Vigneshwar Kumaran Sudalayandi Rajeswari passed his thesis defense titled “First-Principles Modeling of Polymer Degradation Kinetics and Virtual High-Throughput Screening of Candidates for Biodegradable Polymers” today and is now the 3rd MSc coming out of the group. Congrats, Vigneshwar, good job! Vigneshwar will stay on with the group for at least another few weeks to finish up some work and plan for his next adventures, so it’s not quite time yet to say goodbye.
