Dr. B.N. Suresh is Vikram Sarabhai Distinguished Professor at ISRO HQ. He is also President, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Delhi; a member of Board of Governors, IIT Madras; and Chairman, Research Board for Aeronautical Development Establishment, DRDO. After his degree in Science and Engineering from Mysore University, he took his Post Graduate degree from IIT Madras. He got his Doctorate under Commonwealth Scholarship in Control Systems from Salford University, UK. He joined Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre, Trivandrum in 1969 and discharged several responsibilities before taking over as Director, Vikram Sarabhai Space Centre and served four and half years till end of November 2007. He took over as Founder Director for the newly established Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) at Trivandrum in 2007 and served for three and half years. He was a distinguished scientist and served as member of Space Commission for four years. He was also distinguished Professor at IIT, Bombay and MIT Manipal. His areas of specialization are design of launch vehicles, aerospace navigation guidance and control systems, actuation systems, modelling and simulation and R&D management. He is a Fellow of several Professional Societies like International Academy of Astronautics, Paris, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Astronautical Society of India and Aeronautical Society of India. He was President for System Society of India for 6 years. He was head of Indian delegation in United Nations Committee on Peaceful Uses of Outer Space (UNCOPOUS) at Vienna, Austria for four years till 2007. He also actively participated in International Academy of Astronautics (IAA) and International Astronautical Federation. He was the chairman of the selection board for five years for selecting the members in S and T area for IAA. He was Co-Chair for programme Committee for the conduct of International Astronautical Congress (IAC) in 2007. He has won several awards and honours
