Course Name: Nuclear Astrophysics

Course abstract

Nuclear astrophysics is the union of nuclear physics and astronomy. The purpose of the course is to introduce the emerging field of nuclear astrophysics; a discipline that can identify new observational signatures probing our universe. This discipline has proved to have the potential to categorize the conditions at the core of stars and provide information of energy production from stars, nucleosynthesis and stellar evolution. New initiatives in this domain include the development of experimental facilities (Ex: FRENA in SINP Kolkata), that open new landscapes into the nuclear processes that take place at low energies during the evolutionary phases of stars and in explosive events in galaxies.

Prof. Anil Kumar Gourishetty is passionate about teaching at various levels of students. I have been shortlisted in top 15 at institute level (UG category) for outstanding teacher award in 2018, 2019 and 2020. The students strength was in the range of 30 to 180. The maximum faculty score I had obtained from a batch of the students was 4.57 out of 5. At IIT Roorkee, I have taught Nuclear Astrophysics (2 times), and Nuclear Physics and Applications (2 times) and Reactor Physics (2 times) which are related to the proposed course. As one of my research areas is Nuclear Astrophysics, I enjoy in teaching this course, which would be interest of many students who wants to know the role of nuclear physics in understanding the stellar evolution and synthesis of elements.
