Dr Manu Johns Chowallur

Considering the popular request for a second talk after the thrilling session on forensic biology delivered by Dr Manu, Proteus is organising another exciting talk by Dr Manu. Dr Manu Johns Chowallur earned his MBBS in 2010 and MD in 2015, both from the Govt. Medical College, Thrissur. He went on to study a basic life support course at WIMS, Wayanad, in 2016, and a foundation course in palliative care for doctors under NRHM in 2017. Currently, he is working as assistant professor and assistant police surgeon, Department of Forensic Medicine, Govt. Medical College, Thrissur. He has received several prestigious awards, including the ‘Best Research Paper Award’ in an Indian Academy of Forensic Medicine conference in 2014, KUHS university first rank for MD in forensic medicine in 2015, and first rank in PSC. He has also presented research papers in national and international medico-legal conferences.
The abstract for the talk is available in the schedule!

Dr. C.N.Ramchand

Dr. C.N.Ramchand holds a Ph.D. in biochemistry from MS University Baroda. He also served as an assistant professor and obtained his M. Phil from the same University. He holds a Master’s degree in Chemistry from the University of Kerala. He is also the 3-time winner of the Young Scientist award from Charing Cross and Westminster Medical School, UK for his work on the role of membrane pathology in schizophrenia and the development of EPA as a therapy for schizophrenia.

Prof. Anil Shaji

Professor Anil Shaji is an associate professor at the School of Physics in IISER Thiruvananthapuram. He is a member of the American Physical Society and an awardee of the CSIR - India, golden jubilee merit fellowship, 1991. He received his B.Sc. in physics from University College Thiruvananthapuram and his M.Sc. from IIT-Madras. He went on to complete his PhD at the University of Texas, Austin alongside Prof. E. C. G. Sudarshan on open quantum systems and quantum information. After his postdoc at the University of New Mexico, working in the information physics group with Prof. Carlton M. Caves, he joined the School of Physics in June 2009. His research revolves around studying physical phenomena from the perspective of quantum information theory. Presently, he is working on the fundamental and practical limits on measurement precision in quantum metrology. The spin-statistics connection, the quantum Zeno effect and quantum entanglement in continuous-variable systems are some of the topics that he has worked on in the past and wishes to pursue further.
