வாஷிங்டன், அக்.19: அமெரிக்க வாழ் இந்தியப் பேராசிரியர் சுப்ரா சுரேஷ், வாஷிங்டனில் உள்ள தேசிய அறிவியல் அறக்கட்டளை (என்.எஸ்.எப்) இயக்குநராக நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். அமெரிக்காவின் மிக உயர்ந்த அறிவியல் அமைப்பாக என்எஸ்எப் விளங்கிறது. இவரது நியமன உத்தரவை அமெரிக்க அதிபர் பராக் ஒபாமா உறுதி செய்துள்ளார்.

அறிவியல் சார்ந்த ஆராய்ச்சிக்கு ஒதுக்கப்படும் 740 கோடி டாலரை நிர்வகிக்கும் பொறுப்பு இவரிடம் அளிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளது. அறிவியல் மற்றும் பொறியியல் சார்ந்த ஆராய்ச்சிகளை ஊக்குவிக்கும் அமைப்பாக என்எஸ்எப் திகழ்கிறது. இதன்கீழ் 2,000 நிறுவனங்கள் செயல்படுகின்றன.

ஏற்கெனவே இப்பொறுப்பில் இருந்த ஜான் ஹோல்ட்ரன், அமெரிக்க அதிபரின் ஆலோசகராகப் பொறுப்பேற்றதைத் தொடர்ந்து இந்த அறக்கட்டளையின் 13-வது இயக்குநராக சுரேஷ் நியமிக்கப்பட்டுள்ளார். இவர் சென்னை ஐஐடி-யின் முன்னாள் மாணவர் என்பது குறிப்பிடத்தக்கது. பதவியேற்பு விழா திங்கள்கிழமையன்று வெள்ளை மாளிகையில் உள்ள எய்ஷ்னோவர் செயல் அலுவலகத்தில் நடைபெற்றது. 54 வயதாகும் சுரேஷ் இப்புதிய பொறுப்பில் 6 ஆண்டுகளுக்கு இருப்பார். இவரது நியமனத்துக்கு அமெரிக்க நாடாளுமன்ற செனட் கடந்த மாதம் 30-ம் தேதி ஒப்புதல் அளித்தது.

இயந்திரவியல் பொறியாளராக வாழ்க்கையைத் தொடங்கிய சுரேஷ் பின்னாளில் பொருள் அறிவியல், உயிரியல் ஆகிய துறைகளில் அதிக ஆர்வம் செலுத்தினார். பின்னர் ரத்த செல்களில் மலேரியாவை ஏற்படுத்தும் காரணிகள் சார்ந்த ஆராய்ச்சியில் ஈடுபட்டார்.

Dean Subra Suresh is the Vannevar Bush Professor of Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He holds joint faculty appointments in Materials Science and Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Biological Engineering, and Health Sciences and Technology at MIT, and served as head of the Department of Materials Science and Engineering from January 2000 to January 2006. He began his tenure as Dean of the School of Engineering in July 2007.

He received his bachelor of technology degree in first class with distinction from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, in 1977; his MS from Iowa State University in 1979; and his ScD from MIT in 1981. He also holds an honorary doctorate in engineering from Sweden's Royal Institute of Technology. Following postdoctoral research from 1981 to 1983 at the University of California at Berkeley and the Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory, he joined Brown University as an assistant professor of engineering in December 1983; he was promoted to full professor in July 1989. He joined MIT in 1993 as the R. P. Simmons Professor of Materials Science and Engineering.

Professor Suresh's current research focuses on experimental and computational studies of the mechanical responses of single biological cells and molecules and their implications for human health and diseases. His prior and ongoing work has also led to seminal contributions in the area of nano- and micro-scale mechanical properties of engineered materials.

He is the author of over 210 research articles in international journals, coeditor of five books, and coinventor on 14 US and international patents. More than 100 students, postdoctoral associates, and research scientists trained in his group occupy prominent positions in academe, industry, and government throughout the world. He has authored or coauthored three books: Fatigue of Materials, Fundamentals of Functionally Graded Materials, and Thin Film Materials.

Professor Suresh has been elected to a number of major science and engineering academies, including the US National Academy of Engineering (2002); American Academy of Arts and Sciences (2004); Indian National Academy of Engineering (2004, foreign member); TWAS, the academy of sciences for the developing world (2005); Indian Academy of Sciences (2005, honorary fellow); Spanish Royal Academy of Sciences (2007, honorary member); and German Academy of Sciences (2007).

He has been elected a fellow or honorary fellow in all the major materials societies in the United States and India, including the American Society for Materials International (ASM); Minerals, Metals and Materials Society (TMS); American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME); American Ceramic Society (ACerS); Indian Institute of Metals; and Materials Research Society of India.

He is the recipient of the 2007 European Materials Medal, the highest honor conferred by the Federation of European Materials Societies, and the 2006 Acta Materialia Gold Medal. In its March 2006 issue, MIT's Technology Review magazine selected Professor Suresh's work on nanobiomechanics as one of the top 10 emerging technologies that "will have a significant impact on business, medicine or culture."

Among other major awards and honors, he has received the Sauveur Achievement Award of the American Society for Materials International (2004); the Gordon Moore Distinguished Scholarship at California Institute of Technology (2004); the Brahm Prakash Professorship at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (2004); the Senior Humboldt Research Prize from the Humboldt Foundation, Germany (2004); the Distinguished Materials Scientist/Engineer Award from TMS (2001); the Clark B. Millikan Visiting Professorship at Caltech (1999), the TFR Swedish National Chair in Engineering at the Royal Institute of Technology, Stockholm (1997-98); the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras (1997); the Ross Coffin Purdy Award from the American Ceramic Society (1992); two Allied Signal Foundation Research Awards (1989 and 1990); the Technical Analysis Corporation Teacher Award at Brown University (1989); a Ford Foundation Research Award (1986-87); a Presidential Young Investigator Award from the National Science Foundation and the White House (1985-90); the Champion H. Mathewson Gold Medal (1985) from TMS; the Robert Lansing Hardy Gold Medal (1983) from TMS; an Outstanding Scientific Accomplishment Award from the US Department of Energy (1982); the Premium for Academic Excellence Award from Iowa State University (1977-79); and a National Merit Scholarship from the Government of India (1971-77).
