Hi,

I am going to India during this summer for a short visit. I plan to
visit a few local colleges and give lectures on applications of
computer technology in research in areas such as Physics, Chemistry and 
Mathematics as well as  Biological, Botanical and Geological Sciences. The main
emphasis behind the presentations is to introduce computer aided innovative
research techniques and how these techniques can facilitate the overall
research process. As you must have noted  the scope of these lectures seems to
encompass a very wide and disparate range of fields. Hence I am trying to
organize these lectures around a simplistic theme of 'Whats, Whys, and Hows of
Computers' . I will then try to encase this with ideas and examples from
applications in the above mentioned  fields. My audience will consist mainly of
graduate and undergraduate students who, I believe, have a very limited, and in
some cases non-existent, exposure to computers. 

I need help from the scientific community here in gathering material for these
lectures. I am a Computer Scientist by profession and hence I think I can deal
with the technical aspects of computers. However, my exposure to applications
in many areas is limited and quite inadequate for the purposes mentioned above.
Also, I want to present some very simple and yet  innovative applications. I
hope to arouse  a few curious minds through these examples. Hence, I would like
a few examples of applications that are simple and interesting and illustrate
some research methodology. Any references, description of examples, or pointers
to literature should suffice.   

Please respond to the electronic and US mail addresses given below. I will try to
recapitulate the information that I receive on the net if there is interest.
Thank you all for the help..
