Vamsi Krishna from Andhra, who is doing his doctoral research in the Microelectronics Laboratory, rang to say that Dr. Mailadil T. Sebastian from Trivandrum (now known as Thiruvananthapuram), Kerala, was now in the Microelectronics Laboratory as well and that he would be here for about 2 months.
I got through to Dr. Sebastian and invited the two of them to dinner.
Dr. Sebastian is the Deputy Director in the Regional Research Laboratory (RRL) in Trivandrum. All the RRLs are part of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.
Dr. Sebastian is here on a Nokia Fellowship and is giving a lecture series on wireless antenna systems. He is a materials scientist working on electroceramics systems. He is helping to organise an International Conference which will be held in Oulu in June.
MICROWAVE MATERIALS AND THEIR APPLICATIONS 2006 is being organized by Microwave Electroceramics Group of the University of Oulu. The General Chair is Prof. Heli Jantunen (University of Oulu, Finland) The other Chairpersons are Neil Alford (London South Bank University, UK) and Dr. Sebastian.
After dinner, where for part of the time we enjoyed the spring sunshine, but moved in when the sun set, we went home to meet Annikki.
It was a pleasant evening and hope that we can meet up again some time. It was nice to use my rusty "mother tongue" Malayalam again. Found I cannot turn my tongue around the Malayalam words as well as I could!
