Anand Hardikar: a scientific nomad searching for the truth

Drawing inspiration and ideas from other fields is something Anandwardhan (Anand) Awadhoot Hardikar is passionate about. "Every successful researcher needs to have an open mind about what is around them", says Anand. Whether it's utilising game theory or bird migration patterns in his own research or encouraging his students to present unfamiliar papers at journal club, thinking outside of the box is key to Anand's work.
