Atlanta sources reported that Indian American Chemical Engineer Dr. raj Shah is the first ever Indian American engineer to achieve this honor. The Institute of Measurement and Control is recognized by the Royal Charter as the professional body for scientists and engineers working in measurement, automation and control. Founded in 1944, its members’ original priority was to maintain the national infrastructure and support wartime logistics.
During the post-war reconstruction years, attention shifted to developing new major infrastructure programs including nuclear power, oil and gas, the transport network and major industrial and chemical facilities. Dr. Shah was indicted into its hall of Fellows this week.
Currently the members of INSTMC are still involved in all the above areas, but the digital age has opened a new sphere of involvement in the area of sensors linked to intelligence. It is indeed a very unique and singular honor for Dr. Shah to be honored as a fellow by this prestigious institute. Dr. Shah is no stranger to distinction. Just a few months he was named a Fellow at the Royal Society of Chemistry, UK which boasts such historical members as Sir Isaac Newton, Charles Darwin, and Albert Einstein.
