2020
|
Sumanta Chakraborty Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata |
For prolific contributions to multifaceted aspects of classical and quantum
gravity, in particular for testing predictions of alternative theories of
gravity from gravitational wave observations
|
|
2019
|
P. Ajith International Center for Theoretical Sciences, Bengaluru |
For his pioneering contributions to research on gravitational waves,
by building waveform templates for non-precessing spinning binary
systems and for developing tests of General Relativity from the
consistency of the observed waveform produced during
inspiral-merger-ringdown of black hole binaries
|

2017
|
K. G. Arun Chennai Mathematical Institute, Chennai |
For playing a key role in obtaining waveforms of gravitational radiation
ensuing from coalescing compact binary systems, incorporating higher order
post-Newtonian corrections, and his significant contribution in devising
a novel test of General Relativity and alternative theories using gravitational
waves.
