* Adithya passed away in a tragic bus accident in 28 February 2018. He was only 27 who came to us with high hope, energy and dedication to make meaningful social change to the world. We had kept in touch since he had left the lab, and I was looking forward to visit him and learn about his new venture. Unfortunately, that day never came. RIP.
