== Early life and education ==
Ganesh Bagler was born and raised in Solapur, Maharashtra, where he completed his schooling at Sharada School and Siddheshwar High School, [[Solapur]] in the western peninsular Indian state of [[Maharashtra]].{{Cn|date=April 2025}}

He pursued a Bachelor of Science (B.Sc.) degree in Physics from Sangameshwar College, affiliated with Shivaji University, graduating in 1997. Bagler continued his academic journey at the [[University of Hyderabad]], earning a Master of Technology (M.Tech.) in Computational Techniques. He later joined the [[Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology]] (CCMB) for his doctoral studies, where his Ph.D. research focused on the application of graph theoretical models to protein structures.{{Cn|date=April 2025}}

== Career ==
After earning his Ph.D. from the [[Centre for Cellular and Molecular Biology]], where he focused on graph theoretical models of protein structures, Bagler completed postdoctoral research in computational neuroscience at the [[National Centre for Biological Sciences]]. He then worked at the [[Max Planck Institute for Molecular Genetics]] in Prof. Michael Lappe's (Otto Warburg Laboratory, Bioinformatics/Structural Proteomics) group in Germany on bioinformatics and structural proteomics. Returning to India, Bagler joined the CSIR-[[Institute of Himalayan Bioresource Technology]] as a scientist before moving to the [[Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur]] as an assistant professor and later the [[Dhirubhai Ambani Institute of Information and Communication Technology]].{{Cn|date=April 2025}}

In March 2015, Bagler was removed from the position of assistant professor at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Jodhpur]].<ref name="Parmar-2015">{{cite news |last=Parmar |first=Ajay |date=3 April 2015 |title=Students want 'terminator' IIT-Jodhpur chief to go - Times of India |url=https://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/home/education/news/Students-want-terminator-IIT-Jodhpur-chief-to-go/articleshow/46792927.cms |website=[[The Times of India]]}}</ref><ref>{{Cite news |last=Mathew |first=Sunalini |date=2019-01-22 |title=Micro-chips: the scoop on computational gastronomy |url=https://www.thehindu.com/sci-tech/technology/microchips-computational-gastronomy-food-data-science-technology/article26058254.ece |access-date=2025-04-10 |work=[[The Hindu]] |language=en-IN |issn=0971-751X}}</ref> Students protested the termination.<ref name="Parmar-2015" /><ref>{{cite news |author= |date=3 April 2015 |title=IIT Jodhpur students urge Prez, HRD Minitsry to sack Director |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/iit-jodhpur-students-urge-prez-hrd-minitsry-to-sack-director-115040300947_1.html |access-date=2020-02-23 |newspaper=[[Business Standard India]] |publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |last=Anand |first=Kunal |date=2015-04-03 |title=These IIT Students Are Waging A Social Media War On Their Director |url=https://www.indiatimes.com/news/india/these-iit-students-are-waging-a-social-media-war-on-their-director-dictatorfreeiitj-231571.html |access-date=2020-02-23 |website=[[India Times]] |publisher=}}</ref><ref>{{cite news |author= |date=April 2015 |title=IIT-J students protest against faculty termination |url=https://www.business-standard.com/article/pti-stories/iit-j-students-protest-against-faculty-termination-115040101301_1.html |access-date=2020-02-23 |newspaper=[[Business Standard India]] |publisher=Business-standard.com}}</ref> Bagler moved to [[Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology]] and became a professor there.<ref name="Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology" />

== Research ==
Bagler's research focuses on identifying the molecules in food ingredients responsible for creating flavour and investigating how this information can be used to understand how various combinations taste and behave in the body without trial and error, which can be time consuming and wasteful.<ref name="Sathe-2018"/><ref name="Sathe-2019"/>
