Prof. B J Rao, Vice Chancellor of UoH presided over the event.
Prof Sastry V S S S (from the Centre of Modelling, Simulation and Design, UoH) gave a talk on ‘Measurement Processes in Physics and Evolution of Concepts’ on this occasion.
Later a hands-on-activity for all the attendees on Origami by Dr. Archana Morye (from the School of Mathematics and Statistics) was also organized. The concept of the origami activity being used by researchers worldwide currently to study dark matter in physics! was explained.
The family members of Prof Murthy, Mrs Indira and Saket (son) graced the event. Some of the IMSc students from earlier batches also attended the meet and shared their fond memories of Prof Murthy.
