and concepts in physics with as much transparency as is possible.

Semester I, 2024-25

Special Topics in Statistical Mechanics (PHY F423)                                                                                                                                                                    Advanced course in statistical mechanics that covers interacting systems, mean field theory, phase transitions and renormalization group. (Text books: Statistical Mechanics by Kerson Huang, Equilibrium Statistical Mechanics by M. Plischke and B. Bergersen and Principles of Condensed Matter Physics by P. M. Chaikin and T.C. Lubensky.)

Statistical Physics and Applications (PHY F516)                                                                                                                                                                                      A course in equilibrium statistical mechanics for PhD students.  (Text books: Statistical Physics of Particles by M Kardar)

Semester II, 2023-24

Mechanics Oscillations and Waves (PHY F111)                                                                                                                                                                                  The bread and butter course of our department, where we engage the freshers with intermediate mechanics and related topics of waves and oscillations. After a quick revision of fundamental laws and necessary mathematical introduction, advanced topics such as rigid body motion, non-inertial frames, coupled oscillators and Fourier analysis of waves are discussed. (Text book: An Introduction Mechanics by Kleppner and Kolenkow, Introduction to Waves by A P French.)

Theoretical Neuroscience (BITS F317)                                                                                                                                                                                                      A first course in Theoretical Neuroscience that introduces neuronal behavior modelling using non-linear differential equations as well the concepts of encoding and decoding of neural data. (Text books: Introduction to neuronal dynamics by Gerstner et al, Introduction to Theoretical Neuroscience by Dayan and Abbott)

 

Some of the course taught over the semesters

Physics Lab - 1 (PHY F110)

General Theory of Relativity & Cosmology (PHY F415)
 
Course description

This course aims to introduce the basic concepts of  General Theory of Relativity and it's application in Cosmology i.e. to know the behavior of the universe at large scale. After reviewing basic concepts of special relativity (in 4 vector formalism), the notion of tensor, covariant derivative, geodesics, curvature tensor, Ricci tensor, Ricci scalar, Einstein tensor and hence the Einstein  equations will be derived. The Schwarzschild black hole solution of the Einstein equation will be discussed, which will be followed by Physics near the massive objects. The FRW cosmology will be discussed at a length and finally inflationary cosmology will be introduced in brief.

Student Interaction

Courses:

Most of these courses have been conducted multiple times over the past nine years. The primary objective is to engage learners and facilitate them to find their motivation in each course in a practical, real world based and personalized manner. The courses should add some significant meaning to the learners in terms of skills and comprehension of the workings of the world (both experimental and cerebral are of equal importance, learn by doing is the motto). The learners are encouraged to integrate science and engineering, academic and real world and experimental and simulation techniques.

Verilog HDL with Quartus and Modelsim

In this playlist we go through the fundamentals of Verilog HDL and modelling of basic digital circuit elements using Verilog. The fundamental takeaway is although Verilog syntax looks like other programming languages (such as C) and it is a Turing complete language, it is more of a hardware description language. HDLs were initially introduced more as a way for efficient documentation and simulation and was later adopted for synthesis also. As a hardware designer, the structure and operation of the circuit should be in your mind and you are describing it in Verilog. It is then up to the EDA tools to interpret your description and implement using a target technology (such as FPGA). The main challenge here is to properly and efficiently describe the hardware. For demonstration, we use Modelsim simulator and Intel Quartus but the concept and code can be used with any HDL EDA tools.

Reconfigurable Embedded Systems with Xilinx Zynq APSoC

This playlist provides sample applications implemented on Xilinx Zynq APSoC platform through Xilinx Vivado design suite. Most of the examples follow hardware-software codesign approach and is the base for my hardware-software co-design course. Viewers are expected to be conversant with Verilog HDL and C programming language to follow the contents.

LPC2378 Embedded C Programming with Keil

This playlist contains sample embedded programming for LPC2378 microcontroller. These videos are recorded as part of the Embedded Systems Design Course offered at BITS Pilani, Goa (EEE G512). 

Internet of Things (IoT) with Amazon AWS

This playlist introduces Amazon AWS IoT core platform. Since the videos were created a few years back, some of the steps might have changed in the latest AWS platform.
