About Us

The idea of organizing a workshop and conference on Evolution of Electronic Structure Theory and Experimental Realization (EESTER) germinated in the year 2018 by a few of us from the two premier academic institutes of Chennai, IIT Madras, and SRMIST. The workshop is designed to impart basic and advanced knowledge on the electronic structure theory and its application to research scholars, postdocs, and young faculties working in the broad area of condensed matter physics. The experimental validation of the theoretical predictions and vice-versa is one of the salient features of this workshop.


When the workshop ends, the conference begins to discuss and deliberate on the recent advancements in focused areas of condensed matter physics and materials science. The idea has now converted to a biennial international event and we have successfully organized three editions of EESTER. In every edition, we are blessed to have speakers of international repute from India and abroad and enthused participants.


We welcome you to the 4th Edition of EESTER (EESTER-2025) where our focuses are on Quantum Materials and Energy Materials. This time two other institutes of the city of Chennai, Anna University and CLRI, have joined us to organize this event and make it a grand and successful. Uppsala University, Sweden is the other co-organiser of EESTER-2025.
