Dr. Pradeep Kodimana Ramakrishnan receives Walter Benjamin Grant of the German Research Foundation:

The German Research Foundation awards Dr.Pradeep Kodimana Ramakrishnan, a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Duisburg-Essen, the Walter Benjamin Grant. The Walter Benjamin Programme enables postdoctoral researchers at an early career phase who are associated with a German research institution or work there, to conduct independently a research project of their choice and to benefit from additional career-promoting conditions. The award finances the position for two years while the host institution covers additional project needs. The prize is named after Walter Benjamin, a German philosopher and cultural critic, who lived from 1892-1940.
