Professor Mustansir Barma, Director, TIFR
Mustansir Barma is a theoretical physicist working in the area of statistical physics. His research interests include non-equilibrium statistical mechanics, phase transitions, and disordered systems. In recent years, he has worked on deposition-evaporation dynamics of extended objects, driven systems with quenched disorder, and large scale clustering in passive scalar problems. He did his undergraduate work at St. Xavier's College, Mumbai and his Ph. D. at the State University of New York at Stony Brook. After postdoctoral work at Michigan State University, he joined TIFR in 1976, and has been there since, except for extended visits to Cornell University and the University of Oxford. He has received several honours and awards, and is a fellow of the national academies of science in India, and the Academy of Sciences for the Developing World (TWAS). Between 2002 and 2005, he served as chairman of the C3 commission on statistical physics of the International Union of Pure and Applied Physics.
