NASI is the oldest Science Academy of India, established in 1930 by a group of world-leading Indian scientists. Based in Prayagraj in the state of Uttar Pradesh, its membership includes scientists, engineers and health professionals, and it promotes science and technology in India.
Andrew is one of only eight new foreign fellows elected in 2025. His citation is for his significant contributions in ultrafast laser spectroscopy in both gas and liquid phases.
This election to NASI reflects the strong ties between Andrew’s group and eminent scientists at several leading institutions in India, including Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Bombay where Andrew was a Visiting Professor in 2024.
Andrew joins School of Chemistry colleague Professor Varinder Aggarwal FRS, who was elected as a Fellow of NASI in 2024.
