By Our Correspondent
GUWAHATI, Oct 28 In a rare honour to the State, Deepshika Choudhury of
Dispur has been selected for the Best Dissertation Award in nuclear physics
amongst the American Universities by the American Physical Society (APS).
Deepshika, currently a post-doctoral fellow at George Washington University at

recognition in nuclear physics by any American society.
The award is given annually by the APS division of nuclear physics in
recognition of recent outstanding doctoral research in nuclear physics. The
award carries a cash prize of $ 2,000 and an allowance to travel to a APS
meeting scheduled for April, 2008.
Deepshikas dissertation was completed under the guidance of Prof Daniel
Phillips of Ohio State University titled Investigating Neutron
Polarizabilities and NN Scattering in Heavy-Baryon Chiral Perturbation Theory.
Talking to this correspondent, Ajit Kumar Choudhury, father of Deepshika,
expressed happiness over his daughters feat and said, I hope her works come
handy for overall development of the country and the State in particular.
Deepshika did her BSc in Physics from Cotton College and MTech from Indian
Institute of Technology, Delhi.
