Professor Akhoury Sudhir Kumar Sinha, a researcher, teacher, and administrator, has held several key academic and leadership positions, including Professor, Head of the Department of Chemical Engineering, and Dean of Academic Affairs at the Indian Institute of Technology, Banaras Hindu University (IITBHU). Most recently, he served as the Director of the Rajiv Gandhi Institute of Petroleum Technology. A revered and decorated academic, he is credited with formulating roadmaps and enacting provisions to promote global recognition of the domain-specific institute.

Professor Sinha has successfully developed nanocatalysts and electrode systems capable of directly splitting seawater sustainably and is responsible for handling sponsored projects of substantial value. He has published nearly 150 articles in renowned journals and book chapters and supervised over 22 doctoral theses and 50 MTech dissertations. His works are highly cited, with an h index of 40, I 10 indexes of close to 100, and several citations of nearly 5,000. Professor Sinha is on the board of various academic/administrative committees, such as the executive committees of Kashmir University and Mata Vaishno Devi University.

He has received the Distinguished Alumnus Award from the IITBHU Alumni Association and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Regional Centre of Indian Institute of Chemical Engineers. His administrative accomplishments include setting up several research laboratories, such as the H2 laboratory, catalysis laboratory, and sophisticated instrument laboratory at IITBHU. Under his leadership, RGIPT received its first NIRF rank, expanded academic offerings, modernised the course curriculum, strengthened research infrastructure, enhanced industry-academic interaction, and increased faculty and student strength.

Professor Sinha's commitment extends beyond academics to the holistic development of students. He emphasises character building, social responsibility, and human values. His concern for the local community and regional advancement is revealed through social outreach schemes like Gyan Arpan, RISE, and Sauhardya. These initiatives, launched under the "Project Amethi" umbrella, foster education among local school students, promote innovation and entrepreneurship, empower women, and support small and medium-scale industries in the region.
