Indian physicist Allady Ramakrishnan commemoration today June 7, 2008)., who has contributed to particle physics, quantum mechanics, matrix algebra, and particular relativity theory.
Alladi Ramakrishnan was born in Chennai on August 9, 1923. His father
was the famous lawyer Sir Allady Krishnaswamy Iyer. As a member of the
Constitutional Council, he was instrumental in drawing up the Indian
Constitution with other prominent members. BS in Madras She received her early
education in high school. B.Sc in Presidency College, Madras. (Hans) Degree in
Physics and as a student of the College he wanted to work under Sir CV Raman.
In consultation with his father Raman, Raman suggested reading the Lehrbuch der
Theoretisen Physique by George Juice. Ramakrishnan read the book and developed
an interest in theoretical physics and special relativity.
After graduating from Presidency College, Ramakrishnan started working
with Homi Baba at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR). At TIFR,
Baba introduced him to the fluctuating problem of layer theory and cosmic radiation.
In August 1949, he received his M.S. He moved to England to work under
Bartlett. Ramakrishnan's work on the product density he did while at TIFR was
enough work for Ph.D. But he stayed in Manchester for a further two years to
meet his residency requirements. His work on product density was revealed in
the Proceedings of the Cambridge Philosophical Society.
After returning to Chennai from the Advanced Research Institute in 1958,
Ramakrishnan started a theoretical physics seminar at his family home, Ekamra
Niwas (a house with a mango tree). At the seminar, he gave a small group of
students lectures on the latest advances in theoretical physics. He invited the
world's leading scientists to address more students. In 1960, Nobel laureate Niels
War visited India. And Ramakrishnan was impressed by the small number of
students he trained. While in India, Niels went to war with Dr. Ramakrishnan's
family home and was inspired to create an institute for advanced research. With
the recommendation of the war, and with the support of the then Prime Minister
of India, Jawaharlal Nehru and C. Subramaniam, Alladi started building the
Ramakrishnan Institute of Mathematical Sciences. In 1962, Ramakrishnan took
over as director. Subramanian Chandrasekhar, a Nobel laureate and a professor
at the University of Chicago, started the institute at the Presidency College
in Madras. Chandrasekhar has been acknowledged as the Honorary Professor of
Astrophysics at this institute.
Ramakrishnan has lectured in over 200 learning centers in his Mad Science. He was unusually generous in giving his Ph.D. Students must travel to learning centers abroad. This will benefit his students. It firmly believes that research is an international step, even if it brings the risk of losing talented students to other institutions. After his retirement, Ramakrishnan continued to teach and encourage. In the last decades of his life, many high school students and undergraduates came to his home in Madras to study with him. They then pursued higher education in the United States.
Ramakrishnan married Lalitha, daughter of mathematics professor
H.Supramani Iyer. His son, Krishnasamy Alladi, is a professor of mathematics at
the University of Florida, Gainesville, Florida. Ramakrishnan was an associate
of Carnatic music. He was convinced that more art and science could join hands.
Indian physicist Alladi Ramakrishnan left this world on June 7, 2008, at 85 at her son's home in Gainesville, Florida.
