Award A first of its kind India-wide award to encourage and promote technical innovation. Entries open to all Indian Technologists In a bid to encourage and promote technical innovation, the Institute announces the Nina Saxena Excellence in Technology Award. The award commemorates the spirit and memory of its illustrious alumna Dr. Nina Saxena, B.Tech (Hons.), ECE 1992 who passed away tragically in 2005. Open to all Technologists who are Indian citizens, the award was announced at the IIT Kharagpur Foundation Day on August 18th, 2006. The award will be conferred every year on the same day to an individual who embodies the drive for technical excellence that Dr. Nina Saxena personified. The award is funded through an endowment of the Nina Saxena Memorial fund that has been collected through IIT Foundation (a non-profit organization and a US 501(c) organization). The intent of the fund is to perpetuate excellence despite all odds.

A distinguished committee will be formed by IIT Kharagpur to confer upon this award. The first award will be conferred on August 18, 2007. The award committee will be chaired by Director of IIT Kharagpur and will be comprised of Deans and selected faculty members of IIT Kharagpur and well known alumnus, based in India and the US. Nominations for best application of technological practices or a technological breakthrough will be decided on the basis of the following dimensions and in the following order of importance:
Director IIT Kharagpur 721302, INDIA Email: director@iitkgp.ernet.inBio-Graphical Note Dr. Nina Saxena An unassuming and down-to-earth person, Nina's signs of genius were there from the beginning. Her scientifically detailed handwritten note on "transferring sense of smell" when she was in class VIII and her gold medal for All India CBSE (Class XII) in physics, gave ample proof of things to come. Although she was selected for three All India Engineering and two All India Medical Competitions, she chose to graduate from IIT Kharagpur in the discipline of Electronics and Communications Engineering. Again going against the tide, and in spite of best job offers, she joined a research project at IIT Kharagpur, undertaking work in the area of producing medical instrumentation at cheap and competitive rates in India. She devoted two years to working on the project after her graduation. Nina did her M.S. in Computer Science from USF Tampa. She graduated with perfect GPA (4.0/4.0) and was adjudged topper of the class. On account of her brilliance, she was awarded the much coveted graduate fellowship (along with the usual scholarship and tuition waiver). She was also honoured by multiple societies, like Epsilon Pi Epsilon and Phi Kappa Phi. She thereafter undertook her PhD in Computer Engineering at University of Texas, Austin in the area of Formal Verification. Where again she came out with flying colours, completing her PhD in three years with perfect grades (4.0/4.0). She was again adjudged topper. During the entire period she had to financially support her ageing parents. She undertook tuition to support herself financially during these periods. After graduation, she was offered jobs in prestigious US companies. Her desire to be on the leading edge of innovation and technology led her to INTEL. She led cutting edge research and development in the area of next generation architecture design and formal verification and was awarded numerous distinguished awards and plaques for leading path-breaking R&D efforts at INTEL. Well respected and widely quoted, she was recognized as an authority in her area and was invited to be in the program committee and to be session chair in multiple top-tier conferences. Nina was always interested in alleviating poverty in India. She initiated contacts with govt. departments and agencies to assist her in an effort to use sustainable and renewable energy for projects meant for rural and tribal development. In parallel, she also was trying to raise money through venture capital firms to achieve her goal. Nina passed away tragically in 2005 and her dreams remain unfulfilled.
