Biography
Dr. Rishikesh Vaidya is a faculty member of the Physics department, Birla Institute of Technology and Science Pilani, Pilani campus. Dr. Rishikesh Vaidya did his Ph.D. from Physical Research Laboratory (PRL), Ahmedabad. He was a Post Doctoral Fellow at PRL, National Central University, Taiwan, and the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai. His research interests are in the areas of theoretical particle physics, Physics of neutrinos (lightest and least interacting and yet most puzzling!), Supersymmetry (If fermions(bosons) have Bosonic(Fermionic) partners, it solves many big mysteries, albeit, not without introducing newer and grander ones!), Baryogenesis (Laws treat matter-antimatter symmetrically, yet why there is no anti-matter? ), Favor Physics (Why fermionic matter shows up in 6 different “flavors”, in “hierarchical” families and “mix-in” peculiarly!).
Research Interest
Theoretical particle physics.
