London, Jun 24 (PTI) The UK Atomic Energy Authority’s Chitra Srinivasan is among five Indian-origin engineers to be named among the UK’s Top 50 Women in Engineering for 2020.
Srinivasan, a control and software engineer at UKAEA’s fusion research lab at Culham Science Centre near Abingdon in south-east England, was joined by transport engineer Ritu Garg, seismic engineer Barnali Ghosh, climate change expert Anusha Shah and senior engineer Kusum Trikha for the Women’s Engineering Day awards announced on Tuesday.
Judged by a panel of industry experts, the awards seek to computer engineer salary female talent within engineering and is coordinated annually by the Women’s Engineering Society.
In its fifth year, the awards focused on sustainability -- celebrating female engineers who are making a significant contribution to achieving net zero carbon emission.
The UK Atomic Energy Authority hailed Srinivasan’s success as part of a team developing fusion energy as a carbon-free source of electricity that could be used around the world.
“I am an upcoming engineer in fusion research and this achievement is highly encouraging for me,” said Srinivasan.
“This would not have been possible without the support of my colleagues. At UKAEA, I have the opportunity to research sustainable energy by developing computer codes to control the fuel inside fusion machines. We are copying the process that powers the sun for greener electricity,” she said.
