DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Tribikram Choudhury (Institute of Engineering and  M
 anagement (IN))\n\nhttps://arxiv.org/abs/2510.25667\nQuantum dots (QDs) ar
 e nanoscale semiconductor materials whose optical and electronic propertie
 s can be precisely tailored through composition\, size\, and surface engin
 eering. Their unique characteristics—including tunable emission waveleng
 ths\, high photoluminescence efficiency\, large absorption cross-sections\
 , excellent radiation sensitivity\, and compatibility with diverse host ma
 terials—have positioned them as promising functional materials for next-
 generation technologies across multiple disciplines.\nThis talk will provi
 de an overview of recent advances in quantum dot research and explore thei
 r emerging applications in high-energy physics\, space science\, and medic
 ine.\nIn high-energy physics\, quantum dots offer novel opportunities for 
 scintillation detectors\, wavelength-shifting materials\, particle trackin
 g\, radiation sensing\, quantum sensing\, and rare-event searches\, includ
 ing dark matter and neutrino experiments. Their integration into detector 
 media\, optical fibers\, and advanced photonic systems may enable enhanced
  light collection\, improved timing resolution\, and new approaches to par
 ticle detection.\nFor space applications\, quantum dots present exciting p
 ossibilities for radiation dosimetry\, lightweight photonic devices\, infr
 ared sensing\, solar energy harvesting\, and environmental monitoring in h
 arsh extraterrestrial environments. Their tunable optical responses and po
 tential radiation hardness make them attractive candidates for future spac
 e missions and satellite instrumentation.\n In the medical domain\, quant
 um dots have already demonstrated significant potential in bioimaging\, di
 agnostics\, drug delivery\, photodynamic therapy\, and biosensing. Their b
 right and stable luminescence enables highly sensitive detection of biolog
 ical processes\, while advances in non-toxic and biocompatible quantum dot
 s are expanding their clinical relevance.\n The talk will highlight recen
 t developments in quantum dot materials\, including perovskite\, chalcogen
 ide\, and doped semiconductor nanocrystals\, and discuss future opportunit
 ies at the interface of quantum technology\, advanced sensing\, and multid
 isciplinary research. Particular emphasis will be placed on how engineered
  quantum dots can serve as a common technological platform linking fundame
 ntal physics\, space exploration\, and biomedical innovation.\n\nhttps://i
