The modern method of physics pedagogy promotes "active learning", wherein students are active participants in the class instead of being passive listeners. This approach includes interactive classes, peer discussion, interactive simulations, and project -based learning.Physics Teachers Training Program (PTTP) is a program to engage with motivated teachers from across India to introduce them to modern trends in physics teaching. The program from January 9-13, 2023 will focus on discussing Quantum Mechanics at the MSc level with interactive classes and discussion.Physics Teacher Training Program (PTTP) is an extension for teachers of the highly successful Physics Training and Talent Search (PTTS) program (https://www.ptts.org.in/) for students. Over the past seven years PTTS has organised several schools for undergraduate and postgraduate students following the active learning pedagogy. This PTTP program is for motivated teachers teaching Quantum Mechanics at the MSc level. The emph...

This program will focus on several interconnected themes in modern probability theory which can broadly be brought under the umbrella of high dimensional probability. The particular themes that will be considered include (i) random matrices and random operators, (ii) geometric functional analysis and high dimensional convex geometry, (iii) point processes and interacting particle systems, and (iv) spin glasses and Gaussian free fields.There will be research talks by invited speakers. The program will also feature two mini-courses (each four one hour lectures) by Subhroshekhar Ghosh and Mark Rudelson. An Infosys-ICTS Ramanujan lecture series (five one hour lectures) will be given by Hugo Duminil-Copin and there will be a Distinguished Lecture by Ofer Zeitouni.ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non-discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.Please note that registr...

This discussion meeting aims to discuss some of the exciting recent developments in equilibrium and nonequilibrium statistical physics. This will include areas such as self-organized criticality, exactly solvable models, interfacial growth, out-of equilibrium dynamics and active matter. As a part of this discussion meeting, Prof. Deepak Dhar will deliver the Infosys-ICTS Chandrasekhar lectures. There will be a special session to felicitate Deepak Dhar who was awarded the 2022 Boltzmann medal.ICTS is committed to building an environment that is inclusive, non discriminatory and welcoming of diverse individuals. We especially encourage the participation of women and other under-represented groups.Eligibility Criteria: Faculty, Postdoctoral fellows and PhD students working in related areas.

The programme will have an emphasis on the many recent exciting breakthroughs in the ergodic theory of group actions on homogeneous spaces. This subject, which also goes by the name "homogeneous dynamics" has seen dramatic advances in the last few decades. Homogeneous dynamics comprises the study of group actions on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups. The dynamics of these actions are extremely rich and have surprising connections to diverse parts of mathematics. An early example of such a connection is Margulis's proof of the long standing conjecture of Oppenheim regarding values taken by quadratic forms at integer points. The programme will feature mini courses as well as research level talks exploring recent advances in homogeneous dynamics and their connections to number theory and geometry. India has a strong tradition in this area and the programme will provide an occasion to celebrate the fundamental contributions of S. G. Dani, a pioneer in the subject who turns 75 this year. You...
The Winter School on Quantitative System Biology has been held every year since 2012 at ICTP in Trieste, Italy and ICTS in Bangalore, India in alternating years.The topic of the 2022 School is Machine Learning in Biology.Machine Learning is increasingly being used in biology, as also in other physical and life sciences, to build predictive models of underlying processes.This school will combine the knowledge of biologists who work with large and heterogeneous data, of physicists who are experts at modelling such complexity, and of machine learning experts who bring in state-of-the-art methods in statistics. This integrated approach is essential to learn how to tackle these issues and gain a better understanding of key phenomena in biology.Directors:V. Balasubramanian, University of Pennsylvania, USAP.
