by Aayush Rathi, Ambika Tandon, Sumandro Chattapadhyay — published May 19, 2020 — filed under: , , , , , , , ,

We received 29 applications from over 10 locations in India in response to the call, and are truly overwhelmed by and grateful for this interest and support. We eventually selected applications by 3 researchers that we felt aligned best with the specific objectives of the project. Please find below brief profile notes of the selected researchers.
