Dr. T R Lakshmanan and Dr. Lata Chatterjee Environmental Analysis & Policy Prize Awarded to Stephanie Hung!
The Dr. T R Lakshmanan and Dr. Lata Chatterjee Environmental Analysis & Policy Prize is named in honor of Earth & Environment Emeritus Professors T.R. Lakshmanan and Lata Chatterjee. Lata and “Laksh,” as he liked to be called, were a married team who made significant contributions through their academic scholarship and global service. Lata and Laksh’s impact has been felt through institutions such as the World Bank, United Nations, US AID, and the Clinton White House. Laksh was an eminent scholar with a larger-than-life personality. He is sorely missed by the academic community. This prize is dedicated in Laksh’s memory and to the remarkable impact that both academics have had at BU and beyond.
