Ep. 50 : Conversation with Sudipta Maiti : Exploring Molecular Biophysics with Light


Listen Later

Sudipta is a molecular biophysicist who uses light and spectroscopy to study biologically relevant

questions. He is a Professor at TIFR, Mumbai: http://www.biophotonics.co.in/

In this episode, we discussed

what drew him to biophysics, his journey in establishing biophotonics as a
research area in India, his motivation to start the FCS workshop and his
thoughts on science in India. There are many other strands of discussion
related to the pursuit of science, which the listeners may enjoy and learn
from.

Listen as we humanize science.
