My work is on Polymers. I think and hope this collaboration should increase and more student exchange programmes between the two universities should be there. I am doing a project at Artificial Intelligence Laboratory, of the Computer Science Department, under Professor Boi Faltings and Mr. Steve Willmott. The aim is to study biologically inspired reinforcement learning algorithms in commucication networks and possible extensions to data networks. The lab has good facilities and people are very helpful.
Weekends are real fun - the picturesque city of Lausanne comes to life.
The people at the EPFL are very helpful and frank about their thoughts. The standard of education is good here, which in my opinion is more practical than theoretical oriented. I hope that these ties between the PFL and the IITs grow and students from the EPFL visit the IITs for adding a new variation to their education. I think would continue to do so. I will miss the EPFL and Lausanne a lot when I leave.
