    • Training and education in the use of optical instruments.
  • Suvrajit Saha,  research scholar in Jitu Mayor's group
    • BSc in Microbiology (Hons.), Physics and Chemistry from University of Calcutta. Recipient of the Senior Science Scholarship from Jagadis Bose National Science Talent Search (JBNSTS) during his undergraduate studies.
    • cell membrane organization using multiple advanced fluorescence and biophysical tools.
  • Dr. Sudip Mondal, neuronal transport
    • B.Sc. degree (Physics Honours) from St. Xavier's College, University of Kolkata in the year 2001. M.S. and Ph.D from Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.
    • Post-doc at NCBS with Dr. Sandhya P. Koushika, developing microfluidic devices for in vivo studies of neuronal transport in different model organisms such as C. elegans and Drosophila larvae.
  • Albina Nirupa obtained her B.E in Instrumentation & Control Engineering from Saranathan College of Engineering, Anna University in the year 2008. She joined her M.S in Electrical Engineering at IITM in June 2010. She has worked on projects like ITaG- a mobile platform for kids with cerebral palsy, HOPE- a simple sentence constructor with text to speech for users with early literacy skills and limited mobility, OTDR- Optical Time domain Reflectometer for which she has designed a front end user interface. She is working (with Prof. Anil Prabhakar) on the optoelectronic design for a flow cytometer.
  • Abhijit Majumdar did his B.E in Chemical Engg. from REC Durgapur. In 2002, he joined the Cryogenic Engineering
    Center in IIT Kharagpur for his M.Tech where he worked on CFD simulation of a vortex tube air separator, and followed it with a PhD in Chemical Engineering from IIT Kanpur studying the effects of sub-surface micro-pattern on adhesion. Taking clues from nature, we embedded microfluidic channels inside a thin layer of elastic adhesive (PDMS) and studied its effect on adhesion. We found that depending upon the geometry and fluid used, adhesion can be varied from zero to 50 times compare to that of an unstructured adhesive layer. In February 2010, he joined inStem, Bangalore as a post-doctoral fellow in a collaborative project with Prof. J. Dhawan and Prof. J. Karp, MIT-Harvard Health Science and Technology.
