Early life and education

Ganesh Bagler was born and raised in Solapur, Maharashtra, where he completed his schooling at Sharada School and Siddheshwar High School, Solapur in the western peninsular Indian state of Maharashtra.[ citation needed ]

He pursued a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Physics from Sangameshwar College, affiliated with Shivaji University, graduating in 1997. Bagler continued his academic journey at the University of Hyderabad, earning a Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in Computational Techniques. He later joined the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology (CCMB) for his doctoral studies, where his Ph.D. research focused on the application of graph theoretical models to protein structures.[ citation needed ]

Career

After earning his Ph.D. from the Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology, where he focused on graph theoretical models of protein structures, Bagler completed postdoctoral research in computational neuroscience at the National Centre for Biological Sciences. He then worked at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics in Prof. Michael Lappe's (Otto Warburg Laboratory, Bioinformatics/Structural Proteomics) group in Germany on bioinformatics and structural proteomics. Returning to India, Bagler joined the CSIR-Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology as a scientist before moving to the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur as an assistant professor and later the Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology.[ citation needed ]

In March 2015, Bagler was removed from the position of assistant professor at the Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur. [7] [8] Students protested the termination. [7] [9] [10] [11] Bagler moved to Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology. [12] He became a professor at Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology. [6]

Research

Bagler's research focuses on identifying the molecules in food ingredients responsible for creating flavour and investigating how this information can be used to understand how various combinations taste and behave in the body without trial and error, which can be time consuming and wasteful.
