And Str., Journal of Aeronautics Society of India, Proceedings of the Indian National Science Academy, Sadhna, and Everyman’s Science. He is President of the Indian Society of Industrial and Applied Mathematics, and past President of the Indian Society of Theoretical and Applied Mechanics and past President of the Indian Society of Mechanical Engineers. He was Vice President of the Indian National Science Academy and Chairman of the National Committee of the Academy for IUTAM and IMU. He is member of IUTAM Bureau and Congress Committee. He is member / chairman of several other national and international academic bodies. He is Fellow of Indian National Science Academy, Indian National Academy of Engineering, National Academy of Sciences, India, Aeronautical Society of India and Institution of Engineers He is recipient of J.C.Bose Memorial Award, O.P. Bhasin Award, Millenium Plaques of Honour (ISCA) Award, Erskine (New Zealand) award, Alexander von Humboldt (Germany) Research Award, and several other honours and awards.
