DESCRIPTION:IEEE Newfoundland-Labrador Computer\, Communication\, and Circu
 its & Systems Joint Societies Chapter cordially invites you to a technical
  presentation entitled “Phononic Frequency Combs” by Dr. Adarsh Ganesa
 n\, Assistant Professor at Birla Institute of Technology and Science (BITS
 )\, Pilani – Dubai Campus\, UAE.\n\nSeminar Title: Phononic Frequency Co
 mbs\n\nSeminar Speaker: Dr. Adarsh Ganesan\n\nSeminar Abstract:\n\nPhononi
 c frequency combs (PFC) are the mechanical analogues of celebrated photoni
 c frequency combs. These represent a newly documented physical phenomenon 
 in the well-researched physical domain of mechanical resonators. The emerg
 ence of PFC is mediated by nonlinear modal coupling. Through a series of e
 xperiments using micromechanical resonators\, various physical features of
  PFC have been identified. These include drive parameters for comb operati
 on\, hysteresis for comb spectrum tailoring and nonlinear sensitivity to p
 hysical perturbations. My talk will describe the physics of PFC and will e
 mphasize how these combs could be foundational to the fields of materials 
 science\, molecular science and chemical science. In that respect\, I will
  present our first conceptual demonstrations of material combs\, molecular
  combs and chemical combs respectively. I will also showcase our recent de
 monstrations of broadband PFC using optical tweezers and phonon lasers. Th
 e future work will be focused on the applications of PFC in sensing\, comm
 unications and quantum information science.\n\nBiography of the Speaker:\n
 \nAdarsh Ganesan is currently an assistant professor at Birla Institute of
  Technology and Science (BITS)\, Pilani – Dubai Campus\, UAE. He obtaine
 d his BE (Hons) in Electrical and Electronics Engineering from BITS Pilani
  in 2014 and Ph.D. in Engineering from the University of Cambridge in 2018
 . He carried out his postdoctoral research at the National Institute of St
 andards and Technology (NIST)\, Gaithersburg\, USA from 2018-2021. After s
 erving as an assistant professor at Ahmedabad University\, India from 2021
 -2024\, Adarsh joined the Dubai Campus of BITS Pilani in July 2024. Adarsh
  has been recognized for his doctoral work on phononic frequency combs by 
 the 2017 John Winbolt Prize (Cambridge University)\, 2017 UK Doctoral Rese
 archer Award\, 2018 APS GSNP Student Speaker Award\, 2018 IET Hudswell Int
