Swati Mukherjee
About Me:
I’m a PhD researcher studying how to create tiny materials that are invisible to the naked eye but can change the way surfaces behave. By using special techniques, I grow these materials one layer at a time to develop cool structures that can send information using laser light. This work is at the cutting edge of science, combining light and electronics to revolutionize communication technology!

Arman Azizi
About Me:
I am a researcher in the field of Electrical Engineering, Artificial Intelligence, and Mathematics.
I’m really into math because it’s like a big puzzle waiting to be solved. Math isn’t just about numbers and formulas; it’s actually a way of understanding the world around us. Think about how we use math for everything from building skyscrapers to figuring out how fast a car is moving or even understanding the patterns in nature! For me, solving math problems is like going on a little adventure. You start with a question, use a bit of creativity, and then, with some logic, you find the answer.
