Turaga Sundara Rama Prasada Rao (20 January 1939 – 7 April 2022) was an Indian engineer, known for his contributions in the fields of petroleum refining and heterogeneous catalysis. He was a former director of the Indian Institute of Petroleum[1] and a former deputy general manager of the Indian Petrochemicals Corporation Limited.[2] He was known for his studies in heterogeneous catalysis for petrochemical and refining processes; his studies have been documented by way of a number of articles[note 1] and Google Scholar, an online repository of scientific articles has listed 123 of them.[3] He also co-edited a book, Recent Advances in Basic and Applied Aspects of Industrial Catalysis, published by Elsevier.[4]
Born on 20 January 1939, Rao was an elected fellow of Indian National Academy of Engineering,[5] and the Indian Academy of Sciences.[6] He was also a member of Andhra Pradesh Akademi of Sciences, Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers, and New York Academy of Sciences. He shared the 1996 Om Prakash Bhasin Award for Engineering with M. R. Srinivasan and C. G. Krishnadas Nair.[7] He received the Petrotech Lifetime Achievement Award in 2004.[8] He was also a recipient of several other honors including Chemtech Outstanding Scientist Award, K. G. Naik Gold Medal, FICCI Award Technology Award of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research.[2]
Rao died in Hyderabad on 7 April 2022, at the age of 83.[9]
