Ep. 61 : Conversation with Sreejith G.J. - Mechanical Engineer to Quantum Condensed Matter Physicist
2 jul· Pratidhvani - Humanizing Science
Sreejith G J is a condensed matter theorist and an associateprofessor at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune.http://sites.iiserpune.ac.in/~sreejith/index.html
He is interested in strongly correlated quantum physics, including fractional quantum Hall effects and some spin systems.
Interestingly, he started as a mechanical engineer and thenmoved to study the general theory of relativity and eventually became acondensed matter physicist. How did his interest evolve, and how did he becomea physicist?
We address this and other interesting aspects of his careerin this "emergence series".
