It is a proud moment for Dr.Ramendra Prasad who is a senior lecturer at the University of Fiji to be selected as one of the world's top 2 percent of scientists by Stanford University.

Dr. Ramendra says it is an incredible honour for any scholar or researcher, as well as the organization, to be listed in the top 2 percent of the world's most prominent scholars or researchers based on research publications and citations.

He says his research work and interest include modelling and simulations, energy and atmospheric modelling, energy management, feasibility and testing and evaluating of new energy generation technologies, advanced machine learning and deep learning approaches, and advanced data analytics.
