  • About Us

    We are a group of dynamic and active students of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics in School of Physical Sciences, JNU. We organize talks related to current issues in Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. These talks are pedagogical and very fundamental in nature. Journal Club provides a platform to promote lively discussion and exchange ideas among various disciplines. We meet once a week at 5:00 PM in SPS Seminar room. We act as a forum to promote interdisciplinary communication and collaboration among the students.

 Upcoming Talk :

'The Unity of Mathematics - Examples from Transcendental Number Theory '

Speaker: Prof. Michel Waldschmidt

Date: October 4 (Thursday), 2018 Time: 4:00 PM
Venue: Seminar Hall, SPS

Series of Talks: two talks at ISI Delhi on October 3 & 5 and one talk at SPS, JNU on October 4.

Abstract : In this series of three talks, the speaker will demonstrate the Unity of Mathematics by way of walking through a garden of examples from various disciplines that are related to Transcendental Number Theory. Our tour will include: Diophantine approximation, Algebraic number theory, Differential equations, Special functions, Diophantine geometry, Arakelov theory, Geometry of numbers, Complex analysis (one or several variables), Hormander Del-bar estimates, Commutative algebra, Seshadri's constant, Weil's conjecture on characters of type A and A0, l-adic representations, p-adic analysis, Topology, Arithmetic complexity of polynomials, Dynamical systems, Automata theory, Algebraic combinatorics, Logic: model theory.

A warm welcome to the modified and updated website of the Centre for East Asian Studies. The East Asian region has been at the forefront of several path-breaking changes since 1970s beginning with the redefining the development architecture with its State-led development model besides emerging as a major region in the global politics and a key hub of the sophisticated technologies. The Centre is one of the thirteen Centres of the School of International Studies, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi that provides a holistic understanding of the region.

Initially, established as a Centre for Chinese and Japanese Studies, it subsequently grew to include Korean Studies as well. At present there are eight faculty members in the Centre. Several distinguished faculty who have now retired include the late Prof. Gargi Dutt, Prof. P.A.N. Murthy, Prof. G.P. Deshpande, Dr. Nranarayan Das, Prof. R.R. Krishnan and Prof. K.V. Kesavan. Besides, Dr. Madhu Bhalla served at the Centre in Chinese Studies Programme during 1994-2006. In addition, Ms. Kamlesh Jain and Dr. M. M. Kunju served the Centre as the Documentation Officers in Chinese and Japanese Studies respectively.

The academic curriculum covers both modern and contemporary facets of East Asia as each scholar specializes in an area of his/her interest in the region. The integrated course involves two semesters of classes at the M. Phil programme and a dissertation for the M. Phil and a thesis for Ph. D programme respectively. The central objective is to impart an interdisciplinary knowledge and understanding of history, foreign policy, government and politics, society and culture and political economy of the respective areas. Students can explore new and emerging themes such as East Asian regionalism, the evolving East Asian Community, the rise of China, resurgence of Japan and the prospects for reunification of the Korean peninsula. Additionally, the Centre lays great emphasis on the building of language skills. The background of scholars includes mostly from the social science disciplines; History, Political Science, Economics, Sociology, International Relations and language.

Several students of the centre have been recipients of prestigious research fellowships awarded by Japan Foundation, Mombusho (Ministry of Education, Government of Japan), Saburo Okita Memorial Fellowship, Nippon Foundation, Korea Foundation, Nehru Memorial Fellowship, and Fellowship from the Chinese and Taiwanese Governments. Besides, students from Japan receive fellowship from the Indian Council of Cultural Relations.
