The winners for 2021-22 were announced at the induction ceremony of the new IAR team held on Sunday, 26 June 2022.

First Prize: Aniket Singh Rajpoot (CS) and Arjun (EE) for the project Emotion Recognition through EEG signals mentored by Dr. Mahesh Raveendranatha Panicker. The project was started informally based on the idea conceived by the two students and later formalised and run as an OELP project. It resulted in two significant publications and the release of openly available codes.

Second Prize: Gokul Nath S J (EE) for the project Design and Characterization of Ultra-Wideband Antennas for Biomedical and Security Applications utilizing Microwave Imaging Techniques done in collaboration with Athul O Asok, PhD scholar, and mentored by Dr Sukomal Dey.
