Version 4.1 — Consolidated v4 feedback
Cloned from v4. Drops the accordion in favour of three side-by-side publications layouts (List image-right, List image-left, 2-col grid) with a toggle on the publications page. Removes abstracts from view, normalises author names, caps to one line with et al. People page picks up the new team photo, adds Harikrishnan, updates Nipun. Hides Join Us, Contact, and Partners. Top nav reduces to About, People, Research, Publications, Press, Outreach.

Version 4.2 — Alternating section backgrounds
Cloned from v4.1. Drops the horizontal divider lines between sections in favour of subtle alternating background blocks (canvas / linen), à la Polymatic AI. Staged side-by-side with v4.1 so Shravan can pick the winning treatment.

Version 4.3 — Kepler red giant lightcurve motif
Cloned from v4.1. Uses real KIC 6779699 light curve and PSD data from a Kepler red giant as a sitewide identity device: an ambient trace behind the homepage hero, LC-stripe section dividers, and a slow-scrolling marquee in the footer. Asks whether the group's own scientific data can replace generic chrome without becoming busy.

Version 4.4 — Consolidated v4.x feedback
Cloned from v4.1 (round-3 content: TeamCarousel, trimmed hero) with v4.2's alternating canvas/linen section backgrounds (no divider lines). Ships the new Lightcurve lockup logo in the nav + footer, updates the contact email to [email protected], adds UTM tracking to the Masonry footer credit, adds Asitang Mishra to scientific staff, refreshes the Avik/Anoop headshots, and swaps the first two team-carousel photos.
