Interviewer 0:02:48
So you mentioned the personal energy license technique for defect analysis—how do you actually explain the practical importance of defect analysis to students who might not see why it matters in real-world physics?
Interviewer 0:02:57
Okay, so you bring in defect analysis techniques like personal energy loss spectroscopy to your classes. When you're introducing those methods, how do you actually explain the practical importance of defect analysis to students who might not see why it matters in real-world physics or engineering?
Interviewer 0:03:01
Okay, so you use personal energy loss spectroscopy as a way to introduce defect analysis techniques to students. When you're explaining why defect analysis matters, how do you connect it to real-world physics or engineering problems so students really see the relevance?
Interviewer 0:03:17
Alright, so you're introducing students to defect analysis with those techniques, and tying it to materials like semiconductors and metals. When you teach this, how do you get students to actually engage with the data—do you use lab demos, simulations, or some other approach?
Interviewer 0:03:34
Alright, you're bringing in personal action spectroscopy to help students quantify defect sizes and concentrations in materials like semiconductors and metals. When you're teaching that, how do you make sure students really grasp the connection between those microscopic defects and the actual performance of devices they might use in the real world?
Interviewer 0:03:39
Alright, so you're using personal action spectroscopy to spark interest and help students understand material behavior beyond microscopy. When you first introduce this technique, how do you get students to actually engage with it—do you use lab demos, case studies, or some other approach?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:05:20
Uh, actually this is the. A Positron IELTS and license spectroscopy. Or passing. OK, uh. That assisted earlier. This is well known technique. Uh. To analyze the defect properties on the material. Kolkata Material. So so I. I would like to introduce. To students through the exclusive portion. By the more. The instrument to the students. Well, sample. And the different sort of sample. So first I will introduce the basic. Concepts with students. Like with the simple analogy. To understand what sort of. Mechanism between what is the physical? Real physical meaning of the. So from that I will say introduce. The physical concept. And how did something? Then I will show the live demo on the. Like how the instrument is functioning. Like from starting onwards how person evolved? And I'll get injected to the material. I will get annihilated. I will use record of the character. I will take pulse process. How is the data spectrum? As a recorded so everything. I will introduce the students. So that they will understand very easily. So meantime I will. Go with very simple analogy. Will make easier. So students can understand.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:04:36
Uh, actually this is the. A Positron IELTS and license spectroscopy. Or passing. OK, uh. That assisted earlier. This is well known technique. Uh. To analyze the defect properties on the material. Kolkata Material. So so I. I would like to introduce. To students through the exclusive portion. By the more. The instrument to the students. Well, sample. And the different sort of sample. So first I will introduce the basic. Concepts with students. Like with the simple analogy.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:04:50
Uh, actually this is the. A Positron IELTS and license spectroscopy. Or passing. OK, uh. That assisted earlier. This is well known technique. Uh. To analyze the defect properties on the material. Kolkata Material. So so I. I would like to introduce. To students through the exclusive portion. By the more. The instrument to the students. Well, sample. And the different sort of sample. So first I will introduce the basic. Concepts with students. Like with the simple analogy. To understand what sort of. Mechanism between what is the physical? Real physical meaning of the. So from that I will say introduce. The physical concept. And how did something?
Interviewer 0:04:41
Dr., I noticed your publication in Europhysics Letters on defect evolution in nanoporous gold using low-energy positron beam experiments. When you discuss this research with undergraduates, how do you bridge the gap between the advanced methods and concepts in your paper and what a student just learning materials science can grasp?
Interviewer 0:04:52
Okay, so you start by building the basic concepts with analogies, then move to exposing students to the actual instrument and different samples. When you’re making that leap from the fundamental physics to the hands-on technique, what’s one way you help students who are struggling to connect the theory to what they’re seeing in the lab?
