Subject: [Faculty] ExpEYES demo by Prof Ajith Kumar tomorrow (July 2) at ECG
Sudarshan Hall from 2 PM
Hi,
It's a pleasure to announce a demonstration of the hands-on experiment kit
ExpEYES (Experiments for Young Engineers and Scientists) by Ajith Kumar
tomorrow (July 2) at ECG Sudarshan Hall from 2 PM. There will be tea/coffee
from 3-3:30 pm.
About the demo:
ExpEYES (https://expeyes.in/) is an open-hardware and free-software framework
designed to revolutionize science and engineering education through real-world,
hands-on exploration. Originating from the PHOENIX project at the
Inter-University Accelerator Centre (IUAC) in New Delhi, this innovative
platform effectively converts any standard personal computer or consumer
electronic device into a fully featured, flexible physics laboratory.
The primary mandate of ExpEYES is to empower students, teachers, researchers,
and hobbyists to seamlessly develop experiments, demonstrations, and
multi-disciplinary science projects. It successfully bridges the gap between
hardware interfaces and learners by eliminating the need for deep expertise in
complex electronics engineering or advanced computer programming.
About the speaker:
Dr. Ajith worked as a senior scientist with Inter-University Accelerator
Centre, New Delhi from 1985-2021. He did M.Sc and Ph.D. in Nuclear Physics from
the University of Calicut and M.Sc in Accelerator Physics from the University
of Manitoba, Canada. He worked mainly in the area of design and development of
particle accelerators and instrumentation for associated experiments, including
radio-frequency accelerating structures, control, and data acquisition systems,
digital and radio frequency electronics modules.
For the past several years he has been involved in promoting Free Software
tools in Education. Has been pursuing academic community to include Python in
their syllabus and has written a book 'Python for Education'. Dr. Ajith is
involved in teacher training programs and has helped thousands of teachers to
have hands-on experience with computer interfaced experiments and to take their
first steps in the world of Free Software and Python.
Looking forward to see all of you there.
With regards,
Sitabhra
