Dr Chirag Dhara, Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies, SIAS delivered a talk titled ‘What is a developed country?’, in Professor Julia Steinberger’s group at the University of Lausanne, Switzerland, on 18 September 2025.
Dr Dhanya Radhakrishnan, Lab Manager, Physics and Chemistry Labs and Dr Venkata Srinu Bhadram, Assistant Professor of Physics, SIAS have published a collaborative paper titled High-pressure structural stability of compositionally complex pyrochlore oxides in Journal of Applied Physics. It’s a collaborative work involving researchers at IIT Madras, Elettra (Italy), and Vinca Institute of Nuclear Sciences (Serbia). In this work, the researchers complex oxide ceramics remain structurally stable under extreme pressures of up to 20 gigapascals. This remarkable stability makes it promising for applications in harsh environments, such as nuclear waste immobilization, high-performance fuel cells, and heat-resistant coatings.
An essay by Dr Srajana Kaikini, Assistant Professor, Philosophy, titled Sub-cultures as Spaces for Social Change has been published in Sub:version Issue 02 (2025), Special Issue on Subcultures.
Dr Vivek Tewary, Assistant Professor, Mathematics, SIAS, presented a talk on ‘Regularity Theory for Nonlocal p-Laplace Equations’, at the GANIT symposium on ‘Stochastic Processes and Related Topics 2025’, at IIT Gandhinagar from 13-15 September 2025.
About the talk: Brownian motion is related to the Laplace operator as jump Levy processes are related to the nonlocal Laplace operator. Similarly, the p-Laplace operator has a probabilistic interpretation in a tug-of-war game with noise and the nonlocal p-Laplace operator comes from a nonlocal version of this tug-of-war game. A recent turn is to study these operators using non-probabilistic methods. While the probabilistic interpretations are linked to non-divergence type operators, in this talk, they focussed on one of their divergence type counterparts. In particular, they discuss the local boundedness and local Holder regularity of solutions of the parabolic divergence type nonlocal p-Laplace equation.
About the workshop: The aim of this meet is to bring together researchers in the country working on stochastic processes and related areas (such as partial differential equations, dynamical systems) for a series of stimulating lectures and discussions. It is hoped that this can be the first meet in an annual tradition and provide a forum for explorations of new ideas and forging of new collaborations.
A poem titled Passing Time by Dr Anannya Dasgupta, Director, Krea-CWP and Associate Professor, Literature and Arts, SIAS has been published in The Economic and Political Weekly.
Dr Chirag Dhara, Assistant Professor, Environmental Studies, SIAS recently delivered two talks. ’Reconceptualizing sustainable development’ at the International Conference on Sustainable Development in Rome on 10 September 2025 and ‘A new development classification for the 21st century’ at the European Commission’s Joint Research Centre in Ispra, Italy on 15 September 2025.
Dr Sambaiah Gundimeda, Associate Professor, Politics, SIAS has penned an article in The Hindu’s Frontline titled Andhra Pradesh’s opposition row tests the spirit of democracy.
The article discusses how ruling TDP’s refusal to grant LoP status to Jagan Reddy follows the rulebook but drains dissent of dignity and weakens India’s democratic balance.