Interviewer 0:05:23
You mentioned using simple analogies and live demos to help students grasp the physical meaning behind positron annihilation spectroscopy. When a student struggles with the data interpretation side—say, reading a spectrum or connecting the results to defect properties—what strategies do you use to help them get over that hurdle?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:06:36
In general, that. So these kind of spectrum. Unless it is through software. Uh. I'll start with a simple, uh, well known sample. Is like a metal or the semiconductor. Like the metal in case of metal like I will go with aluminum. Gold sample. Which is very defective. Mater. Then I will introduce the defective material. So that they will distinguish the real difference between the defects. Here as well as the. The physical properties are rather defect properties of the. Material, yeah. So. So in in case of understanding the spectrum. By seeing the. By seeing the spectrum, we can easily identify the. Depict material defect free material. Sorry, go with. Reference material. I'll go with real sample material.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:06:41
In general, that. So these kind of spectrum. Unless it is through software. Uh. I'll start with a simple, uh, well known sample. Is like a metal or the semiconductor. Like the metal in case of metal like I will go with aluminum. Gold sample. Which is very defective. Mater. Then I will introduce the defective material. So that they will distinguish the real difference between the defects. Here as well as the. The physical properties are rather defect properties of the. Material, yeah. So. So in in case of understanding the spectrum. By seeing the. By seeing the spectrum, we can easily identify the. Depict material defect free material. Sorry, go with. Reference material. I'll go with real sample material. So that. They will get real picture of the. Sample.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:06:23
In general, that. So these kind of spectrum. Unless it is through software. Uh. I'll start with a simple, uh, well known sample. Is like a metal or the semiconductor. Like the metal in case of metal like I will go with aluminum. Gold sample. Which is very defective. Mater. Then I will introduce the defective material. So that they will distinguish the real difference between the defects. Here as well as the. The physical properties are rather defect properties of the. Material, yeah.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:05:56
In general, that. So these kind of spectrum. Unless it is through software.
Interviewer 0:05:58
Okay, so you use software to help students interpret those spectra. When you introduce the analysis tools, do you walk students through hands-on exercises, or do you let them explore on their own first?
Interviewer 0:06:26
So you're starting students with a simple metal sample like aluminum, then switching to more defective materials so they can see the difference in spectrum and defect properties. When students compare those results, what do you look for in their analysis or discussion to know they've really grasped the underlying physics?
Interviewer 0:06:40
So you walk students through reference materials and real samples so they can spot differences in defect spectra—sounds hands-on. When you connect this technique to broader concepts in physics, like semiconductor device reliability or quantum computation, how do you bridge that gap for students who might not have the background yet?
Interviewer 0:06:43
So you're starting students with a familiar metal like aluminum and then a more defective sample, so they can really see the change in the spectrum and connect it to physical defect properties. When students compare those results, do you find they come up with their own interpretations, or do you guide them to a particular analytical framework?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:08:04
Yeah, I'll I, I guide them the. Particular analytical framework. That well known software. And well known. Like. Pulpit and the LT9 like software. That that digital that is dedicated for analysting this kind of. Past life and spectroscopy. And more than I will introduce about developing cyptoscopy as well. So. Not only person like and scoping. A double of money unless is petroscopy also. He can understand the defect material. And the real? Defect property of the material. So. So I will go with a simple frame, simple analytical tool. Like. And I'll, uh, and I will teach them each and every four of their material. So they will get so soon she will get easily. To understand the. Material and they will easily. I understand that the real spectrum limit is. Today, the DC can't be the Roy wound.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:07:20
Yeah, I'll I, I guide them the. Particular analytical framework. That well known software. And well known. Like. Pulpit and the LT9 like software.
Interviewer 0:07:28
Alright, let's shift gears a bit. Given your work in nanomaterials and defect analysis, where do you see the most fundable research directions over the next three years? Which grants or funding sources would you target for those projects?
Interviewer 0:08:09
Alright, so you guide students through the analysis using dedicated software like Pulpit and LT9, and you layer in other techniques like Doppler broadening to help them understand defects. Switching gears, can you discuss any experience you have in academic quality assurance and how it would help you contribute to maintaining high standards in both teaching and research at VIT?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:08:57

Given your background, where do you see the most fundable research directions in nanomaterials or defect analysis over the next few years? What kind of grants would you pursue to support that work?
Interviewer 0:09:57
You guided students through analysis using tools like Pulpit and LT9, and you emphasized hands-on teaching with both bachelor’s and master’s levels. Let's shift a bit—how would you contribute to curriculum development efforts at VIT, especially in aligning course content with accreditation standards and advancements in theoretical physics and quantum computation?
