So great to meet Shreeya Mhade in Pune and hear about all the wonderful work she is doing (and going to do)! And, I am not at all surprised.
Shreeya published FOUR papers and led TWO research projects during a brief two year stint with my former group.
Thank you for appreciating The Real Deal and so great to see 'her' with you. ๐ ๐
