The 57th convocation of IIT Delhi, with our Prime Minister as the Chief Guest, held on 08 August 2026 was special to our lab 𝗦𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘁 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗗𝘆𝗻𝗮𝗺𝗶𝗰𝘀 𝗟𝗮𝗯 in several ways. It not only marked 20th year of our lab but also witnessed achieving doctoral head trick. All three doctoral theses culminated in solving real-world problems by innovative product development with real-life applications. It is a matter of pride for me as mentor to introduce each one to the world.

𝗗𝗿. Sreenitya Singamsetty (to my left side in first picture) compeleted her PhD thesis on topic 𝗡𝗼𝗻-𝗥𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗲𝗮𝗿 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗶𝗴𝘂𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝗣𝗶𝗲𝘇𝗼𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗿𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗿𝗮𝗻𝘀𝗱𝘂𝗰𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗘𝗻𝗲𝗿𝗴𝘆 𝗛𝗮𝗿𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴. Dr. Naveet Kaur from CSIR-CRRI was Co-guide. Also seen in the picture is her daughter 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗻𝗶, who cooperated a lot with her mom during the entire PhD. Being daughter of working couple, sometimes 𝗦𝗿𝗶 𝗔𝘀𝗵𝗻𝗶 used to come to lab. But she did her best to be engrossed in study or artwork so as not to disturb her mom.

On my right side is another star performer 𝗗𝗿. 𝗦𝗵𝗶𝗽𝗿𝗮 𝗣𝗿𝗮𝗸𝗮𝘀𝗵, who completed her doctoral thesis on topic 𝗖𝗮𝗿𝗯𝗼𝗻 𝗡𝗮𝗻𝗼𝘁𝘂𝗯𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝗽𝗲𝗱 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗳-𝗦𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝘁𝗲 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗠𝘂𝗹𝘁𝗶-𝗙𝘂𝗻𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗿𝗮𝗺𝗲𝘄𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗛𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵 𝗠𝗼𝗻𝗶𝘁𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗔𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴. Her thesis led to the filing of a patent.

Standing in the second picture is third doctoral graduate 𝗗𝗿. 𝗡𝗮𝗺𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗮 𝗔𝗴𝗿𝗮𝗵𝗮𝗿𝗶 who worked on the topic 𝗟𝗮𝗯 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗙𝗶𝗲𝗹𝗱 𝗜𝗻𝘃𝗲𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗼𝗻 𝗖𝗼𝘄-𝗱𝘂𝗻𝗴 𝗕𝗮𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗕𝗿𝗶𝗰𝗸𝘀 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗮𝗹𝗹𝘆 𝗘𝗳𝗳𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗦𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗯𝗹𝗲 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗿𝘂𝗰𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻. Her contributions shall go in long way towards IKS inspired sustainable construction. Prof. Virendra Kumar Vijay and Prof. Ajay Saini were other Supervisors.

Traditionally, women students from our lab have always outshined in careers and these three Laxmis shall be no exception in taking the nation towards Viksit Bharat 2047.
