Shyams Phd

 Shyam after completing Mtech in Engineering physics in IIT BHU had two options in front of him .

Get a lucrative corporate job , but more of a marketing one, unrelated to what he studied ,

or to chose the academic research path ,more tougher less paying ,and longer number of years .

He chose the latter .

Got a PhD scholarship from Australian National university in Canberra in computational Astrophysics .

Today was a decisive day for him as he presented his Thesis colloquium to his peers and coleagues in ANU .

We were lucky to watch it by Zoom .

Though highly technical ,we did understand that in the process he devised a code called Vettam or brightness in Malayalam to find out a way out of a bottle neck.

It was all Stars ,Sun's ,Distant galaxies ,Infra reds and computational simulations,

but to us his parents it was our little one reaching his chosen career .

He is the Sun we know in detail .

Shyam has been selected by Rutger university and Flat iron institute in New york for a four year post doctoral research scholar position and will join in some time .

At the end of it all we had was gratitude and prayers and happiness at his achievement
