NASA names Indian American student Aadya Karthik as “Power to Explore” finalist
HOUSTON, TX (TIP): Aadya Karthik, an Indian American student from Redmond, Washington, is one of nine finalists selected by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) in the ‘Power to Explore Challenge.’ The national competition for K-12 students featuring the enabling power of radioisotopes offers students the opportunity to learn more about these reliable power systems, celebrate their own strengths, and interact with NASA’s diverse workforce.
In an essay titled “Destiny: A Journey of Resilience,” Karthik explored the legacy left behind by Cassini, a spacecraft that focused on exploring Saturn’s moons.
“In September 2017, after making many fascinating discoveries, the Cassini spacecraft plunged into Saturn’s atmosphere, never to be heard from again,” she wrote. “However, Cassini’s legacy lives on, as its discoveries are still studied by the scientific community, particularly the research it conducted on Saturn’s many moons.”
“Saturn’s fifth largest moon, Tethys, is composed largely of water-ice. During a Cassini flyby in 2015, mysterious red arcs were spotted on the moon’s surface, their origin unknown. Similar features have been observed on Jupiter’s moon Europa, which could potentially host life, hinting at some connection between the two moons,” Karthik noted. “To investigate this mystery,” she proposed, “my flyby spacecraft, named Destiny, will attempt to understand the origin and composition of these arcs using a spectrometer and camera system operating in the visible to infrared ranges.”
“Comparing this data with similar figures from Europa could reveal a relationship between the two moons. Like Cassini, Destiny will use gravity assists of Venus, Earth, and Jupiter to reach Saturn in 7 years. To survive in the dark environment near Tethys where solar illumination is 1/100th that on Earth, Destiny will use an MMRTG, a type of RPS, as an efficient and durable power source,” Karthik wrote.
“Like RPS, I strive to be resilient, regardless of what challenges come my way,” Karthik wrote. “For any space mission, resilience is key, as challenges are bound to arise. My perseverance will help me devise creative solutions to these obstacles, leading Destiny through a successful mission. After all, resilience evokes the power to explore,” she concluded.
Announcing the finalists on the occasion of the total solar eclipse, NASA astronaut and former mariner Stephen Bowen congratulated them for their innovative ideas and explained how a solar eclipse limited explorations due to power outage.
Commenting on the challenge in a video, he said, “It was an opportunity for students to share missions they believed could be enhanced or made possible by radioisotope power systems. Congratulations to all our finalists in the Power to Explore contest. Remember, with radioisotope power systems, “No sun, no problem. We can go anywhere.”
The winners will be announced on April 17. One grand prize winner from each grade category (three total) will receive a trip for two to NASA’s Glenn Research Center in Cleveland, to learn about the people and technologies that enable NASA missions.
Every student who submits an entry will receive a digital certificate and an invitation to a virtual event with NASA experts where they’ll learn about what powers the NASA workforce to dream big and explore.
This year’s contest received 1,787 submitted entries from 48 states and Puerto Rico. -
Indian-origin Punjab youth from Garhshankar dies in New Zealand
NEW YORK (TIP): A resident of Rampur Bildon village in Garhshankar, currently residing in New Zealand, has died after a brief illness. The deceased has been identified as Mandeep Singh.
Rajinder Singh, father of the deceased, said his son went to New Zealand as a student in 2013. He started working there and later got citizenship.
He said a few days ago, Mandeep suffered a head injury after he slipped at home. As his condition started deteriorating, he was admitted to a hospital in Wellington, New Zealand.
According to family members, doctors there said a blood clot had formed in his head due to the injury. He breathed his last on April 4.
Village sarpanch Harmesh Singh said the family was shocked by the sudden death of Mandeep. He sought help from the administration in bringing back his mortal remains to the village. -
Indian-origin neurologist Dr Ashvini Keshavan’s UK study to revolutionize dementia diagnosis
LONDON (TIP): An Indian-origin neurologist is part of a world-class research team in the UK that has been awarded a major grant this week to build on recent breakthroughs in potential dementia blood tests and generate the evidence needed for them to be used more widely in the next five years.
