SBS Lab Welcomes Dr. Rajiv Prakash, Director of IIT Bhilai

Last week we were delighted to welcome Dr. Rajiv Prakash, Director of IIT Bhilai. We have worked with him on various projects throughout the past years. His visit led to fruitful meetings with Penn State’s leadership. He also gave a research seminar titled “Endeavors of a Youngest IIT Towards Sustainable Development: A Global Perspective.” This seminar was very insightful for the student and faculty attendees. We thank the Penn State leadership for their support and interactions during this visit. We look forward to extending our lab collaborations to deeper institutional collaborations.
