Bhaskaran says, "What gives me happiness is that I have managed to do many things beyond research in my career so far – this includes mentoring PhD students and postdocs, holding leadership positions in the Higher Degrees by Research space (and that has helped enhance the research environment at my workplace) as well as contributing to the gender diversity space." Bhaskaran currently serves with the Expert Advisory Group to the Australian Government's Decadal Plan for Women in STEM and recently attended an APEC Women in STEM workshop 'Making the Case for APEC Women in STEM‑Partnership and Impact’.
