GC Anupama is a professor at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics and responsible for the Indian Astronomical Observatory. A Ph.D. in physics, she is an observing astronomer with experience studying transients. She is President of the Astronomical Society of India.

Subhasis Chattopadhyay, a senior research fellow at VECC-Kolkata, India, is involved in high energy experimental nuclear physics research and instrumentation. In addition to carrying out experiments at CERN-Geneva, STAR-BNL, he is currently coordinating India’s participation in the FAIR facility in Germany.

Shishir Deshpande has been a physicist at the Institute for Plasma Research in Gandhinagar since 1993. From 2007 to 2018 he worked as a project manager for the Indian Domestic Agency for ITER. His interests are tokamak physics and fusion science.

Joydeep Ghosh is Professor at the Institute for Plasma Research and heads the ADITYA-U Operations Division. He actively followed the operations and experiments in ADITYA-U. His current research interests include transportation and containment, disruption control and walk-through reduction in tokamaks, and plasma spectroscopy.

Rohini Godbole is Honorary Professor at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore. She is an internationally recognized theoretical physicist who has been working for more than four decades and is associated in many functions with CERN and the CERN-India cooperation program.

D. Indumathi works at the Institute of Mathematical Sciences, Chennai. She is interested in the interface between theory and experiment, a field called phenomenology, to understand particles like protons and neutrinos, their properties and interactions. She is also interested in popularizing science in general.

Tarun Souradeep is Professor at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER), Pune. He led a cosmology subgroup on cosmic microwave background studies and coordinated a national initiative for experimentation and science with gravitational waves. He is a member of the Secretariat of the Scientific Management Board and Scientific Spokesperson for LIGO-India.
