Conference travel has been the main occasion so far β€” most recently the 14th Asia-Pacific Conference on Combustion (ASPACC 2023), held in Kaohsiung, Taiwan, with a side trip to Taipei. Chess took me to a few campuses during the M.Tech years at Nirma University, and there’s been some exploring around Chennai during the PhD besides.
