Subra Suresh Distinguished Lecture

The California Institute of Technology (Caltech) is pleased to announce the establishment of the Subra Suresh Distinguished Lecture. Dr. Subra Suresh is a globally recognized scholar and leader who has had a long history of scientific collaborations and interactions with the faculty and students at Caltech, as well as a distinguished research career that accompanies his achievements in service to the United States as Director of the National Science Foundation and as a world leader in higher education. In his honor, this biennial lecture series has been made possible through a permanent endowment provided by an anonymous donor.

The Subra Suresh Distinguished Lecture is given by leaders in the broad intellectual domain of multidisciplinary science and engineering. The lectureship is organized at least once every two years, with the inaugural lecture and prize event to be held in 2022. The lectureship is administered in the Division of Engineering and Applied Science (EAS) on behalf of the entire Caltech community.
