Data assimilation (DA) is a powerful and versatile method for combining observational data of a system with its dynamical model to generate state estimates. These techniques are essential for numerical weather and climate predictions, but aplications of DA to many other scientific and engineering disciplines are emerging rapidly. DA is inherently interdisciplinary in nature and requires close collaborations and interactions between researchers inatmospheric sciences, in nonlinear dynamics and complex systems, and in applied mathematics and statistics.The Data Assimilation Research Program (DARP) is primarily aimed at developing an interest within the academic and scientific community in pure and applied research related to DA, in order to form a group of researchers, developers, and users of data assimilation systems.The initial set of activities will consist of a "Monsoon School on Mathematical and Statistical Foundations of Data Assimilation" along with an "International Conference o...

One of the most exciting developments in recent years has been the appreciation of the role of topology in quantum condensed matter, which provides fundamental insight into measurable quantities that are insensitive to details. This summer school will consist of mini-courses on the concepts in mathematical topology, quantum Hall effect, topological insulators and topological quantum computation. The lecturers will be world renowned scientists involved in forefront research in these areas.The school is aimed at students who are interested in pursuing research in physics. These could include first or second year MSc students in physics or mathematics, beginning Ph.D. students in physics, or BE/B-Tech students in various branches of engineering who wish to pursue physics. It will be expected that the students have been exposed to elementary quantum mechanics, but we will make a serious attempt to keep the course as self contained as possible by including a substantial amount of preparator...
