Deepayan Chakraborty is a student at The International School of Bangalore (TISB). He is passionate about scientific exploration and social impact. His independent research explores time dilation through Einstein’s Theory of Relativity. He is particularly interested in how these concepts could affect space travel.
Deepayan is also gaining practical experience through an internship at Genex Space, an educational partner of ISRO. He has worked on aerospace engineering projects, including remote-control planes and chemical rockets. His upcoming research project will explore the optimal airfoil shape for aircraft wings.
Beyond science, Deepayan is committed to helping underprivileged children access education. He contributes to Hold a Hand, a project that teaches science, arts, mathematics, and English to children in rural China. By 2024, the programme had expanded to more than three schools, reaching numerous students.
Deepayan also founded the Space and Physics Education Initiative. The organisation aims to introduce children from underprivileged backgrounds to space and physics. With support from Genex Space, the initiative plans to reach more schools and inspire young learners.
Research on an Intelligent Rover for Mars
Deepayan recently achieved an important academic milestone. His research paper, “Design and Development of a Novel Multifunction Intelligent Rover for Mars,” was accepted at the MIT Undergraduate Research Technology Conference (MIT URTC 2024).
MIT students organise this conference in collaboration with IEEE. It brings together researchers, academics, engineers, and students to share their work and exchange ideas.
This achievement highlights Deepayan’s interest in aerospace engineering and space exploration. Congratulations to Deepayan on this remarkable accomplishment!
