Dr. Amol Dighe is a Professor of Physics in Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, in the Department of Theoretical Physics. He works in the area of High Energy Physics, which aims to understand the nature of fundamental interactions by studying properties of elementary particles. His recent research has focused on the particles known as neutrinos: their nature and the role they play in astrophysics and cosmology. He looks for signals of new physics at experiments like the Large Hadron Collider, and in the particles that come from the sky.
Dr. Eknath Ghate, currently working at Tata Institute of Fundamental Research as an associate professor in Mathematics, is a prominent figure in Indian Mathematics. He is an alumni of St. Stephen’s College, New Delhi, and got his PhD from the University of California, Los Angeles, in 1996. He specializes in Number theory and is mostly interested in problems connected to automorphic forms, Galois representations, and the special values of L-functions.
