“I am delighted to be a finalist for the Inspiring Science Awards this year. I would like to thank the organizers for their commitment over the years to recognize academic contributions from India, especially for highlighting the students involved. This study was a team effort and would not have been possible without my co-authors Dr. Aalok Varma and Prof. Vatsala Thirumalai. I also wish to acknowledge the excellent scientific environment and facilities at the NCBS, Bangalore, for contributing immensely to this effort and in general for my development as an independent researcher.”
