Rajesh Gopakumar, Senior Professor and Director ICTS-TIFR, has been elected Fellow of the World Academy of Sciences, TWAS. The TWAS citation says that "The major theme of his work has been gauge-string duality: uncovering underlying structural reasons as well as discovering new tractable, solvable examples. Two very influential examples are on the topological string dual to Chern-Simons theory and on higher spin duals to (non-supersymmetric) 2d conformal field theories."
