Undergraduate Research at IISER Pune

The B.S.-M.S. programme at IISER-Pune includes a year-long project, in the fifth year, during which students devote all their time to research. Students may work at IISER Pune or elsewhere in India. Apart from this, students also work on shorter research projects both in summer and winter.

The following is a list of some of the publications that have resulted from such projects (in each publication below, the name of the undergraduate student is highlighted in bold-face).
