The students of 6th Semester, Department of Physics, Arya Vidyapeeth College, visited the Department of Physics, IIT Guwahati on the occasion of the International Day of Light celebrated on 16 May 2026. The programme was organized by the SPIE IITG Student Chapter and focused on the theme “Photonics for Innovation.”
The event began with the inauguration ceremony followed by a series of insightful lectures delivered by distinguished professors from IIT Guwahati and BHU. Prof. Rakesh K Singh, Prof. Pravat Kumar Giri, Dr. Debabrata Sikdar, and Dr. Rishi Maiti delivered engaging talks on various topics related to physics, photonics, and advanced research. The lectures were highly informative and inspired the students to learn more about modern developments in science and technology.
After the lecture sessions and lunch break, the students also visited advanced laboratories and instrumentation facilities at IIT Guwahati, which provided valuable exposure to practical research environments. Overall, the visit was an enriching and memorable learning experience for all the students.

The Department of Physics, Arya Vidyapeeth College, proudly congratulates Dr. Krishna Kingkar Pathak on the publication of his single-author research article, “Universal exponential scaling of isotope-dependent quantum tunneling splittings” in the journal Chemical Physics.

This significant contribution reflects the growing research excellence of the Physics Department and highlights impactful work in quantum tunneling, isotope effects, and nonlinear dynamics. The work has been dedicated to the memory of his Ph.D. supervisor, Prof. Dilip Kr. Choudhury, whose guidance and legacy continue to inspire generations of physicists.

We extend our heartfelt congratulations and best wishes for many more contributions to science and academia.

On the occasion of National Technology day, a "Robotic Skill Workshop" was organised by the Department of Physics and Department of Computer Science at the University of Science and Technology Meghalaya (USTM) which was attended by the students of the Department of Physics of Arya Vidyapeeth College (Autonomous). The workshop not only enhanced the participants' knowledge of robotics but also encourage young minds to contribute to technological advancements and innovation in the future.

The Dept. of Physics take immense pride in congratulating Dr. Krishna Kingkar Pathak on the publication of his latest research paper in Chemical Physics, a reputed international journal published by Elsevier, with an impact factor of 2.4 and a CiteScore of 4.2.
This marks his fourth single-author publication, reflecting a remarkable journey of independent research, exceptional dedication, and sustained scholarly excellence.
On this festive occasion of Bihu, this achievement stands as yet another gift from Dr. Pathak to our academic community — a true blend of cultural celebration and intellectual contribution.
