Hulikal Ramaiengar Krishnamurthy (born 1951) is an Indian theoretical physicist. He specializes in theoretical condensed matter physics, especially quantum many-body theory and statistical physics.[1] He was the chairman of the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science.[2] His most well-known work is titled Renormalization Group Approach to the Anderson Model of Dilute Magnetic Alloys.[3]

Biography

Indian Institute of Science

Krishnamurthy obtained his BSc (Hons) in Physics (1970) from

Kondo problem to the symmetric Anderson impurity model.[4]
The extension to the asymmetric case was completed during his post-doctoral tenure (1976–78) at the University of Illinois. Krishnamurthy returned to India and joined the Department of Physics, IISc, Bangalore (1978) and became a Professor (1996). He has held sabbatical positions at Princeton University, Harvard University, Ohio State University, University of Cincinnati, UC Davis and Georgetown University.
