Scientist of the Week#2
C . V . RAMAN
Chandrasekhara Venkata Raman was born at Tiruchirapalli in
TamilNadu on 7 November 1888. His father was a lecturer in mathematics and
physics so from the very beginning he was immersed in an academic
atmosphere. Raman’s academic brilliance was established at a very
youngage. He finished his secondary school education at the tender age of
thirteen and entered the Mrs. A.V.N. College at Vishakapatnam, Andhra Pradesh.
Two years later he moved to the prestigious Presidency College in Chennai.
When he was fifteen, he topped his class to receive his B.A.
degree with honours in Physics and English. Raman continued his studies at
the Presidency College and when he was barely eighteen, graduated at the
top of his class and received his M.A. degree with honours.
Raman joined the Indian Audit and Accounts Service and was
appointed the Assistant Accountant General in the Finance Department in Kolkata.
In Kolkata, he sustained his interest in science by working in the laboratory of
the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, in his spare time studying
the physics of stringed instruments and Indian drums.
In 1917, Raman gave up his government job to become the Sir Taraknath Palit Professor of Physics at the Science College of University of Calcutta (1917-33). He made enormous contributions to research in the areas of vibration, sound, musical instruments, ultrasonics, diffraction, photoelectricity, colloidal particles, X-ray diffraction, magnetron, dielectrics, etc. In particular, his work on the scattering of light during this period brought him world-wide recognition.
In 1924 he was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of London and a year
after was honoured with the prestigious Hughes medal from the Royal Society. Four years later, at the joint meeting of the South Indian Science Association and the Science Club of Central College, Bangalore, he announced his discovery of what is now known as the Raman Effect.
He was knighted in 1929, and in 1930, became the first Asian
scientist to be awarded the Nobel Prize for Physics for his discoveries relating
to the scattering of light (the Raman Effect). In 1934, he became the Director of the newly established Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore, where he remained
till his retirement. After retirement, he established the Raman Research Institute
at Bangalore, where he served as the Director. The Government of India conferred upon him its highest award,the Bharat Ratna in 1954.

Final year dissertation or project @ NIO, Goa
Every year National institute of Oceanography conducts final year dissertation or project for students of B.Tech, M.Tech, M.Sc, B.Sc etc.
Research Areas:
A wide range of research areas are being conducted in this institute, please refer individual projects to find out the scientists and departments
Date of Application:
Applications for dissertation program can be sent any-time of the year, but period of dissertation should not cover any part of 1 May to 31 July (since this time is allotted for Summer training students)
Accommodation,Cost,Stipend:
No stipend provided for carrying out project training at NIO.Accommodation provided at a very nominal cost(say 15 to 20 rs per day).The cost of stay will be very cheap when compared to a Tourist who visits GOA
Selection procedure:
Dissertation programs are meant for the students to acquaint themselves with the oceanographic studies and research methods in any branch of oceanography (note that oceanography is a multidisciplinary subject). To apply for these programmes, follow the procedure given below:
1. Interested student should visits project and other pages and acquaint with the work being carried out at this institute. Establish a contact with suitable scientist/s with expression of interest in working for a short project/training under his/her guidance (the links to concerned scientists' biodata are available from their project pages), and obtain consent of the scientist in any written form (e-mail, post, fax).
2. The HoD/ Dean / Principal / Placement officer of the student’s institution should send a request letter addressed to Director, NIO, indicating student's interest in a specific branch of oceanography along with (i) brief CV of the student, and (ii) copy of the communication between the student and scientist at NIO. (Sample request letter)
Application with all above documents to be sent by POST ONLY to The In-charge, HRM-Students Wing, National Institute of Oceanography, Dona Paula-403 004, Goa.
Applications without consent of the NIO-scientist should not be sent as they have least opportunity of getting placement. Placement letter will be sent to the Departments/College, not directly to the student. Normally the placement letters are sent within 8 weeks after receiving the application at HRM. Therefore, the students should keep in touch with their department/institutions for placement letter. Preserve the placement letter carefully as without it a student cannot join for the project.
Important Notes:
DISSERTATION is for a student whose project should be more than THREE months and should form the part of student's course-curriculam.
Request letters for program (on official letterhead only, having all contact details) should be from HoD/Dean/Principal/Placement Officer and to be addressed to DIRECTOR. Just forwarding the request letter written by the student will not be considered.
Some of the projects done by previous students can be found in NIO website.

Scientist of the Week#1
RAMANUJAN- GREATEST LOGICAL MIND OF INDIA!!!
Ramanujan was born in Erode, a small village in Tamil Nadu on 22
December 1887. When he was a year old his family moved to the town of
Kumbakonam, where his father worked as a clerk in a cloth merchant’s shop.
When he was nearly five years old, Ramanujan enrolled in the primary school.
In 1898 he joined the Town High School in Kumbakonam. At the Town High
School, Ramanujan did well in all subjects and proved himself an able all
round scholar. It was here that he came across the book Synopsis of Elementary
Results in Pure Mathematics by G. S. Carr. Influenced by the book, he began
working on mathematics on his own, summing geometric and arithmetic series.
He was given a scholarship to the Government College in
Kumbakonam. However his scholarship was not renewed because Ramanujan
neglected all subjects other than mathematics. In 1905 he appeared for the
First Arts examination which would have allowed him to be admitted to the
University of Madras. Again he failed in all subjects other than mathematics,
a performance he repeated in 1906 and 1907 too. In the following years he
worked on mathematics, with only Carr’s book as a guide, noting his results
in what would become the famous Notebooks.
He got married in 1909 and started looking for a job. His search took
him to many influential people, among them Ramachandra Rao, one of the
founding members of the Indian Mathematical Society. For a year he was
supported by Ramachandra Rao who gave him Rs. 25 per month. He started
posing and solving problems in the Journal of the Indian Mathematical Society.
His research paper on Bernoulli numbers, in 1911, brought him recognition
and he became well known in Chennai as a mathematical genius. In 1912,
with Ramachandra Rao’s help, he secured the post of clerk in the accounts
section of the Madras Port Trust. He continued to pursue mathematics and in
1913 he wrote to G. H. Hardy in Cambridge, enclosing a long list of his own
theorems. Hardy immediately recognized Ramanujan’s mathematical ability.
On the basis of Hardy’s letters, Ramanujan was given a scholarship by the
University of Madras in 1913. In 1914, Hardy arranged for him to go to Trinity
College, Cambridge.
Ramanujan’s work with Hardy produced important results right from
the beginning. In 1916 Ramanujan graduated from Cambridge with a Bachelor
of Science by Research. In 1918, he was elected a Fellow of the Cambridge
Philosophical Society, a Fellow of the Royal Society of London, and a Fellow
of Trinity College, Cambridge, all in the same year! However, from 1917
onwards he was seriously ill and mostly bedridden. In 1919 he returned to
India, in very poor health.
Ramanujan made outstanding contributions to analytical number
theory, elliptic functions, continued fractions, and infinite series. His published
and unpublished works have kept some of the best mathematical brains in the
world busy to this day.
