Shiraz Minwalla
Shiraz Minwalla (born January 2, 1972 in Mumbai ) is an Indian string theorist .
He studied at the Indian Institute of Technology in Kanpur , where he graduated in 1995, and received his PhD from Princeton University under Nathan Seiberg . He was a Junior Fellow and Assistant Professor at Harvard University and is at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Mumbai.
His contributions to theoretical physics include the calculation of three-point functions in N = 4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory and AdS / CFT (connection to the Navier-Stokes equation of hydrodynamics), non-commutative perturbative dynamics (with Nathan Seiberg and Mark van Raamsdonk, non-commutative solitons), OM theory (with Nathan Seiberg, Andrew Strominger and Rajesh Gopakumar ) and contributions to tachyon condensation .
In 2010 he received the ICTP Prize and in 2010 the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize . In 2013 he received the Infosys Prize.
For 2014 he was awarded the New Horizons in Physics Prize for pioneering work in string theory and quantum field theory and especially for his work on the relationship between equations of hydrodynamics and general relativity (laudation).
