Focus of REDD Lab
Benefit for society is not in doing great things, but doing the small things which are missed by most of the great people.
Our focus is to work on the issues which are missed by most of the people.
Application of ideas and technology (software and hardware based) used by High Energy community for the benefit of the society.
Software development for improvement in analysis.
Physics analysis and data reduction.
