Who is Nikku Madhusudhan, Indian-origin scientist who found signs of life on faraway planet?
Indian-origin astrophysicist Nikku Madhusudhan is leading what may be a major step forward in the search for alien life, with potential evidence found on a planet 120 light-years away from Earth. The discovery is not connected to any planet in our solar system but to a distant one named K2-18b. Born in India in 1980, Madhusudhan later moved to the United States to complete his master’s and PhD at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT)
