SUMMARY:[Seminar] : Mastering Research Publishing: Insights from the Editor’s Desk
DESCRIPTION:Talk title: Mastering Research Publishing: Insights from the Editor’s Desk\n\nSpeaker : Dr. Rohini Kitture\, Deputy Editor\, Wiley\n\nDate: 7th August 2025\, Thursday\n\nTime: 4 PM\n\nCoffee/Tea: 5 PM\n\nVenue: CeNSE Seminar Hall\, IISc\n\nAbstract:\nPublishing research is crucial in academia as it facilitates knowledge sharing and progress\nin various fields. However\, the intricacies of the publishing process often pose challenges\nfor researchers. This talk aims to provide valuable insights from an experienced editor to \nenhance the effectiveness of research publications.The session will begin with an overview \nof Wiley’s journals\, offering the attendees an idea of the range of potential venues for \ntheir research submissions. It will then delve into the detailed editorial review process\, \ncovering initial assessments and peer review\, and clarifying reasons for desk rejections. \nBy gaining a clearer understanding of these processes\, attendees will be better equipped \nto avoid common pitfalls\, thereby increasing the likelihood of their submissions being \nsuccessful. Drawing on practical tips from editors\,this talk aims to empower budding \nresearchers to improve their publication outcomes and maximize the impact of their work.\n\nBrief biopic:\n\nDr. Rohini Kitture\, Deputy Editor\, Small\, Small Methods\,\nSmall Structures\, Particle & Particle Systems\nCharacterization Physical Sciences Portfolio\, Wiley\n\n\n\nRohini Kitture earned her Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Pune\, with research focused on the \nsynthesis of nanomaterials for healthcare applications. She has held research positions as a \nvisiting scientist at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and as a postdoctoral research \nassociate at DIAT-DRDO Pune\, where she continued her work on nanomaterials in biomedical contexts.\n\nRohini joined Wiley in 2021 as a Senior Associate and was promoted to Associate Editor for the \nMaterials Science and Physics portfolio in 2023. She began her editorial journey with flagship \njournals such as Advanced Materials and Advanced Functional Materials\, contributing to peer review \ncoordination\, editorial decision-making\, and portfolio- based manuscript transfers.\n\nCurrently serving as Deputy Editor for Wiley’s Materials Science and Physics journals—including Small\,\nSmall Methods\, Small Structures\, and Particle & Particle Systems Characterization—Rohini is actively \ninvolved in editorial evaluation\,author engagement\, and community outreach. Based in India\, she \nleads initiatives to raise awareness of Wiley’s publishing ecosystem\, offering guidance on manuscript \npreparation\, research ethics\, and best practices in scientific publishing.\n\nShe has led the Small Science Symposium—the flagship event for the Small family of journals—twice in \nSouth Korea and most recently organized its first edition in India. As part of this symposium\, \nthe Young Innovator Awards are presented to promising researchers\, each receiving a USD 1000 cash \nprize and a certificate of recognition.\n\nRohini is also actively involved in the Rising Stars series\, which highlights exceptional \nearly-career researchers from around the world. Through her editorial and outreach initiatives\, \nshe remains committed to supporting the visibility and global recognition of researchers within \nthe international scientific community.\nHost Faculty: Prof. Sreetosh Goswami

SUMMARY:[Seminar] : Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Discovery
DESCRIPTION:Speaker: Dr. N. M. Anoop Krishnan\, Associate Professor\, Department of Civil Engineering\, \nYardi School of Artificial Intelligence (Joint Appt.)\, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi.\nTitle: "Artificial Intelligence for Scientific Discovery"\nDate: Thursday\, August 14th\, 2025 - Time: 11 AM\nTea & Coffee: 12 PM\nVenue: IDR Building G-01\n\nAbstract:\n\nThis talk explores three AI approaches transforming materials research: multimodal language \nmodels for information extraction\, universal force fields for simulations\, and agentic systems\n for autonomous experimentation. First\, we discuss about MaScQA and MaCBench benchmarks that \nevaluate materials science knowledge and multimodal capabilities in large language models\, \nrevealing significant limitations in current systems. Then\, we will discuss domain-specific language\n models MatSciBERT and LLaMat\, demonstrating state-of-the-art performance in materials literature mining.\n Second\, our work on universal force fields through equivariant graph neural networks shows that \nlower energy errors don’t guarantee stable molecular dynamics. We demonstrate how these could be improved\n through finetuning on experimental data. Finally\, we discuss about AILA (Artificially Intelligent Lab Assistant)\n that automates atomic force microscopy through LLM-driven agents. AFMBench evaluation reveals critical gaps \nbetween domain question-answering capabilities and practical agentic performance\, highlighting safety alignment\n concerns for autonomous laboratory systems. Together\, these approaches represent key pillars for end-to-end AI-driven\n scientific discovery\, while exposing fundamental challenges that must be addressed.\n\n\nBiography:\n\nProf. N. M. Anoop Krishnan is an Associate Professor in the Department of Civil Engineering\, \nIIT Delhi with a joint appointment in the Yardi School of Artificial Intelligence. Anoop completed \nhis Ph.D. in Civil Engineering from Indian Institute of Science Bangalore in 2015\, after which\, \nhe worked as a postdoctoral researcher in University of California Los Angeles from 2015 to 2017. \nPrior to this\, he completed his B.Tech. in Civil Engineering from National Institute of Technology \nCalicut in 2009. He works at the intersection of materials\, mechanics\, simulations\, and AI and ML with \nthe goal of accelerating materials modeling and discovery. He has published more than 120 international \npeer-reviewed journal publications and has 2 granted patents. He has won several awards including \nSir A. Pilkington Award by Society of Glass Technology\, UK (2024)\, Humboldt Fellowship (2023) for \nexperienced researchers\, Google research scholar award (2023)\,  W. A. Weyl International Glass Science \nAward by ICG and Penn State University (2022)\, Indian National Academy of Engineering Young Engineer \nAward (INAE YAE 2020)\, BRNS-DAE Young Scientist Award (2021)\, National Academy of Science India Young \nScientist Award (NASI YSA 2021)\, and Indian Academy of Sciences Associateship (2022).\n\n\nHost Faculty:  Prof. Pavan Nukala.
