D. thesis topic was "Structure and Genetic control of endosperm proteins in wheat and rye".〔(Nagendra Kumar Sing et al. The structure and genetic control of a new class of disulphide-linked proteins in wheat endosperm. ) TAG Theoretical and Applied Genetics 〕 There he was awarded Dr K.P. Barley Prize best post graduate student prize at the university in 1983. He was then awarded the prestigious CSIRO Post Doctoral Award in 1986 and the Queen Elizabeth II Award, by the Australian government in 1988 for his post doctoral research.
