Konnifel was founded to democratise access to research and enable meaningful knowledge transfer from experienced researchers to the next generation of scholars. We take pride in every Konnifel member, regardless of inclusion in the Success Report, for earning the opportunity to engage directly with mentors, professors, scientists and universities. Each research experience builds scientific rigor, critical thinking and academic maturity. We recognise the persistence and curiosity that research demands and value every effort made along the way. Your journey is cumulative and every step matters. We are proud to support you and remain committed to your growth. The future of research is shaped by you and Konnifel stands with you throughout your journey.
Recognising the top 100 projects under university professors and researchers worldwide that Konnifel members worked on, as research interns, assistants and fellows. The projects were directly under the professors and the candidates added valuable contributions. These descriptions can be referred to as inspiration and guidance for fellow members to understand how best they can contribute to their internships, assistantships and fellowships.
Intern: Samudraneel Sarkar, B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering, Motilal Nehru National Institute of Technology, Allahabad, RRAT Score:91.89
Professor: Head PRSD, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO)
This internship focused on applying machine learning and deep learning techniques to process and analyze multispectral remote sensing images under the supervision of Head PRSD, Indian Institute of Remote Sensing, Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO). The goal was to classify specific image features such as crops, forest regions, disaster-affected zones, and stubble burning areas. Interns worked with fuzzy ML models using Java and advanced image transformation techniques using Python. Interns gained valuable hands-on experience in high-dimensional data processing. One intern worked on spectral feature extraction and signature-guided band selection to improve classification accuracy, directly contributing to ISRO’s research objectives. Their methods led to more efficient analysis of satellite images by identifying and using only the most relevant spectral bands. Another intern participated in regular weekly research meetings, contributing to the implementation of core project code, with the long-term goal of publishing a research paper. This internship enhanced the participants’ understanding of spectral analysis, deep learning for image processing, and practical remote sensing applications. The project produced code modules and analytical outputs that advanced ongoing research efforts and built a foundation for future academic publication.
Intern: Nilabh Pandey, B.Tech in Computer Science Engineering, Vellore Institute of Technology, Vellore (VIT Vellore), RRAT Score:90.74
Professor: Senior Lecturer, University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom
This highly prestigious research project allows selected candidates to work in a hybrid format directly with PhD scholars under the mentorship of a faculty member at the University of Portsmouth, United Kingdom. The candidates are engaging in advanced computational chemistry and AI/ML–driven biomedical research, with a focus on developing next-generation computational models of the Blood–Brain Barrier (BBB). As part of the project, candidates are engaging in high-performance molecular dynamics simulations using GROMACS, implementing complex BBB modelling workflows, and applying machine-learning techniques to analyse large-scale simulation data and improve predictive accuracy. They also contributed to documenting methodologies, computational pipelines, and scientific results following international research and publication standards. Through close collaboration with active researchers and doctoral scholars, candidates are engaging in a rigorous academic environment that strengthens their computational expertise, research acumen, and preparedness for future postgraduate or PhD-level work in biomedical modelling, AI-assisted drug delivery, and computational chemistry.
Intern: Esha Jaiswal, M.A in English Literature, Miranda House, University of Delhi , RRAT Score:75.79
Professor: Assistant Professor, Kamala Nehru College, University of Delhi
As part of the Critical Theory and Interpretation Internship, scholars engaged in advanced literary analysis through frameworks such as Feminism, Marxism, Postcolonialism, Psychoanalysis, and Reader-Response Theory. The internship emphasized close reading, contextual research, and theoretical interpretation to uncover deeper cultural and philosophical meanings within texts. Interns analyzed works through critical lenses inspired by Adorno, Foucault, and Kristeva, preparing analytical essays and presentations that connected literature to social and ideological structures. They also participated in seminars and workshops on literary theory, enhancing their skills in critical argumentation, academic writing, and interdisciplinary reasoning. The internship fostered scholarly rigor and interpretive depth, preparing participants for research and publication in literary criticism and cultural studies.
This section presents the research work and academic outcomes achieved by Konnifel members through direct mentorship from professors, scientists, and researchers across universities and institutions worldwide. It reflects the quality of research engagement, intellectual rigor, and disciplined learning that define the Konnifel ecosystem. By highlighting selected projects and contributions, in this section, Konnifel likes to document the impact of these research experiences and offers practical insight and motivation for members seeking to build strong, meaningful research profiles.
