DINDIGUL: Three professors in Gandhigram Rural Institute (Deemed to be University) have made it to the list of top 2% of influential scientists in the world — ranked by Stanford University experts — in maths, physics and chemistry for the fifth consecutive time.
The list, compiled by Prof John PA Loannidis and his colleagues at Stanford University, classifies the world’s best scientists in 22 scientific fields and 176 subfields based on the ranking of at least five research papers published by each scientist.
The list includes more than two lakh researchers from around the world, with more than 3,500 Indian researchers making the cut. Among them are GRI scientists P Balasubramaniam, dept of mathematics, S Meenakshi, dept of chemistry, and K Marimuthu, dept of physics, who have been included on the 2023 impact list released a few days ago.
Balasubramaniam from the mathematics dept is conducting systematic research on transforming low-quality images into high-quality images using fuzzy logic approaches and detecting trauma in the patient’s brain through cryptography and processing technology.
Meenakshi is involved in research to develop methods to remove toxic fluoride, chromium, mercury and toxins from wastewater by absorption.
Marimuthu has been researching the emission of white light and laser light through glasses made of rare earth elements and is working on creating glasses to prevent hazardous radiation in the field of physics.
All three professors were previously included on the list of the top 2% world’s best scientists in 2019, 2020, 2021 and 2022, making this their appearance for the fifth consecutive time.