Interviewer 0:10:03
Alright, so you got international exposure in instrumentation development and digital pulse spectroscopy, plus solid teaching experience at both bachelor’s and master’s levels. Thinking about VIT’s curriculum—how would you contribute to curriculum development, especially in aligning content with accreditation standards and advances in theoretical physics or quantum computation?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:11:54
Yeah, in theoretical approach, I would like to introduce the DfT calculation on the battery materials. And then let incorporate personal lifetime and. That will help to further. The Vt or the the cutting edge research is ongoing. Indeed, and the novel analysis. Technician for the. Uh, calculation. On the. Battery materials. In company with the personal license stethoscope. The result?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:12:09
Yeah, in theoretical approach, I would like to introduce the DfT calculation on the battery materials. And then let incorporate personal lifetime and. That will help to further.

Doesn't like this the cookie reset?
Interviewer 0:11:39
Alright, let's shift gears a bit. You mentioned using analogies and hands-on demos in your teaching. Suppose you had a large class—say, 200 students—and you couldn't use slides. How would you make sure everyone stays engaged and actually wrestles with the material, not just listens?
Interviewer 0:11:59
You mentioned DFT calculations combined with positron lifetime analysis to keep curriculum current and research-focused. In your view, what's the best way to help students actually connect these advanced topics to real-world applications—do you use industry projects, guest lectures, or something else?
Interviewer 0:12:12
Alright, you’d introduce DFT calculations alongside positron lifetime analysis to bring in cutting-edge techniques for battery materials. That’s pretty current. When you’re thinking about integrating these advances into the curriculum, how do you make sure students of different backgrounds and skill levels can actually follow and participate—especially if they’re new to quantum computation or theoretical modeling?
Interviewer 0:12:19
Alright, shifting focus a bit. Accreditation cycles can be demanding—if you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:13:20
Uh, I'd like to. Uh, like. Avoid the other outcome in existence. Uh, like I go with the. I'll go with very basic fund, fundamental basic. Knowledge.
Interviewer 0:13:22
You said you'd start with basic fundamentals to address inconsistent outcome data, but I need a bit more detail there—what practical steps would you take to actually bring the courses in line, especially if you found gaps in assessment or reporting?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:13:56
Uh, I'd like to. Uh, like. Avoid the other outcome in existence. Uh, like I go with the. I'll go with very basic fund, fundamental basic. Knowledge. And meantime, I'll go with the cuttingist research and innovative teaching. Experience that will help you. At the teaching side of our. Appeasing side of mind and. Professor in Physics C. How? Yeah, helping in representing physics by. Go with innovative research and. Cutting 36 and the university teaching is uh. Oops.
Interviewer 0:13:59
You said you'd start with fundamental knowledge and mix in innovative research and teaching practices to address inconsistent outcome data, but I need a bit more detail there—what practical steps would you take to actually bring the courses in line, especially when the department needs concrete evidence for accreditation?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:14:30
MMM.
Interviewer 0:14:34
Professor, imagine this scenario: a student formally
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:14:58
OK, can you repeat the?
Interviewer 0:15:00
Of course, I'll repeat that question. If you joined our department and found that outcome assessment data was inconsistent across courses, how would you approach fixing that?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:15:37
I would like to start introducing the fundamental. Concept Critical concept to the students. Analogy techniques and. The live real life. They real well.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:15:58
I would like to start introducing the fundamental. Concept Critical concept to the students. Analogy techniques and. The live real life. They real well. On. I will teach them in like. Very strong way and I'll go with. Lesson as well as the real time real world analogy and application. Then so. That way I try to overcome. That is 0.
Interviewer 0:15:39
Alright, you’d start by introducing critical concepts with analogies and real-life examples. Let’s say you do all that, but the department head disagrees with your methods—maybe they want a more standardized approach and push back against your curriculum changes. How would you handle that situation?
Interviewer 0:16:00
Alright, you’re saying you’d use strong fundamentals, real-world analogies, and practical applications to bring students up to speed and address gaps. Let’s say you do all that, but the department head disagrees with your approach—maybe they want a more standardized, traditional method instead. How would you handle that conflict?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:16:56
The standard is and the traditional method also. Work well in terms of. How come the issue? I will handle both like. I will. Stick with the traditional as well as I will handle the novel approach. So that will try to. Startup details.
