From: Victoria Coffey (<victoria.coffey at nasa.gov>

It is with a heavy heart that we must announce the death of our distinguished colleague and friend Dr. Nagendra Singh.  He was serving as Professor Emeritus at the University of Alabama in Huntsville.

Nagendra graduated in 1966 from the Indian Institute of Technology in Kampur, India. He went onto obtain his M.S. and Ph. D in Electrical Engineering in 1967 and l970 from the California Institute of Technology, Pasadena.  As a classmate with Reiner Stenzel and others in Roy Gould’s Plasma Physics class, he was considered to be one of great character with honesty and modesty.   He then went onto the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Iowa, Iowa City as a Research Associate.   After one year he returned to the Indian Institute of Technology India serving as an Assistant Professor from 1973 to 1976.  From 1976 through 1979 he followed his research serving as a Visiting Scientist at the Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique, La Source, Orleans, France and the Institut fur Physikalische Weltraumforschung, Freiburg, West Germany.
