Dr Kartik A Srinivasan and other two NRIs- Sumita Pennathur and Hari Shroff, are among 94 researchers honoured by President Barack Obama with Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers.

Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers: is early career awards for outstanding scientists and engineers to advance the nation's goals, tackle grand challenges and contribute to the American economy

Kartik Srinivasan is a Project Leader in the Nanofabrication Research Group in the CNST.

He received B.S., M.S., and Ph.D. degrees in Applied Physics from the California Institute of Technology, where his graduate research was supported by a Fannie and John Hertz Foundation Fellowship.

After receiving his B.S., he worked for one year at XPonent Photonics, a startup company based in Monrovia, CA. After completing his Ph.D., he continued at Caltech as a Postdoctoral Fellow at the Center for the Physics of Information. In September 2007 he joined the CNST, where he is leading projects in the field of nanophotonics.

Kartik has published over 30 peer-reviewed papers in journals such as Applied Physics Letters, Physical Review, Nature, and Science, on topics including microcavity lasers, chip-based cavity quantum electrodynamics, near-field optical probing, and the electromagnetic design and nanofabrication of photonic crystal devices.

The Center for Nanoscale Science and Technology (CNST) was established in May of 2007 to accelerate innovation in nanotechnology-based commerce. Located in NIST's Advanced Measurement Laboratory Complex on the Gaithersburg, MD campus, the CNST supports the development of nanotechnology by providing access to and training on world-class nanoscale measurement and fabrication methods and technology. It is the only national nanocenter with a focus on commerce.

The CNST facility has a unique design which supports the U.S. nanotechnology enterprise through the readily available shared NanoFab resource, as well as by providing opportunities for collaborative development of new nanoscale measurement instruments and methods.
