Professor Deblina Sarkar is among the recipients of the Nano Research Young Innovators Awards in Bio-inspired Nanomaterials. Recognized for her potential to make a significant contribution in the field of nanotechnology, Prof. Sarkar is one of only four female researchers worldwide to receive this honor in 2023. Prof. Sarkar’s research fuses engineering, applied physics, and biology, advancing nanotechnology to address sustainable AI and life-machine symbiosis.
Nano Research launched their Young Innovators (NR45) Awards program in 2018 to feature young researchers under the age of 45 in various fields of nanoscience and nanotechnology, in recognition of their distinguished accomplishments and/or potential to make substantial contributions to their fields. The NR45 awardees were selected through a competitive process by an award committee from the journal’s editorial board. All the awardees are invited to submit research or review papers that underwent a rigorous peer-review process. Nano Research publishes a Special Issue featuring each award cohort's work every year.
