K. Sridhar obtained a PhD in Physics in 1990 from Mumbai University. After his doctoral studies he worked in the University of London and CERN, Geneva. He has collaborative associations with CERN, Geneva; LAPP, Annency; DAMTP, Cambridge and University of Orsay, Paris. Today he is a Professor of Theoretical Physics at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai.

Research

His current interest is primarily in theories of extra dimensions but he has also made contributions to quantum chromodyamics, supersymmetry, grand unification and electroweak physics. He has made significant contributions to brane-world models of extra dimensions, quarkonium physics and R-parity violating supersymmetry. He has published a book Particle Physics of Brane Worlds and Extra Dimensions with Sreerup Raychaudhuri which is published by Cambridge University Press in the series Cambridge Monographs on Mathematical Physics [1].

Literature

Sridhar recently released his debut novel, Twice Written, published by Popular Prakashan, Mumbai.