Dr Ashvini Keshavan, Senior Clinical Research and Honorary Consultant Neurologist Fellow at University College London (UCL) is part of the team that will focus on the most promising biomarker for Alzheimer’s disease called p-tau217. A second team made up of researchers from the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge will test various proteins to detect a variety of dementia-causing diseases.
Both teams will recruit participants from sites spread across the UK with the hope of its cost-effective rollout on the National Health Service (NHS) over time.
“Proteins that underpin various dementia-causing diseases, and particularly Alzheimer’s disease, which is the commonest cause of dementia worldwide, are now detectable in blood,” said Dr Keshavan.
“The two studies that have been awarded funding by the Blood Biomarker Challenge grant are both seeking to implement blood tests in real world settings in the UK, to see if blood tests will prove useful in confirming the presence or absence of these diseases in people who have early dementia or mild but progressive cognitive problems. We want to ensure that our research will reflect the UK’s ethnic and socioeconomic diversity and are aiming to broaden access to these tests, as the current gold standard tests to confirm the presence of these diseases are currently not accessible to most UK patients because they are either expensive or invasive,” she explains.
The Blood Biomarker Challenge is a multi-million-pound award given by Alzheimer’s Society, Alzheimer’s Research UK, the UK’s National Institute for Health and Research and Gates Ventures and includes funds raised by players of People’s Postcode Lottery.
The UCL-led study is called ADAPT and will focus on plasma p-tau217 – a blood marker of Alzheimer’s disease – and will answer the question of whether knowledge of this test result can improve rates of Alzheimer’s diagnosis in conjunction with standard memory clinic assessments. The second study is called READ-OUT, which aims to test various proteins, including novel or less well-established ones, to detect a variety of dementia-causing diseases.
“If our research shows that these tests are clinically useful, and cost-effective, we would be able to contribute to the case for them becoming a part of the standard of care offered in the UK. This would have the potential for individuals to receive earlier diagnoses of their specific dementia-causing disease,” said Dr Keshavan.
Such a breakthrough would be particularly important for ensuring patients are given the right post-diagnostic support and treatment for symptoms.
“An early, accurate diagnosis of Alzheimer’s disease is already important, allowing people to access appropriate care and medications. If, as we hope, new treatments that can slow down Alzheimer’s disease become available soon, then this will be vital. This would pave the way for fair and equitable access to new and potentially life-changing treatments to all who might benefit,” added Professor Jonathan Schott, Alzheimer’s Research UK Chief Medical Officer and Dr Keshavan’s UCL colleague on the research.
Currently, people are usually diagnosed with dementia using memory tests and brain scans. These are less accurate than “gold standard” tests like PET scans or lumbar punctures, which can confirm what type of dementia they have. However, only 2 per cent of people can access these specialist tests.
In recent years, several different blood tests that can diagnose Alzheimer’s disease and other causes of dementia have shown very promising results in research settings. But they have yet to be tested widely in clinical settings in the UK.
Dr Vanessa Raymont, Associate Director, Dementias Platform UK, and Senior Clinical Researcher, University of Oxford, said: “There was previously a feeling that this was just another part of aging, but now we’re seeing that people want to know more about their condition, and they want a diagnosis as it helps them access the support they need.
“Both my parents lived with dementia so I know first-hand the devastation this disease causes, and how a timely and accurate diagnosis can benefit people and their families.” Blood tests are seen as part of the answer to addressing the dementia conundrum as they’re quick, easy to administer and cheaper than current, more complex tests. -
Indian American Texas hotelier Miraj S. Patel becomes youngest chairman of AAHOA
HOUSTON, TX (TIP): Indian American Texas hotelier Miraj S. Patel has become the youngest chairman of the Asian American Hotel Owners Association (AAHOA) board of directors in its 35-year history.
