ICTS graduate student Rishabh Kaushik has been selected for the prestigious Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics (KITP) Graduate Fellowship Program.

The KITP Graduate Fellowship is a highly competitive program that selects a small number of outstanding graduate students from around the world and across all areas of theoretical physics each year. Fellows spend about five to six months in residence at KITP in Santa Barbara, where they participate in the institute’s research programs, interact with leading scientists, and pursue their own research projects. The fellowship provides full support during the stay.

During his visit, Rishabh will be mentored by Prof. David Gross. At ICTS, Rishabh has been working under the guidance of Prof. Rajesh Gopakumar.

ICTS warmly congratulates Rishabh on this achievement and wishes him the very best for his research during the fellowship and beyond.
