Name of the Department : International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS) 2. Year of establishment : 2007 3. Is the Department part of a School/Faculty of the university? It is a TIFR Centre. 4. Names of programmes offered (UG, PG, M.Phil., Ph.D., Integrated Masters; Integrated Ph.D., D.Sc., D.Litt., etc.) 1. Ph.D. 2. Integrated M.Sc.-Ph.D. Students may avail of an M.Phil. degree as an early exit option provided they have finished a specified set of requirements. However, there is no separate M.Phil. programme. 5. Interdisciplinary programmes and departments involved There is a joint programme between ICTS and NCBS which involves active interaction between faculty members working in the areas of the interface between Physics and Biology. The programme also involves the participation of graduate students and postdocs and setting up of an experimental lab at ICTS. This programme is at an initial stage. 6. Courses in collaboration with other universities, industries, foreign institutions, etc. ICTS currently has a small faculty strength (16). In view of this we have an MOU with IISc Physics department, whereby students of ICTS can take courses offered at IISc. Faculty members at ICTS also participate in teaching courses at IISc.

The details have been provided within the report. ICTS was awarded in 2015 the prestigious ‘Targeted Grants to Institutes’ from the Simons Foundation, USA. The AIRBUS Corporate Foundation grant for an international teaching and research chair entitled ‘Mathematics of Complex Systems’, which ICTS shares with the Centre for Applicable Mathematics, underwent a successful annual review and continues. Both these grants lend enormous encouragement to a fledgling Centre and enhance the ability of ICTS to conduct programs, invite outstanding post- docs and long term visiting professors. The new ICTS Campus has started functioning. The campus is equipped with a modern library that will provide access to books and electronic resources on advanced topics; state-of-the-art computing and networking infrastructure; a data centre with high-speed connectivity and extensive storage facility for doing big-data sciences; conference and lecture halls equipped with high-end audio-video equipment for recording and broadcasting ICTS programs; healthcare, childcare and recreational facilities for members and visitors.

  • 2016 Academic Program Review of Graduate Programs
    2016 Academic Program Review of Graduate Programs for The Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering April 11-12, 2016 College Station, Texas Word of Welcome from Miroslav Begovic, ECE Department Head and Jose Silva-Martinez, ECE Director of Graduate Studies As Department Head and Director of Graduate Studies for the Texas A&M Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, we extend a heartfelt welcome to Texas A&M University on behalf of our colleagues and our students. We thank you for your service as external reviewers of our Electrical and Computer Engineering (ECE) graduate programs. We are pleased to have been able to prepare for this opportunity by conducting our own assessment of these programs while looking for opportunities to continually improve. We realize that a strong and highly reputed graduate program is essential to maintaining an excellent department and improving our academic recognition. As we strive to further improve our graduate program, the peer assessment process becomes increasingly important. We are grateful for your review as a means of helping us improve our programs. The self study that follows was prepared for this review and reflects an evaluation of the graduate programs within the ECE department. It includes a brief history of the department and overview. We also briefed the recommendations of the 2008 review panel and the actions taken by our department during th last few years. We are also presenting details on the research and education activities of the graduate programs, plans for continual assessment and improvement, and a strategic vision for the future. We look forward to your input and eagerly await your recommendations about how we might further improve our programs as we strive for greater excellence.
