Highlights
The human side of two decades of research
A research life is more than publications. Here is the lab mantra that drives it, the family that supported it, the experts encountered along the way, and the gratitude of a team on the other side of the world.
Lab Mantra
"No matter what happens, keep doing your thesis."
The single rule posted in the composite materials lab at Kalasalingam University — and lived by every student who passed through it.
Work-Life Balance
Research is a family affair
Most of two decades were spent at the research lab — and the family came along. Children grew up around composite specimens and testing rigs. That shared life is part of what made the work possible.
