We want our visitors to get a real life feel for the wide range of science and mathematics research at TIFR, where we work on almost everything from Astronomy to Zoology. Our M.Sc. and Ph.D. students will engage with the visitors and discuss a range of topics from battling microbes to understanding X-rays from stars, and from ultra-high power lasers to ultra-low temperature experiments”, Prof. Arnab Bhattacharya, Chairperson of the Outreach team.
