"I am super impressed with Aravind Puthirath Balan, who spent a short time in my lab during his PhD days. His appetite for knowledge and his motivation to accomplish challenging work was clear. In a short time in my lab he laid the foundation of a work on non-van der Waals 2D materials which would later be published in Nature Nanotechnology and well cited subsequently. Aravind is an excellent, creative researcher with an ability to deliver exciting results."
