The Infosys Science Foundation announced yesterday the winners of the Infosys Prize 2011, recognizing outstanding contributions inward scientific query across 5 categories - Mathematical Sciences, Physical Sciences, Engineering in addition to Computer Science, Life Sciences in addition to Social Sciences- Economics in addition to Political Sciences & International Relations.
Prof. Kalyanmoy Deb, Professor of Mechanical Engineering at IIT Kanpur, has been awarded inward the Engineering in addition to Computer Science area. Prof. Deb is a highly decorated scientist in addition to researcher who has received every major honour that a scientist tin brand it India. This includes Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award too. He had latterly received J C Bose Fellowship equally well.
He has made extensive contributions to diverse areas of research: Optimization, Optimal Design, Computer Aided Design, Artificial Intelligence, Genetic Algorithms, in addition to Soft Computing. One of his papers inward IEEE Transactions on Evolutionary Computation has received to a greater extent than than 2500 citations.
In the iv years of its being (it started with a sole prize for Mathematics inward 2008), the Infosys Prize has been awarded to 3 professors of IIT Kanpur. (None from other IITs.) We also accept many IITK alumni alongside the awardees. It is a affair of pride for all of us at IIT Kanpur.
