Research Scholar Event ================== The Research Scholar Event will showcase a cross-section of topics in which research is being actively pursued within India. We have invited four leading researchers to deliver tutorial presentations on their work. The target audience is fresh Ph.D students in the initial stages of their own research. For those who have not yet fixed an area to work in, this is an excellent opportunity to look for good research problems to work on. For those who have already chosen a topic, we expect that these lectures will provide a broad exposure to a variety of areas that could help reveal useful connections and trigger new insights in their own areas of specialization.
