My Unforgettable IIT Kharagpur Journey

Jan 9, 2024

I was on my way to IIT Kharagpur to present my research at the ICFM Conference 2024. Stepping off the train, the bustling campus buzzed with activity as students hurried between classes.

Presenting my research on "Charge to Spin Conversion at 2deg/SrTiO3 Interfaces" felt like a culmination of months of hard work. The supportive feedback from fellow researchers made it all worthwhile.

My exploration of West Bengal didn't end at the conference hall. I tried local street food, savoring phuchka, freshly brewed chai, and jhaal muri.

This trip to IIT Kharagpur and the ICFM Conference was an unforgettable experience, offering not just academic exchange, but also cultural immersion and the chance to connect with inspiring individuals from across the globe.

A Dream Come True: An Invaluable Encounter with Padma Shri H.C. Verma

Dec, 2023

Fulfilling a dream for many JEE aspirants, I had the incredible opportunity to meet Padma Shri H. C. Verma at his inspiring NGO, "Siksha Sopan." As a PhD student, this encounter was truly humbling. We engaged in a thought-provoking conversation for hours, discussing the importance of nurturing a scientific temper in young minds, all while enjoying a cup of tea.

Beyond the insightful dialogue, Sir Verma generously offered a glimpse into his world. He proudly showcased his organic farm, bursting with freshly grown vegetables like potatoes, tomatoes, onions, and carrots – a testament to his dedication to sustainable living.

Our interaction extended even further, as we embarked on a collaborative project with Sir Verma. We're currently developing in-house experimental devices to facilitate accessible science learning for college students at the Siksha Sopan Ashram, making it easier for them to conduct experiments without any hassle.

I am incredibly grateful to my PhD guide, Prof. Rohit Medwal, for facilitating this unforgettable experience and connecting me with such a renowned personality.
