GL Bajaj’s Professor Ranks Among The Top 2% Scientists Of The World  Listed By Stanford's University

November 8, 2021: Stanford University just revealed its 2021 rating, which reflects the top 2% of the most-cited scientists in several fields. A group of specialists lead by Stanford University's famous scholar, Prof. John Ioannidis, drafted the study.

Professor SP Dwivedi of Mechanical Engineering has been recognised among the top 2% of scientists in the world. This honour placed Greater Noida's GL Bajaj Institute of Technology and Management on the global map of engineering research excellence, and it is a source of great pride for the institute.

The institute's vice chairman elaborated on the achievement, saying that the institute is proud of it but that there is still a long way to go. The institute is dedicated to developing a network of high-quality researchers who will help to improve the general public's quality of life.

According to the institute's director, Prof. RK Agarwal, the ranking is based on the top 100,000 by C-scores (number of citations, eliminating self-citations) or a percentile rank of 2% or above.

Prof. SP Dwivedi was included on a list compiled by Stanford University and Elsevier BV, a publishing company based in the Netherlands. According to a report issued last week by Stanford and Elsevier. There are 1,492 Indians among the 1,59,683 people on the list, with the bulk hailing from IITs, IISc, and other elite institutes, representing subjects such as physics, material sciences, engineering, plant biology, energy, and others. On the basis of standardised citation signals, this list covers the top 2% of world scientists from various fields. The amount of citations, H-Index, co-authorship, and a composite indicator are all included. The findings were recently presented in a study that was divided into 22 scientific domains and 176 sub-fields.

GL Bajaj’s Alumnus Kushagra Srivastava Makes Through World's First Private Astronaut Mission

June 21, 2021: Kushagra Srivastava, a GL Bajaj BTech graduate, will now work on the world's first private astronaut expedition. Virgin Galactic has hired DHR International of Toronto to oversee the entire process of building the mothership that will transport the astronauts.

DHR International's Kushagra is a Senior Consultant. This mission has been assigned to Kushagra and two other people by the company. He is now a member of Virgin Galactic's world's first private aerospace flight as a result of his selection. This mission seeks to give private travelers with space tours. Three businesses, Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin, Elon Musk's Space X, and Richard Branson's Virgin Galactic, are working on three different missions. They're all attempting to complete three similar missions.

Kushagra is currently situated in Toronto, Canada. He will be in charge of the mission's work in California from here. He indicates that the mothership, in addition to the rocket, will be there during the voyage.

Kushagra's major mission is to assemble a team of scientists and other workers to construct the mothership. Aside from that, we'll be in charge of organising everything for the mothership. According to Kushagra, he was given this opportunity because of his previous work expertise in an aircraft company. He expresses his pride in becoming a part of the Virgin Galactic expedition. In addition to his family's encouragement, he credits his accomplishment to GL Bajaj's teachers.

Kushagra attended Aligarh AMU for his Class 12 grade. He subsequently went on to GL Bajaj Institute of Technology and Management in Greater Noida to get his BTech in Electrical and Electronics Engineering. He relocated to London for further studies after completing the programme in 2011 and began his career there as well. After that, he went to work for Quad Lab Technology in Dubai.
