by
Prof. Dipankar Banerjee
[Director, Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences, Department of Science and Technology]
Chair: Prof. Arnab Rai Choudhuri [Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bengaluru]
Date: 29 October 2021 (Friday) at 4:00 PM
Prof. Dipankar Banerjee is currently the director of the Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), Nainital. He is an astrophysicist with a PhD from Indian Institute of Astrophysics and completed two postdoctoral tenures in reputed institutions in Europe. Dr Banerjee's area of interest is the Sun and the solar atmosphere. His work involves theoretical and numerical modeling using data from ground and space-based instruments. His work has enriched our understanding of the Sun and its impact on Space Weather. He is the co-chair of the Science working group of the "Aditya" mission, the first dedicated Indian mission to study the Sun. He is also the project coordinator for the National Large-Solar Telescope Project (NLST), a proposed 2-meter ground-based telescope planned to be installed at a Himalayan site. He is also involved with NASA's PUNCH mission.

ABOUT STIP FORUM: The Science Technology and Innovation Policy (STIP) Forum has been set up with the objective of promoting debate on various aspects of Science, Technology and Innovation Policy. The Forum would go beyond the disciplinary boundaries by taking into account the intersectionality of S&T and I. It aims to bridge the gap between the science and society for dissemination of scientific achievements as well as for generalizing debate of societal aspirations and promoting responsible research and innovations. The monthly lecture series of public lectures has been launched to sensitize the public discourse on science, technology and innovation policy. Research and Information System for Developing Countries (RIS), The Energy Resources Institute (TERI), Centre for Science and Environment (CSE), Indo-French Centre for the Promotion of Advanced Research (CEFIPRA), Vigyan Prasar and India Habitat Centre (IHC) are collaborative institutes.
