Awards & Recognitions

  • Year 2021: INFOSYS Prize in Physical Sciences , Citation: The Infosys Prize in Physical Sciences is awarded to Bedangadas Mohanty for investigations of the nuclear force. At the Brookhaven National Laboratory and the European Organization for Nuclear Research he determined the transition temperature of the quark-gluon plasma to hadronic matter, observed heavy antimatter nuclei, observed nuclear spin-orbital angular momentum interactions, and other effects in quark-gluon plasma.
  • Year 2020: Elected Fellow of American Physical Society , Citation: For distinguished contributions to the study of the quantum chromodynamics phase diagram and the search for the QCD critical point in high-energy nuclear collisions at both the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider and the Large Hadron Collider. [APS Website]
