I am S. Sai Kumar, and I recently completed my Ph.D. from IIT Guwahati. My conversation with Madhavan Sir was quite insightful. The discussion began with various approaches to applying for postdoctoral positions, followed by the importance of a well-crafted cover letter. He also provided valuable suggestions on refining research ideas (integrating past Ph.D. experience with the present state of art), both during the search process and after securing a postdoctoral position.
