SRM University-AP’s 20 faculty members feature in world’s top 2% scientists list

The SRM University AP, Amaravati, has achieved excellence in its research journey, with 20 faculty members featuring among the World’s Top 2% Scientists. The achievement marks a significant increase from seven faculty members recognised last year, highlighting SRM AP’s expanding research capabilities and commitment to growth.

The World’s Top 2% Scientists list is a global database compiled by researchers at Stanford University in collaboration with Elsevier and based on Scopus citation metrics.

The recognition reflects the scholarly contributions of researchers across multiple domains such as engineering, environmental sciences, mathematics, physics, chemistry, energy engineering, and interdisciplinary research, and also highlights SRM’s growing global research footprint.

Satish Kumar, the vice-chancellor of SRM University-AP, encouraged the awardees to build on their achievements, pursue focused research agendas, and contribute to SRM’s long-term goal of increasing the number of globally recognised scientists.

Furthermore, Karthik Rajendran, the associate dean of quality assurance and rankings (QAR), and Ranjit Thapa, the dean-research, highlighted the significance of the achievement in strengthening the University’s global standing.
