Aditya Jeevannavar (Eggsy)
Sophomore Undergrad, Biological Sciences

The punniest guy in the group irritating at times but mostly amusing, his curly hair, dimple chins and rosy lips have driven people crazy. An enthusiastic quizzer, plays basketball and uses lame puns in his free time. He is known for his insightful ideas and his aversion to computational biology.

Gopinath Shanmugam (Gopi 65)
Senior Undergrad, Biological Engineering

Our Co-Team Leader, Gopi as we all affectionately call him, is not new to iGEM. He is as polite as he is kind. Gopi is a self-proclaimed insomniac and spends his nights doing sketches. He can be seen with a peacock feather on his head and a flute in his hand at random times of the day (Just like our writer got inspired here). Calm and composed, he always does stuff after a thorough investigation of all possible outcomes. “Fueled by BIRIYANI and PAROTTAS." Read more about him on his Wikipedia page

Kailash BP (Nalla thambi)
Junior Undergrad, Biological Engineering

Lord commander of the data watch. Was given the title Nalla Thambi(Tamil: good little brother) for sincerity and addressing seniors as Anna(Tamil: big brother). Hails from Chennai, goes home once a fortnight and returns with homemade food! Fluent in many languages including English, Tamil, Telugu, C, Perl, and Python. As a side project in a parallel universe he is working on turning himself into Pickle Rick.

Karthik D (KD)
Senior Undergrad, Biological Sciences

One of the friendliest persons that you’ll ever meet in the institute, his single mantra to lead a simple life: Put Peace. Sometimes he puts so much peace that he starts mugging (read studying) only from 6am for an 8am quiz. One simple way of offending him is to say something bad about Bangalore. Called the Team Leader with respect, he is an expert at coding and can learn literally anything in one single day. He doesn’t wish to depend on others and aims to stand on his own legs in his own farm.

DVSSS Kushal Kumar Reddy (Yellow Pages)
Sophormore Undergrad, Biological Sciences

Digavinti Venkat Shiva Satya Sai Kushal Kumar Reddy is a super stud who has successfully managed 10 Positions Of Responsibility without breaking a sweat. Known for his infinite contacts all over the world, he is fondly called Yellow Pages. He’s an unpaid guest at his own house, one who uses it for bed, bath, and nothing beyond. In addition to all these superpowers, he has got one more to his bag: Multilingualism.

Mayur Chhorriya (Toofan)
Junior Undergrad, Biological Engineering

When you’re so innocent that nobody doubts you even after visiting Guwahati and Goa. Having allegedly published his own research paper at such an young age, this born prodigy is also an alleged nobel laureate. Not to mention the fact, that Professors from Russia allegedly come all the way to Guwahati just to take him as an intern. His intern atrocities are worth lending your ears to.

Mohammed Faidh (Loveguru)
Junior Undergrad, Biological Sciences

Mizaan is known for making witty and waggish remarks at the right times. He is a gregarious person and is fun to be around. He is a huge bibliophile and at any random time of the day he can be spotted with a novel novel (yes, you read that twice) in his hand. His love for organic chemistry runs deep and he makes subtle puns on it. A self acclaimed Mysore Pak supplier. He is an animal lover (especially cats) and is passionate about photography and could be spotted with his DSLR during his leisure time.
