The Anuj Khandelwal Memorial Fund was established in 2019 in memory of Anuj Khandelwal, who was a postdoctoral researcher in the Marty Burke Lab from 2016 until his tragic passing in 2017. Created by his friends and family, the fund supports the Anuj Khandelwal Memorial Travel Award, which provides conference travel funding for postdoctoral researchers in the Department of Chemistry.
Anuj was a man of great conviction and always showed light in the times of darkness. He always went a mile ahead in helping friends and family in need. His charismatic personality, confidence, and positive aura has touched hundreds and thousands of lives. He left us so soon at the young age of 32 but a piece of his legacy will forever live through this fund and benefit postdoctoral researchers like him.
