Perseverance’s Martian crust samples won’t arrive until 2031, but Dr Meenakshi Wadhwa is improving our understanding of the red planet using meteorites and volcanic rocks.
“Please say CREWED mission, not manned,” Dr Meenakshi Wadhwa breaks off mid-thought to stress the point. “I am certain that the first such mission will have women on the team.” We are discussing the likelihood of human beings stepping foot on Mars. As chair of the Science Committee in NASA’s Advisory Council, Wadhwa knows what she’s talking about.
She heads the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, and after studying space rocks – some of them from Mars – for years, she also knows more about the red planet than most experts. In fact, she is the recipient of this year’s J. Lawrence Smith Medal – the highest honour in the field of meteoritics (science of meteors, meteorites and meteoroids). ....

NAS Honors Indian American Scientists Nikhil Srivastava, Meenakshi Wadhwa with Special Prize and Medal


Among the recipients were Nikhil Srivastava and Meenakshi Wadhwa.
Srivastava, of U.C. Berkeley, as well as Adam Marcus and Daniel Alan Spielman of Yale, were named recipients of the Michael and Sheila Held Prize.
Marcus, Spielman and Srivastava solved longstanding questions on the Kadison-Singer problem and on Ramanujan graphs, and in the process uncovered a deep new connection between linear algebra, geometry of polynomials, and graph theory that has inspired the next generation of theoretical computer scientists, according to the NAS. 
Their groundbreaking papers on these questions, both published in 2015, solved problems that mathematicians had been working on for several decades. In particular, their solution to the Kadison-Singer problem, first posited in 1959, has been hailed as one of the most important developments in mathematics of the past decade, it said. ....
