BENGALURU: Professor Urbasi Sinha from the Raman Research Institute (RRI) has been selected as a Distinguished International Associate by the Royal Academy of Engineering in the UK for the 2024-2025 program cycle, an RRI release on Tuesday read.
Sinha, who heads the Quantum Information and Computing (QuIC) laboratory at RRI, is among just 11 academics globally chosen for the fellowship this year.The theme for this round is “Technologies for the Future.”
“As a Distinguished International Associate, Sinha will receive up to £10,000 for RRI to support collaborative scientific activities and research with her UK partner, Professor Adrian Kent from the University of Cambridge. Her work focuses on developing secure quantum communications using satellites and other photonic quantum technologies,” the release read.
Stating that she was delighted and honoured, Sinha said: “Having studied in the UK at Cambridge, I’m excited for this opportunity to renew formal ties and further expand the global reach of our quantum research in India.”
RRI said that the awardees will be the ambassadors seeking to inspire and engage peers, spark collaboration and communicate the value of their partnerships. It added that the programme enhances the existing international engineering research and innovation collaborations between the UK and other countries to create societal benefit.
“Further, the Distinguished International Associate programme will present Prof Sinha with an opportunity to be involved and stay connected in the activities of the Academy extending beyond the stipulated programme. And this engagement would include joining the Awardee Excellence Community,” RRI added.
RRI, founded by Nobel laureate CV Raman in 1948, is a premier fundamental research institution pursuing cutting-edge work in physics across astronomy, light and matter, soft condensed matter, and theoretical physics.
