During my research tenure, I had the opportunity to meet and attend the public lectures of renowned Nobel Laureates like Klaus von Klitzing, Walter Kohn, Peter Grünberg, Sir John Gurdon, Hiroshi Amano, and Shinya Yamanaka has been truly inspiring, gaining firsthand insight into their groundbreaking work. The research training I received from—Prof. C. K. Maiti, Prof. Rafel Kleiman, Prof. Hans Jurgen Mattusch, and Prof. Mitiko Miura-Mattausch —has continuously guided me on the path of scientific and technical explorations.  

After two decades in research, I have realized that my goal is to be a true researcher, not to win awards or hold positions.  — by Dr. Tapas Kumar Maiti
