Harsh Gupta
PhD Student
I worked in Infosys for two years, then graduated with an MTech from the Department of ECE, NIT Srinagar. I love playing Chess, Badminton and guitar. I love interacting with people and filling my empty notebook with their stories. As an engineer open to learning anything except biology.
Mainak Bhattacharyya

I graduated with an MSc from the Department of Physics, NIT Jamshedpur, in May 2023. Also, the recipient of the Chanakya PG fellowship funded by i-HUB, IISER Pune. Well, I am just a guy who finds it difficult to understand the prescribed theories of natural dynamics. Always ready for a cup of coffee and biriyani from my dear Kolkata.
