1995-1996: College de France, Physique de la Matiere Condensee, Paris, France with the Nobel Laureate Prof. Pierre-Gilles De Gennes.
"The College de France, which is an institute of higher education where basic research is jointly pursued and taught, was founded by Francois I, King of France from 1515 to 1547. Since its foundation, the role of the College has been conditioned by two factors its members are elected by the Professors from amongst eminent French scholars in a wide range of subjects; it does not set examinations nor does it award diplomas. The teaching does not deal with established knowledge but with knowledge in the making; it changes every year, in accordance with the latest research and has no pre-established pattern. The College de France is organized by chairs covering the whole range of disciplines. No university rank is required of the person who is put forward; all that count is the importance and originality of his or her work."
1993-1995: C.M.T.U., J. N. Center for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. Research Fellow

"1893, on board a ship called "Empress of India" sailing from Yokohama in Japan to Vancouver in Canada, an idea was born in a conversation between two extraordinary Indians - Jamshedji Tata, a great industrialist, and Swami Vivekananda, a great savant. Commenting on Tata's plans to start a steel mill, Vivekananda is believed to have told him that while manufacturing technology could be imported, India needed a base where research in science could thrive. The concept took seed in Tata`s mind and in 1909; the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) was set up in Bangalore.
"According to journal Current Science IISc currently ranks first in India in terms of research output (citation and impact factor). It also ranks first among Indian universities (and South Asian universities) in the "Academic ranking of world universities" conducted by the SJTU, China."
