About Ramanujan Lab

Where Ideas Matter More Than Credentials

Our Story

Ramanujan Lab exists to nurture genuine intellectual curiosity and scientific exploration, regardless of formal credentials. Inspired by Srinivasa Ramanujan—the self-taught mathematical genius whose brilliance transcended institutional boundaries—we believe groundbreaking ideas can emerge from anywhere.

Ramanujan's story is powerful: a clerk with almost no formal training who made extraordinary contributions to mathematics because someone (G.H. Hardy) recognized his talent and provided resources and mentorship. That's exactly what we're building, but systematically.

What We Do

Research Support

We provide laboratory facilities, equipment, and materials needed to conduct genuine scientific experiments and investigations.

Mentorship & Guidance

Connect with experienced researchers and scientists who guide your work with wisdom and objectivity, helping refine hypotheses and methodologies.

Publication Platform

Share your findings with the world. We help independent researchers document and publish their work through peer-reviewed articles and open-access platforms.

Community of Seekers

Join a collaborative network of curious minds exploring questions across disciplines—from mathematics and physics to biology, engineering, and beyond.

Our Guiding Principle

कर्मण्येवाधिकारस्ते मा फलेषु कदाचन।
मा कर्मफलहेतुर्भूर्मा ते सङ्गोऽस्त्वकर्मणि॥
Karmanye vadhikaraste ma phaleshu kadachana,
Ma karma phala hetur bhur ma te sangostva akarmani
"You have the right to perform your duty, but never to the fruits of your actions. Let not the results be your motive, nor let your attachment be to inaction."

- Bhagavad Gita (2.47)

This timeless teaching reminds us that the pursuit of knowledge itself is the reward. We focus on the sincerity of inquiry, the rigor of exploration, and the joy of discovery—not recognition, prestige, or accolades.

Our Code of Ethics

The principles that guide our work

Integrity First

All research must be conducted with complete honesty. We have zero tolerance for fabrication, falsification, or plagiarism.

Intellectual Humility

We acknowledge what we don't know. Uncertainty is not weakness—it's the foundation of genuine inquiry.

Open Collaboration

Knowledge belongs to humanity. We encourage open sharing of methods, data, and findings while respecting intellectual property rights.

Respect for All

Every researcher, regardless of background, deserves dignity and respect. We foster an inclusive environment free from discrimination.

Safety & Responsibility

All experiments must prioritize safety—for researchers, communities, and the environment. We follow established protocols and ethical guidelines.

Merit Over Credentials

We evaluate ideas based on their scientific validity, creativity, and potential impact—not on the degrees or affiliations of those who propose them.

Duty to Truth

Our commitment is to discovery, not to predetermined outcomes. We follow evidence wherever it leads, even when it contradicts our expectations.

The Ramanujan Legacy

Srinivasa Ramanujan (1887-1920) was a largely self-taught Indian mathematician who made extraordinary contributions to mathematical analysis, number theory, infinite series, and continued fractions.

Despite having almost no formal training in pure mathematics, Ramanujan made substantial contributions to the field. His story embodies our mission: raw genius and dedication can transcend institutional barriers when given the right support.

"An equation means nothing to me unless it expresses a thought of God."
