Community mourns the loss of Dr. Haren Gandhi
Listening to Dr. Subhash Kelkar's radio program yesterday, I heard the sad news on the passing away of Dr. Haren Gandhi a Ford Motor Company researcher and the only member of the auto industry to win the U.S. National Medal of Technology and Innovation. Dr Haren Gandhi died on Jan. 23 at the age of 68. Dr. Haren Gandhi is survived by his wife Yellow, daughter Sangeeta and son Anand. From Ford Motor Company Press Release
Dr. Gandhi joined Ford in 1967 where he distinguished himself in leading-edge research, development and implementation of automotive exhaust catalysts at the company's Research and Innovation Center.
Among Dr. Gandhi's many scientific contributions is the development of the monolithic three-way catalyst, a discovery that has revolutionized the way the automotive industry approaches emissions control.
His work has resulted in more than 70 technical publications and 53 U.S. patents in automotive exhaust catalysis and related areas, with many more patents in other countries.
In 2003, President George W. Bush presented Dr Gandhi the National Medal of Technology and Innovation in a ceremony at the White House.
