KVPY Vjyoshi Booklet 2015 18 – 20 December 2015 The aim of the annual National Science (Vijyoshi) Camps is to provide a forum for interactions between bright young students and leading researchers in various branches of science and mathematics. With boundaries between disciplines fast disappearing, these camps serve as an ideal platform for the young participants to get an exciting global viewpoint of questions relating to basic sciences as well as application oriented themes. As in the previous meetings, a comprehensive programme 2015 has been designed for the participants. This includes thought provoking lectures followed by a round of discussion at the end of each day's programme. Apart from all these the previous meetings have ultimately served to motivate and inspire the participants by bringing them together, in what is hoped will be their first step towards a career in research in the basic sciences and mathematics.

She earned her B.S. from MIT and her Ph.D. from the University of California, Berkeley. She has made major contributions to understanding electronically non- adiabatic reaction dynamics and to developing methodology to probe the dynamics of chemical reactions that proceed through radical intermediates, particularly for key reactions in atmospheric and combustion chemistry. A fellow of the AAAS and the American Chemical Society, dozens of her Ph.D. students and undergraduate researchers have gone on to be chemistry faculty and researchers in industry and national laboratories. She Laurie J Butler co-authors the 8th edition of the seminal textbook Principles of Modern Chemistry. Probal Chaudhuri is a Professor at Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata. He was an undergraduate and a postgraduate student in the same institute. Later he went to University of California at Berkeley and obtained a PhD degree in statistics there. He has made contributions in diverse areas of theoretical and applied statistics. His works on quantiles in finite and infinite dimensional spaces and the multi-scale approach in statistical smoothing are extensively cited in the literature. He is a fellow of all three national science academies in India and the Institute of Mathematical Statistics in the US. He is also a recipient of the C.R. Rao National Award in Statistics, the B.M. Birla Probal Chaudhuri Science Award in Mathematics and the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Mathematical Sciences. Jainendra Jain (जैनेन्द्रजैन) is a theoretical physicist interested in unexpected quantum mechanical reorganizations that occur when a large number of particle sinteract. He is best known for his theory of the fractional quantum Hall effect, for which he predicted exotic topological particles called “composite fermions,” which have been observed experimentally and produce a host of interesting phenomena. He is currently Evan Pugh University Professor and Erwin W. Mueller professor in the Pennsylvania State University, and holds Infosys Visiting Jainendra K Jain Chair Professorship at IISc Bengaluru. 5 Professor Simmons is an ARC Laureate Fellow & Director of the highly successful ARC Centre of Excellence for Quantum Computation and Communication Technology. She has pioneered unique technologies internationally to build electronic devices in silicon at the atomic scale, including the world's smallest transistor, the narrowest conducting wires and the first transistor where a single atom controls its operation. This work opens up the prospect of developing a silicon-based quantum computer: a powerful new form of computing with the potential to transform information processing. Professor Simmons is one of a hand full of researchers in Australia to have twice received a Federation Fellowship and now a Laureate Fellowship, the Australian Research Council's most prestigious award of this kind. Following her PhD in solar cells at the University of Durham in the UK in 1992 she became a Research Fellow at the Michelle Y Simmons Cavendish Laboratory in Cambridge, UK, working with Professor Sir Michael Pepper FRS in quantum electronics. In 1999, she was awarded a QEII Fellowship and came to Australia. She has won both the Pawsey Medal (2006) and Lyle Medal (2015) from the Australian Academy of Science and was, upon her appointment, one of the youngest fellows of this Academy. She was named Scientist of the Year by the New South Wales Government in 2012 and in 2014 was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences. She has recently become Editor-in-Chief of Nature Quantum Information and was just awarded the CSIRO Eureka Prize for Leadership in Science. Srinivasan Chandrasekaran is an Honorary Professor and SERB Distinguished Fellow at the Department of Organic Chemistry, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru. He was a research associate at Harvard University (USA) with Prof. E.J. Corey, and at Syntex Research (Palo Alto, USA). He has published over 250 research papers in national and international journals and served as an elected member of the Bureau of IUPAC and Member of the Executive S Chandrasekaran Committee of IUPAC. He is the Chairman of the National Organic Symposium Trust (NOST), India and was the President of the Chemical Research Society of India (CRSI) from 2012 to 2014. He was the editor-in-chief of Tetrahedron Letters published by Elsevier (2007-14) and is currently on the Board of Consulting Editors. His major research interests lie in the areas of development of new synthetic methodologies for organic synthesis, organometallic chemistry, total synthesis of natural products, homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis, and organic materials. Parameswaran Sankaran is a Professor of Mathematics at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. He received his Ph.D from the University of Calgary, Canada.

R T S KK S in ha, R Krishna n, V R a maswa m y I am delighted to present the report: 'Successes and Gaps in Indian Metallurgical R & D Efforts”. It is known that in spite of our excellent accomplishments in metallurgy, in terms of wootz Steel, bronze icons, gold and silver ornaments, famous zari works of ancient India, zinc smelting and refining, rustless iron pillar, etc ; the country was importing most of metallurgical products needed for infrastructure such as railways and thermal power plants, at the time of independence. India has progressed, in a significant way from 1947. We are the fourth largest producer of steel in the world and are able to produce the steels and alloys needed for our strategic and other demanding programmes. It is also true that increasing quantity of finished metallurgical machineries and components are still being imported .Our capacity to export finished components rather than the ores without any value addition needs to be enhanced multifold. Thus there are gaps, challenges and opportunities. Indian National Academy of Engineering entrusted the task of chronicling the developments and do the critical analysis to three experienced fellow metallurgists. Shri K K Sinha, Dr. R.
