Opportunities

The lab always encourages bright students to avail the facilities to undergo training and learn cutting-edge research. In addition to JRF/Ph.D. positions that may be available from time to time from sponsored projects.

We also believe in giving opportunities to deserving students coming from Universities/institutions that do not have adequate resources to pursue their careers in research/industry.

Some examples include, but not limited to: 

  • Thesis work for M.Sc. students as part of their curriculum
  • Research training for postgraduates
  • Summer training for Masters students
