minor planet discovered on September 27, 2000 by MIT Lincoln Laboratory's Near-Earth Asteroid Research (LINEAR) program. It lies in the Ceres belt of thesolar system .It was named in honor of Ashish Bakshi (b.
1988 ), who was awarded second place in the 2004Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for his engineering project, Designing a System for Versatile Semi-Autonomous Robots. He again won the second place Grand Award in the 2006Intel International Science and Engineering Fair for his project, Polycaprolactone-Chitosan Nanocomposite Biomaterials for Tissue Engineering and Wound Healing.Ashish currently attends
Yale University .References
