Welcome to my second episode of the ''Grass is Green'' Podcast. In this podcast, I invited Swaroop Kumar Palai, a #mariecurie PhD scholar pursuing his research in Quantum Optics using Lithography.

He has a tremendous track record in research, having published at least 3 publications in reputed journals. His research journey started at #nitrourkela in India. His pursuit for research excellence has taken him over to #iit Madras, Seoul National University in #southkorea, and ultimately to #cnrs lab in France.

In this video, we have delved into some interesting topics like the research in India vs research in Europe and struggles in South Korea - especially dealing with #racism in South Korea towards Indians.

We have also talked about European culture in different countries, how to find a funded PhD program in Europe, Living Expenses in France, etc. I hope you find this podcast insightful.
