Day one featured two insightful lectures by Prof. S. Umapathy (Dept. of Inorganic and Physical Chemistry and Dept. of Instrumentation and Applied Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore). His scientific lecture on “Structure and Function from Raman Spectroscopy and Artificial Intelligence” offered insights into advanced spectroscopy and computational tools, followed by a general session on “Navigating a Scientific Research Career-Challenges and Suggestions”, which sparked lively discussions.

On the second day, IRTG Ph.D. scholars from IISER TVM— Shobhita M., Josmy Biju, Vishnu A., Aparna V., and Mufida Sherin P. — presented their research across diverse topics. Each presentation was followed by interactive discussions. The members from JMU Würzburg, joined remotely for the talks and actively contributed to the discussion.

The two-day events fostered knowledge exchange and engaging discussions, strengthening the IRTG research community.
