Ep. 29 : Conversation with Jasjeet Singh Bagla - Astrophysicist intrigued by the learning process

Jasjeet is an astrophysicist exploring the cosmos and is intrigued by the learning process. He is a Professor at IISER-Mohali: https://web.iisermohali.ac.in/Faculty/jasjeet/index.html In this 2-hour+ conversation, we discuss his biography - a journey through Agra, Delhi, IUCAA-Pune, Cambridge, Harvard and back to India. We discuss his work on N-body simulations in the context of cosmology, TreePM, teaching, mentorship and learning process. Also a short segment in Punjabi. Listen as we humanize science..