Patel became chairman for 2024-25 at the April 5 conclusion of the 2024 AAHOA Convention & Trade Show in Orlando, Florida, which set a record level of exhibiting vendors and welcomed nearly 6,500 attendees for the industry’s leading event for hotel owners, according to a media release.
“It is an honor to serve America’s hotel owners as the newest AAHOA Chairman,” Patel said. “I am committed to helping solve some of the industry’s toughest challenges with simple and straightforward solutions and to putting our members at the center of every decision we make.”
Patel is a second-generation hotelier who began his career in hospitality at a young age, growing up in his family’s first 30-room independent property.
He got his start in volunteer service at AAHOA by serving as a committee member for several years and joining the AAHOA Board of Directors in 2019 after being elected as Young Professional Director Western Division.
“Serving as the youngest chair in the association’s history further demonstrates AAHOA’s commitment to fostering the growth and success of the next generation,” Patel said.
“I’m always encouraging young professionals not to let age determine success. Many times, people may say you’re too young, but that is absolutely not true. There are so many folks who are young but still do whatever it takes to find success. If you never try, you’ll never know what you’re capable of achieving.”
Today, Patel is President of Wayside Investment Group, a Texas-based company that specializes in making opportunistic investments in the lodging and hospitality real estate sector.
Over the years, Patel has exemplified a strong track record of leadership in the industry. Aside from his devotion to the hospitality industry, he is a firm believer in giving back to the community, according to his official profile.
He serves various industry associations and charitable organizations and continues to seek opportunities to make a positive difference. Patel earned his master’s in business administration and his Bachelor of Science degree in Hotel and Lodging Management from Johnson and Wales University in Miami, Florida.
“On behalf of the entire AAHOA organization, we congratulate Miraj on becoming AAHOA’s newest Chairman,” said AAHOA President & CEO Laura Lee Blake.
“We look forward to working under his leadership to continue to advance the industry and position AAHOA as the only true voice of hotel owners in the nation. Miraj has an incredible passion for serving the industry and members of AAHOA, and, like those who have come before him, we know he’ll have a significant positive impact on AAHOA in the years ahead.”
“I promise to lay the foundation for a tomorrow that reflects the aspirations, needs, and challenges of today,” Patel said. “I am where I am today because of AAHOA, and it’s incredibly reassuring to know the same is true for so many other AAHOA Members.
“As Chairman of AAHOA, I will strive to work alongside the 2024-25 AAHOA Board of Directors to shape a future where we are pioneering new ways of thinking, a collaborative spirit, and results for AAHOA Members.” -

Indian American golfer Akshay Bhatia earns Masters spot with Texas Open win
SAN ANTONIO, TX (TIP) : Indian American golfer Akshay Bhatia scripted a dramatic playoff victory at the Valero Texas Open in San Antonio, Texas to earn a coveted spot at the Augusta Masters in his first-ever Major appearance.
In a wild finish, 22-year-old Bhatia, who turned pro five years ago, edged past Denny McCarthy, sealing his triumph with a birdie on the first extra hole, Sunday, according to media reports.
McCarthy was 6 shots behind going to the back nine at the TPC San Antonio when he birdied eight of the nine holes — including the last seven — making a 12-foot birdie for a 9-under 63. Bhatia had to make his birdie putt from the same range to have a chance.
He made it for a 67, raising his arms to shake them in his clutch moment. And that’s when he felt his shoulder — which he says has given him trouble before — pop out of its socket. Bhatia hit his tee shot and laid up with a 5-iron on the par-5 18th in the playoffs.
He will be the first Drive, Chip and Putt finalist to play in the Masters. He also qualifies for the US Open with his second PGA Tour victory and moves to No. 34 in the world.
It was Bhatia’s first in a 72-hole stroke-play start. He won the 2023 Barracuda Championship, an event with a Modified Stableford scoring format held as an Additional Event during The Open Championship, according to pgatour.com.
