The research work of gold medal winners at the convocation of Indian Institute of Science (IISc) expands across various fields like aerospace engineering, medical imaging, neuroscience, physics, applied physics, and many more.
A conversation with some of these awardees gives a peek into the work they are doing at the institute, which has applications in the field of health, technology, and even studies that are similar to the work Elon Musk is doing.
When Shubhankar Saha came to the city in 2018 from West Bengal to join IISc, he was scared and nervous about the life that awaited him. Come 2022, he was conferred a gold medal for his work in the Department of Biological Sciences. He has enrolled into an integrated PhD programme. “This certification is for my master’s attached to my PhD degree. I have now joined the Centre for Neuroscience and am in the second year of PhD, which is where I am doing really interesting work in our monkey lab,” he said.
