This year, the NASI award has been given to 17 scientists across India. Dr. Suri is one of the three awardees this year for physical sciences (Electronics, Computer Science and Engineering).

Dr. Suri is an integral part and an active member of the France alumni community. He was invited to present his testimony as a young alumni at the launch of the France Alumni India Chapter in 2016. He works tirelessly to keep the French connections alive by working with his ex-French colleagues who are now collaborators to promote Indo-French joint research in domains such as nanotechnology and neuromorphic engineering. He is also a key contributor in many of the education and scientific projects planned for the upcoming Bonjour India 2017-18.

‘It means a lot to be honored by this award. I am grateful to my alma mater INP-Grenoble and CEA-LETI for the excellent scientific training that I received during my PhD. I would also like to thank my research group at IIT-Delhi. Thanks to the education and mentoring I received at Grenoble, I try to ensure that students have access to a strong international perspective on R&D, opportunities to participate and gain from important collaborative Indo-French research initiatives that we are trying to build with our French partners’, says Dr Suri.