“It was just incredible to be able to be in this position,” Bhatia said. He reminded himself of his good fortune on the cart ride to the tee for the playoffs.
Four swings later, he won 500 FedEx Cup points and an invitation to Augusta National, where a decade ago he played in the first Drive, Chip & Putt National Finals.
“My mom’s birthday was on April 1, and her wish was to get into the Masters,” Bhatia said. “So, I hope I make her proud.”
It wasn’t just her. Bhatia’s fiancé, Presleigh Schultz, met him on the green for a long, tight embrace, pgatour.com reported. It was fitting that Bhatia won the Valero Texas Open, of all tournaments on the schedule.
He and Schultz, who’s from Mississippi, met there in 2021. Bhatia messaged her on Instagram when she was a student at Texas A&M. He told her he was playing a golf tournament in San Antonio and invited her to meet him there.
She’d never been to a golf tournament before. She went, changing her life and his.
“He believes in himself more than anyone,” said Schultz, who also noted that Bhatia had been telling her all year that they’d be going to the Masters. Even this week. “I had no doubt,” she said. -
Indian-origin Pavan Davuluri named Windows and Surface Chief
REDMOND, WA (TIP): Microsoft has appointed Indian born Pavan Davuluri, an alumnus of the prestigious Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, as its new chief for Windows and Surface.
According to technology news website The Verge, Microsoft underwent organizational restructuring following the surprise departure of former product lead Panos Panay to Amazon last year.
This restructuring led to the separation of the Windows and Surface groups, with Davuluri assuming responsibility for Surface silicon and devices, while Mikhail Parakhin led a new team focused on Windows and web experiences.
Now both Windows and Surface will be Davuluri’s responsibility, as Parakhin has “decided to explore new roles.”
Microsoft is now bringing together its Windows and devices teams once more, the Verge reported citing an internal memo from Rajesh Jha, Microsoft’s head of experiences and devices, outlining the new Windows organization.
“This will enable us to take a holistic approach to building silicon, systems, experiences, and devices that span Windows client and cloud for this AI era,” explains Jha. Davuluri is now the leader of Microsoft’s Windows and Surface team, reporting directly to Rajesh Jha.
Davuluri has worked at Microsoft for more than 23 years and was deeply involved in the company’s work with Qualcomm and AMD to create custom Surface processors. Davuluri has been instrumental in Microsoft’s initiatives to optimize Windows for Arm-based devices.
In a recent post on X, he expressed pride in the team’s efforts, announcing the launch of the first-ever #Surface AI PCs designed exclusively for business: Surface Pro 10 for Business and Surface Laptop 6 for Business. He commended the team for their work in bringing these devices and experiences to fruition for customers.
Jha says the Windows team will “work closely with the Microsoft AI team on AI, silicon, and experiences,” but there’s going to be some interesting areas of potential overlap that these new leaders are going to have to navigate.
Microsoft AI now looks after Edge, a browser that’s a key part of the Windows experience.
Davuluri, now joins the ranks of prominent Indian-origin leaders in major tech companies worldwide. Notable figures include Sundar Pichai, the CEO of Alphabet and Google, Satya Nadella, CEO of Microsoft, Arvind Krishna, CEO of IBM, Nikesh Arora of Palo Alto Networks, Neal Mohan from YouTube, and Shantanu Narayen of Adobe.
The Windows shake-up comes just days after Google DeepMind co-founder and former Inflection AI CEO Mustafa Suleyman joined Microsoft as the CEO of a new AI team. Microsoft also hired a bunch of Inflection AI employees, including co-founder Karén Simonyan who is now the chief scientist of Microsoft AI.
As a result, most of Inflection’s staff are joining Microsoft AI in what is being seen as a talent acquisition that carefully avoids direct regulatory scrutiny.
Suleyman is now the CEO of Microsoft AI, a new team that will handle the company’s consumer-facing AI products like Copilot, Bing, and Edge. Suleyman reports directly to Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella. -
