Jagran correspondent, Kanpur. Two scientists from IIT Kanpur, Prof. Amit Aggarwal and Prof. Yogesh Chauhan has been made a fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences. While Prof. Sanjay Mittal has been awarded the APSCM Computational Mechanics Award, the latest in a series of prestigious global honours. IIT Director Prof. Manindra Aggarwal has described it as a moment of achievement and pride for the institute. Selection as a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences (IASC) is considered a prestigious honor in the Indian scientific community. It is given to those scientists who have consistently excelled with outstanding contributions in their respective fields. Pro. Amit Agarwal is a physicist working in the field of theoretical condensed matter. He is internationally recognized for his distinguished work on quantum many-body effects and transport properties in low-dimensional systems. His research in topological materials and nanoscale device modeling recently earned him the prestigious Science Youth Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for 2025.
Pro. Yogesh Singh Chauhan is in the Department of (Electrical Engineering) and is an expert in semiconductor device modeling. He is recognized globally for designing integrated circuits in mobile phones, 5G technology and space applications.
Professor Sanjay Mittal of the Department of Aerospace Engineering, IIT, has been awarded the prestigious 'Computational Mechanics Award' by the Asia Pacific Association for Computational Mechanics (APACM). He has been given this honor at the inaugural ceremony of the '9th Asia-Pacific Congress on Computational Mechanics (Epcam 2025)' held in Brisbane, Australia. This honor is given only once every three years, hence it is a very prestigious honor at the global level.
Professor Mittal's research is based on the important intersection between advanced mathematics and aerospace. He has given new direction to the methods of understanding the dynamics of fluids and structural strength of aircraft through computer simulation.
