Previously, all zircon-based processed had occurred overseas but used Australian minerals. It was Sinha's team that made it possible to carry out these processes in Australia, and this led to the construction of the world's largest zirconia plant, in Rockingham Western Australia. In 1987 Sinha received the Sir Ian McLennan Impact from Science and Engineering Award for his work on the zirconia powders process leading to the construction of the world's largest zircon processing plant. Sinha was a Fellow of the Australasian Institute of Mining and Metallurgy and a Life Member of the Indian Institute of Metals. 1993 Career position - Chief Research Scientist and Deputy Chief of the CSIRO Division of Mineral Chemistry/Mineral Products 1950 1950 Education - Bachelor of Metallurgical Engineering, Banaras Hindu University, India 1950 1953 Career position - Lecturer in Metallurgical Engineering, Banaras Hindu University, India 1953 1956 Education - Doctor of Philosophy (PhD) in Metallurgical Engineering, University of Melbourne, as a Colombo Plan Fellow 1956 1958 Career position - Reader at the Banaras Hindu University, India 1958 1958 Career event - Established the Department of Metallurgical Engineering at the Indian Institute of Technology at Bombay, India 1961 c. 1964 Career position - Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Australian Institute of Nuclear Science and Engineering, Melbourne 1964 1967 Career position - Senior Research Scientist with the CSIRO Division of Mineral Chemistry 1968 1977 Career position - Research Manager of Murphyores Inc Pty Ltd 1973 1973 Award - Distinguished Alumnus Award, Banaras University 1978 Career event - Senior Principal Research Scientist, CSIRO Division of Mineral Chemistry 1983 1983 Award - RACI Award for best paper on Process Chemistry presented at Chemeca 1983 1988 Career position - Member, Executive Committee, International Committee for Studies of Bauxite, Alumina and Alminium (ICSOBA) 1986 2023 Award - Fellow, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering (FTSE) 1987 1987 Award - Ceramic Achievement Award of Australian Ceramic Society 1987 1987 Award - Sir Ian McLennan Impact from Science and Engineering Award, CSIRO 1990 1990 Award - Member of the Order of Australia (AM) - for service to science and technology and to Australian-Indian relations 1993 1993 Career event - Retired as Deputy Chief, CSIRO Division of Minerals Products 1993 1999 Career position - Chairman, Victorian Division, Australian Academy of Technological Sciences and Engineering 1 Jan 2001 1 Jan 2001 Award - Centenary Medal - for service to Australian science in metallurgical science and engineering CSIRO Division of Mineral Chemistry, Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (1959 - 1988)
