Byrana Nagappa Suresh (born 12 November 1943) is an Indian aerospace scientist. He serves as chancellor of theIndian Institute of Space Science and Technology (IIST) inThiruvananthapuram and is a professor atISRO Headquarters.

Suresh's father was an agriculturist in Hosakere, Andagar, a small village nearKoppa, situated nearSringeri inKarnataka, India.^[1] He attended his entire schooling in Andagar and Koppa and studied in Kannada medium. After Suresh earned his bachelor's degree in science in 1963 and engineering in 1967 fromMysore University, he took his master's degree in mechanical engineering fromIndian Institute of Technology Madras in 1969.^[2] He completed his doctorate in control systems fromSalford University, in 1978.^{[citation needed]}

He was president of the Indian National Academy of Engineering (INAE) in Delhi from 2015 to 2018 and director of theVikram Sarabhai Space Centre (VSSC) inThiruvananthapuram from 2003 to 2007,^[3] where he contributed to the development of Indian launch vehicles and theSpace Capsule Recovery Experiments (SRE), as well as research and development management.^[4]

Suresh was also the founding director of the IIST,^[5] a position he held until his retirement in November 2010. Following his retirement, he served as the Vikram Sarabhai Distinguished Professor at ISRO Headquarters for five years. Additionally, he was a professor at IIT Mumbai and MIT Manipal for three years. He was a member of the Board of Governors at IIT Madras for seven years, until July 2018, and later became vice chair for the Design Division of the Aeronautical Society of India. He contributed as an associate editor of the bookFrom Fishing Hamlet To Red Planet and co-authoredEver Upwards: ISRO in Images, both of which document the history of theIndian Space Research Organisation (ISRO).

Suresh is president of the Jnanadeepa Senior Secondary School and the Sri Aurobindo Foundation for Education in Shivamogga, Karnataka.^[6]

Suresh has received several honors, including the Padma Bhushan in 2013 and the Padma Shri in 2002.^[7] He also received the Aryabhata Award from the Astronautical Society of India in 2009.^[7][8][9]
