Ep. 71 : Conversation with Sunil Nair - Thoughts of an Experimental Condensed Matter Physicist| IISER Pune
Sunil Nair is a condensed matter experimentalist and a Professor of Physics at IISER Pune https://www.iiserpune.ac.in/research/department/physics/people/faculty/regular-faculty/sunil-nair/307
He and his research group explore various topics, including Multiferroics | Transition metal oxides | Unconventional superconductors | Low temperature instrumentation | Non-linear magnetic susceptibility | Spin Caloritronics.
In this episode, we discussed:
· His intellectual journey
· Growing up in Pune
· Student days at Pune University
· His experience of working in Indore, Dresden and Oxford
· Jugalbandi of experiments and theory
· Elements of a good talk and good writing
· Big science from small labs
· Quantum ihub at IISER Pune
· New development in spintronics, including superfluid state
· Many related topics
Listen as we humanize science.
