Hello, Explorer!
I am Jyotisman Hazarika, a first-year PhD student in the Chemistry and Materials track at the Institute of Science and Technology Austria (ISTA). Currently, I am undertaking my lab rotation with the Ibáñez Group, working on solid-state syntheses of thermoelectric materials.

Roots and Origins
MAJULI
Every journey starts somewhere. Majuli, an island in the northeastern state of Assam, India, shaped the curiosity and imagination behind every project shared here. A place where tradition and nature weave stories, and where the first seeds of my exploration were planted.
