Biography
Born in Akhtiyarpur, in the Indian state of
In 1959, Sinha had returned to India to join the National Chemical Laboratory as a group leader at the Solid State and Molecular Physics Unit. He carried out research there until 1968, when he had an opportunity to join Bell Labs in New Jersey. Sinha's stay at the Murray Hill facility lasted two years. On his return to India in 1970, he joined the Indian Institute of Science as a senior professor at the department of physics, commencing a service which would last over three and a half decades. During this period, Sinha chaired a number of divisions such as the Division of Applied Mathematics (1971-73 and 1975-77) and the Centre for Theoretical Studies (1972-73 and 1981-87) for two terms each, and the Division of Physics and Mathematics from 1972 to 1976. On his superannuation from regular service in 1990, Sinha continued his association with IISc as a senior scientist of the Indian National Science Academy (INSA) during 1990-93, as a distinguished scientist of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research from 1996 to 1998, and as an INSA honorary scientist since 2006.[2]
Besides holding the directorship of the Institute of Fundamental Research on Complex System of
Sinha, who held the position of emeritus professor of the Indian Institute of Science since his superannuation,
Legacy
Sinha's theoretical work covered various aspects of solid state physics and he has made significant contributions in the field of crystal magnetism.
Sinha's studies have been documented by way of a number of articles,[10][note 2] and online article repositories such as Google Scholar and ResearchGate have listed many of them.[11][12] He has published 6 books which included Foundry Technology,[13] Interactions in magnetically ordered solids,[14] Aspects of Gravitational Interactions,[15] High Temperature Superconductivity: Current Results and Novel Mechanisms[16] and Magnetic superconductors: recent developments.[17] and has contributed chapters to books published by others[18][19][20] His work has also drawn citations from a number of authors.[21][22][23][24] and he has supervised the doctoral and post doctoral studies of 45 scholars.[2]
Sinha is credited with initiating theoretical studies on
Awards and honours
Sinha, a founder fellow of the Indian Cryogenic Council, was elected as a fellow by the Indian Academy of Sciences in 1971