Interviewer 0:16:59
So you’d balance both approaches—keeping the traditional methods the department head wants, but still trying to introduce your own more innovative techniques where possible. If you felt that sticking too closely to tradition might actually compromise student learning or academic integrity, how would you address that concern with your department head?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:18:13
In that case I will. The academic integrity of. For frontlining.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:18:20
In that case I will. The academic integrity of. For frontlining. The traditional method works in some cases.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:18:33
In that case I will. The academic integrity of. For frontlining. The traditional method works in some cases. In the other case in other way. The novel approach. They will. That will help to understand. The real. Picture of the. Concepts.
Interviewer 0:18:18
Alright, Professor, now let’s talk about connecting your academic work with real-world industry outcomes. Given your background in semiconductor physics and spectroscopic techniques, do you have any industry connections or collaborations that could translate into internship or placement opportunities for students at VIT?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:18:49
In that case I will. The academic integrity of. For frontlining. The traditional method works in some cases. In the other case in other way. The novel approach. They will. That will help to understand. The real. Picture of the. Concepts. So compared to the television method. So. Kind of. Double gun. So we can use uh. And traditional methods. As well as the innovative teaching. Tell a simple analogy.
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:18:42
In that case I will. The academic integrity of. For frontlining. The traditional method works in some cases. In the other case in other way. The novel approach. They will. That will help to understand. The real. Picture of the. Concepts. So compared to the television method. So. Kind of. Double gun.
Interviewer 0:18:27
You’re saying the academic integrity is your priority, and traditional methods can work in some cases. Alright, let’s wrap this section up. Given your experience in both teaching and instrumentation, what concrete steps would you take to connect students with industry placements or internships—have you built any relationships with companies or labs that could help with that?
Interviewer 0:18:36
You emphasized academic integrity and said traditional methods work for some cases, but novel approaches help students grasp the real concepts. Given your experience in both teaching and instrumentation, how would you bring real-world industry problems into your classroom at VIT—have you done any consulting or industry collaboration that could help students connect with employers or internships?
Interviewer 0:18:46
You mentioned digital pulse spectroscopy and semiconductor physics earlier, so I want to start there. Imagine you're designing a course module on semiconductor device physics—how would you help students connect theory to experiments, especially when lab resources are limited?

You emphasized that combining traditional and novel teaching methods, along with real-world analogies, helps students see the real picture behind concepts—so you’re clearly thinking about pedagogy at a deep level. Now, turning to research: can you walk me through a recent publication or research project of yours in theoretical physics, and explain what made your approach or findings distinctive?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:20:20
For undercat. The like to introduce. Uh, like missing language too? Like for Python. That is. Oh, for national learning. Uh. Umm. In terms of difficult? MMM. I think Python look for the machine learning. I think that will work better.
Interviewer 0:20:22
Okay, so you’d use Python as the language and introduce machine learning concepts that way. Can you give me a specific example of a physics problem or experiment where you’d have students use machine learning—like what dataset would you pick, what would the model do, and how would you tie it into the course?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:21:32
In terms of. Personal license at the copied itself. To understand that. I will go with the Python code.
Interviewer 0:21:34
You mentioned using Python code to help students understand the experiment with personal license spectroscopy, but I’d like you to walk me through how you’d actually structure that assignment—what dataset would you use, what machine learning method, and what would students need to demonstrate by the end?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:22:22
In terms of. Personal license at the copied itself. To understand that. I will go with the Python code. That will. Analyze the real. Data structure in checking that. And moreover, uh. The real uh. Examples like. In Prandtl. Oh. I think the the lifetime stethoscope is spectrum analysis. You see, patent will be allowed. More than I couldn't able to recollect that. Thanks very much.
Interviewer 0:22:24
You mentioned using Python code to analyze real data from personal license spectroscopy, and you referenced spectrum analysis—so you’re thinking about tying machine learning to actual experimental physics. Let’s switch to quantum computation for a moment: if you were designing an undergraduate lab that introduces quantum algorithms, what’s one experiment or simulation you’d have students run to help them understand qubit superposition or entanglement?
Dr. Lakshmanan Chelladurai 0:23:06
Uh, I'm not much knowledge on. Have not much knowledge about counterpart. I'm think umm. The vocation problems.
