THE EDITOR: Amrit Sharma has been making Trinidadians very proud lately. He placed first in the Young European Arena of Research 2008. He was the only UK student to win a gold medal in a technical paper and competed against 285 top researchers across the 36 countries in the European Union. He won it for his novel mathematical and optimisation techniques to assess and ensure stability for high performance vehicles.

He also placed first in both his graduate and post graduate programmes in the top engineering university in Europe and the 5th ranked university in the world! For some reason the Trinidadian press has always ignored his impressive achievements while the UK media seems to be more interested.

PS: He’s being passed off as a UK achievement but he’s born and bred Trinidadian! Check out his university page for more information:
