Aninda Sinha is an Indian scientist working as an associate professor at Center for High Energy Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India.[1]

Early life and education

Sinha finished his schooling from Don Bosco Park Circus, Kolkata. He obtained his B. Sc. From Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 1999, and MA, CASM and Ph. D. from University of Cambridge. He ranked first in B.Sc. and won the Mayhew prize for the part III mathematics degree in Cambridge. His PhD advisor was Professor Michael Green.

Profession

Sinha is currently working as an associate professor at Center for High Energy Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He was awarded the Swarnajayanti Fellowship, instituted by the Department of Science and Technology, India.[2] He won the 2016 ICTP Prize. Sinha is known for his work with Rob Myers on c-theorems in quantum field theories.[3] Sinha and his wife, Urbasi Sinha, an associate professor at the Raman Research Institute (RRI), along with other scientists in RRI working in similar areas set up a tabletop experiment that will provide scientists their first opportunity to measure the probability that particles can move through slits in a twisted path.[4] Subsequently this prediction has been verified experimentally.[5][6]
