Dr. Lakshmi Sanga (nee Kappagantula) was the first female Fulbright Scholar from India. In 1953, she went to the United States as a Fulbright visiting scientific scholar to study at Ohio State University, pursuing physics with a specialization in spectroscopy (influenced by C.V. Raman's work on Raman Spectroscopy). Subsequently, she joined The Boeing Company and became one of the first women to work in the US aerospace industry. She worked at Boeing for over 30 years. She was born in India in 1924, and died in Seattle in 2018.
