Science • Curiosity • Discovery
Celebrating scientists born in India or in undivided India whose discoveries expanded our understanding of the universe and life.
A NEW THOUGHT EVERY DAY
“The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing.”
— Albert Einstein
A German-born theoretical physicist whose work reshaped modern physics, including the theories of special and general relativity.
VISUALISING MATTER WAVES
A wave packet is a localized group of waves formed by superposition. Its envelope describes where a particle is most likely to be found, while the carrier waves illustrate the wave-like nature of matter.
The envelope travels with the group velocity; the oscillations represent the wave’s phase.

My association with Mysuru began in 2008 with the beginning of my research journey. I pursued my doctoral work here and was awarded my PhD by the University of Mysore at its 92nd Annual Convocation in 2012. In 2015, I joined The National Institute of Engineering, Mysuru, continuing my academic and research journey in this city.
Mysuru is therefore not simply a place associated with my profession; it is an important part of my research and academic journey. Its traditions of art, music, literature, learning and appreciation of nature have provided an inspiring setting for research, teaching and reflection.
RESEARCH SUPERVISOR & MENTOR
Professor of Physics (Retd.)
Department of Studies in Physics, Manasagangotri, Mysuru
I gratefully acknowledge Dr. R. Somashekar, my Research Supervisor and Mentor, who gave me the opportunity to pursue my PhD studies and guided me during the formative years of my research journey.
The city's distinctive blend of heritage and education offers a quiet space for curiosity, creativity and intellectual growth — values that naturally complement academic life at The National Institute of Engineering.
Beyond Mysuru, Karnataka represents a remarkable meeting of heritage, knowledge and modern innovation. Its cultural legacy and strong academic and technological ecosystem continue to inspire new generations to learn, create and contribute.
A living cultural landscape of architecture, literature, music, traditional arts and celebrations that keeps history connected with everyday life.
Mysuru's comparatively calm and green character provides an inspiring backdrop for study, teaching, research and thoughtful academic work.
Karnataka brings together a deep intellectual tradition, renowned institutions, scientific research and a vibrant culture of innovation.
ಮೈಸೂರು ಮತ್ತು ಕರ್ನಾಟಕ
ಮೈಸೂರಿನೊಂದಿಗೆ ನನ್ನ ನಂಟು 2008ರಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಪಯಣದ ಆರಂಭದೊಂದಿಗೆ ಪ್ರಾರಂಭವಾಯಿತು. ಇಲ್ಲಿಯೇ ನಾನು ಡಾಕ್ಟರೇಟ್ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆಯನ್ನು ಪೂರ್ಣಗೊಳಿಸಿ, 2012ರಲ್ಲಿ ಮೈಸೂರು ವಿಶ್ವವಿದ್ಯಾನಿಲಯದ 92ನೇ ವಾರ್ಷಿಕ ಘಟಿಕೋತ್ಸವದಲ್ಲಿ ಪಿಎಚ್.ಡಿ. ಪದವಿಯನ್ನು ಪಡೆದೆ. ನಂತರ 2015ರಲ್ಲಿ ದಿ ನ್ಯಾಷನಲ್ ಇನ್ಸ್ಟಿಟ್ಯೂಟ್ ಆಫ್ ಎಂಜಿನಿಯರಿಂಗ್, ಮೈಸೂರಿಗೆ ಸೇರಿ, ಇದೇ ನಗರದಲ್ಲಿ ನನ್ನ ಶೈಕ್ಷಣಿಕ ಮತ್ತು ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಪಯಣವನ್ನು ಮುಂದುವರಿಸಿದೆ.
ಆದ್ದರಿಂದ ಮೈಸೂರು ನನ್ನ ವೃತ್ತಿಜೀವನಕ್ಕೆ ಸಂಬಂಧಿಸಿದ ಒಂದು ನಗರ ಮಾತ್ರವಲ್ಲ; ನನ್ನ ಸಂಶೋಧನಾ ಮತ್ತು ಶೈಕ್ಷಣಿಕ ಪಯಣದ ಪ್ರಮುಖ ಭಾಗವಾಗಿದೆ. ಇಲ್ಲಿನ ಕಲೆ, ಸಂಗೀತ, ಸಾಹಿತ್ಯ, ಶಿಕ್ಷಣ ಮತ್ತು ಪ್ರಕೃತಿಯ ಪರಂಪರೆ ಸಂಶೋಧನೆ, ಬೋಧನೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಚಿಂತನೆಗೆ ಸ್ಫೂರ್ತಿದಾಯಕ ವಾತಾವರಣವನ್ನು ಒದಗಿಸಿದೆ.
