Grateful to be recognized by @WolfPrize for the composite fermion, and to be in the company of two incredible physicists I greatly admire.
The honor truly belongs to my students, collaborators and numerous other researchers whose brilliant work transformed the composite fermion from an idea to reality.
Looking back, it is hard to believe how incredibly fortunate I have been. Growing up in a poor village in India, traumatized by an accident that left me on crutches with a lifelong disability, I did not think I would ever walk again or attend college, let alone pursue my dream of becoming a physicist. I don’t have words to express my profound gratitude to my family, friends, colleagues, mentors, and even strangers who have helped and supported me at every juncture.
My heartfelt thanks to @ncert for a science scholarship; to @BmvssJaipurFoot for enabling me to pursue higher studies; to Maharaja College @Uniraj_Jaipur, @IITKanpur, @stonybrooku, @condensed_the@UofMaryland, @Yale, @PSUScience@penn_state for taking a chance on me; and to @iiscbangalore, @IISERPune, @TIFRScience, @Infosys Professorship for providing me a home away from home.
Little did I know when the idea of composite fermion first struck me during the Christmas break of 1988 that it would occupy my mind for the next 37 years. My hope is that this prize will motivate the younger generation to experience the beauty of scientific laws and the thrill of discovery.

It was a great pleasure to interact with Dr Michael Spence, Provost and President @ucl, in the EEE Quantum Engineering Lab @ucleeenews. We discussed challenges in quantum science and how experiments are conducted using dilution refrigerators @SarahKSpurgeon@UKRI_News@EPSRC
We, at the Weizmann Institute of Science, are ashamed of, and dismayed by the Israeli government, who is threatening to crush all the conditions for the existence of a healthy civil society, and to act contrary to the law and the court’s order. (1/6)
We are welcoming applicants for our 2023 #internship Programme hosted by the Quantum Hardware team, who are responsible for designing, validating & operating quantum processors based on silicon.
