PROJECTS

At META Lab projects are developed in close collaboration with the student to best suit their interest. With curiosity and joy as our guiding principles, our research projects evolve and emerge as reflections of our students' personalities. We encourage the lab members to integrate their interests in science, engineering, art, humanities, or any other mode of knowledge creation to formulate their projects. The projects are constantly improvised, with always an eye for unforeseen directions worth pursuing.

if you are interested in any of the following projects or would like to initiate a collaboration, please reach out to Abhishek.
