This episode discusses his intellectual journey from Silchar-IIT-Gauhati-IISc/JNCASR Bengaluru-U Chicago- IISER-Pune. Through this journey, we learn how he developed an interest and expertise in material chemistry and his emerging work on perovskite semiconducting nanocrystals and their use in cutting-edge technology.

I am sceptical about ranks/metrics.
Someone informed me that my podcast was rated highly in a database of science-related podcasts from India. It seems perplexity AI also shows similar results (see images)

My learning: Open-source, non-commercial, individual ventures can have some impact

Let me reiterate :

Value of knowledge cannot be captured entirely using metrics, ranks, views, likes and number of subscribers on social media platforms.

The quality & depth of engagement are hard to measure & the world is nonlinear

I have done zero adverts./marketing 😀

But I must thank
a) ppl who have been guests on the podcast. They have been very generous with their time & knowledge.
b) listeners who engage with long-form content (even when I talk solo😆)
They deserve more credit.

Science zindabad!

Jasjeet is an astrophysicist exploring the cosmos and is intrigued by the learning process.

He is a Professor at IISER-Mohali: https://web.iisermohali.ac.in/Faculty/jasjeet/index.html

In this 2 hour+ conversation, we discuss his biography – a journey through Agra, Delhi, IUCAA-Pune, Cambridge, Harvard and back to India.

We discuss his work on N-body simulations in the context of cosmology, TreePM, teaching, mentorship and learning process. Also, a short segment in Punjabi.
