Young Researcher (U40) Award
Dr. Bidya Binay Karak has been received Young Researcher (U40) Award for 2024 from Association of Asia-Pacific Physical Societies (AAPPS) Division of Plasma Physics (AAPPS-DPP) for the fundamental studies of the flux transport dynamo mechanism in the Sun and other stars to provide theoretical explanations for different aspects of the solar and stellar cycles. (Receiving award and certificate from Prof. Xavier Garbet, Nanyang Technological University, Singapore, at Malacca, Malaysia)
INSA Young Scientist Medal
We are pleased to announce that Dr. Bidya Binay Karak has been awarded the prestigious INSA Medal for Young Scientists (2019) for his fundamental contributions to our understanding of how the 11-year sunspot cycle is produced by the dynamo process. His work led to a comprehensive theory of the large fluctuations of the sunspot cycle, especially the Maunder minimum. He also carried out state-of the-art 3D simulations of the dynamo modelling the irregularity of the solar cycle.
