Bubaneswar : Marking his presence of the global stage, Professor Ashish Ghosh (Director, IIIT-
Bhubaneswar) has been featured in Stanford University's top 2% scientists list for
2024. The internationally recognised list highlights excellence in global scientific
research and innovation. Professor Ghosh’s remarkable research work and
publications have earned him this coveted rank in the subject categories of ‘Artificial
Intelligence & Image Processing’ and ‘Information & Communication Technologies’.
This is the second consecutive year of Professor Ghosh’s entry into the list of the top
2% scientists in the world.
The Stanford University annual rankings are a widely recognised source of global
rankings of the top 2% scientists in the world. Early last week, Stanford University
released the list that includes 22 scientific fields and 174 sub-fields. Out of the
2,23,252 scientists in the top 2 per cent in the world from across all fields, India has
5,352, up from 4,635 in 2023. The 2024 rankings, released in collaboration with
Elsevier, evaluate researchers on the basis of citation metrics, foregrounding the
most impactful contributors across varied scientific fields.
When contacted, Professor Ghosh said that the domain of artificial intelligence is
vast-ranging and offers numerous possibilities of revolutionising the field of
technology as we know it today. He is glad that his work has been included in the
global forum of distinct research that will give it wider visibility. After joining IIIT-
Bhubaneswar as its Director, Prof Ghosh has ensured a series of international and
national workshops and conferences at the Institute in a short span of one year.
These events have been conducted with successful participation of young
researchers, faculties and students from across the globe. With this path-breaking
achievement, Prof Ghosh is leading by example and has set forth a promising path
for IIIT-Bhubaneswar in making strides in global research.
