The Raman Research Institute (RRI, in German Raman Research Institute) is a research facility in Bangalore , India . It was founded by the Nobel Prize winner C. V. Raman . It is mainly funded by the Department of Science and Technology of the Government of India .
history
In December 1934 the Mysore government gave the Indian Academy of Sciences, founded by CV Raman, a piece of land in Bangalore. Raman subsequently collected donations in order to be able to set up an independent research facility on the property. In 1943 enough money was raised to start construction and in 1948 the first building of the institute was completed. Until his death in 1970 Raman worked on the development and expansion of the research institute.
Research areas
The main research areas are
Astronomical research institutions
The main focus of astronomical research at the RRI is on radio astronomy. For example, the RRI operates its own broadband receiver at the Green Bank Observatory . It is also a cooperation partner for various radio telescopes such as B. the
The participation of the Raman Research Institute in the Murchison Widefield Array aims, among other things, at the study of radio galaxies and quasars.
Research in theoretical physics
One focus of the RRI's research is on soft matter. The working group primarily researches liquid crystals, among other things with the aim of reducing the energy requirements of displays. In this context, various publications come Physical Review E .
Study programs
The RRI offers the following programs:
- PhD program
- various postdoc fellowship programs
- an exchange program for visiting students
