Our alum and co-Founder of Infosys, Kris Gopalakrishnan, has set up 3 Chairs in computational brain research at IIT Madras with an Endowment of Rs. 10 crores each.
The three Chairs are being created in IITM to focus on computing aspects--architecture & model of the brain-- including the memory/ processor relationship and neuromorphic computing.

• The first Chair was endowed in December 2014 as the "Prof. Mahabala Distinguished Chair in Computational Brain Research" and has since been occupied by Dr. Partha Mitra (Cold Spring Harbor Lab, New York, USA).
• The 2nd Chair has been endowed in April 2015 as the "NR Narayana Murthy Distinguished Chair in Computational Brain Research" and has since been occupied by Prof. Mriganka Sur (MIT, Cambridge, USA).
• The 3rd Chair has been endowed in December 2015 as the "CR Muthukrishnan Distinguished Chair in Computational Brain Research" and has since been occupied by Prof. Anand Raghunathan (Purdue University, West Lafayette, USA) ..
