NASA Research Engineer Mahmooda Sultana has been named the 2017 ‘IRAD Innovator of the Year’ by the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center.
The annual award is bestowed on “those who achieve significant results creating technologies” in the Internal Research and Development, or IRAD, programme.
The organisation funds and manages the breakthrough technological developments that could advance NASA’s goals of scientific advancement, exploration and helping others.
“Mahmooda has distinguished herself as a tenacious, creative thinker, impressing virtually everyone with her technical acumen and drive,” Goddard Chief Technologist Peter Hughes said in a statement.
“In her relatively short time here, she has successfully competed for 10 awards under our IRAD programme, compiling an impressive list of accomplishments, including the creation of advanced sensors for which a patent is pending,” he said.
“Perhaps most notable is her emergence as one of NASA’s experts in nanotechnology. I can only imagine what she’ll do in the future. She embodies the very essence of innovation.”
