Vedika Khemani, Associate Professor, Physics Department, Stanford University for her groundbreaking research on non-equilibrium quantum matter, including the discovery of time-crystals, which could influence future quantum technologies in Physical Sciences.

The foundation aims to create role models by honoring laureates and has recognized 98 individuals for excellence in science and research.
