Ropar, April 12

Rajeev Ahuja, director, Indian Institute of Technology-Ropar, is among top five material science scientists in India and Sweden.

Research.Com has published a list of top scientists in the field of materials science in Sweden. The list includes 105 professors from Sweden. Prof Ahuja, who has been placed on the fourth rank, has worked at Uppsala University, Sweden, for more than 30 years before joining IIT-Ropar in 2021. He has H-Index of 91 with 35,857 citations and 976 publications to his credit.

Prof Ahuja, a renowned world scientist (condensed matter theory group), believes hydrogen as a clean alternative energy source for emerging technological future. He’s a distinguished scientist who’s working on the storage of hydrogen materials using Density Functional Theory (DFT).

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
