Department of Physics, Shivaji University, organized a
lecture titled "Recent advances in Aerogel research", shedding light
on the promising advancements in aerogel materials. Dr. V. G. Parale, a Research
Professor from Yonsei University, Seoul, South Korea, spearheaded this
enlightening discourse. The event commenced with an introduction by Sonkawade,
who introduced both the program and the speaker, Dr. V. G. Parale. Dr. Parale,
a luminary in the field, was honored with a shawl and shrifal as a gesture of
appreciation.
Dr. Parale's address delved into the remarkable
journey of aerogel research, tracing its origins and evolution. He attributed
the genesis of aerogel research in India to Dr. A. V. Rao, under whose guidance
it first took root in the Physics department of Shivaji University. The lecture
provided insights into the preparation of aerogel materials, elucidating both
the challenges and the vast opportunities they present.
