Apoorva D. Patel is a Professor at the Centre for High Energy Physics,
Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He is notable for his work on
quantum algorithms, and the application of information theory concepts to understand the structure of genetic languages. [ [http://www.newscientist.com/article/mg16622344.400-life-force.html Mark Buchanan, "Life force," "New Scientist", 2234, 15th April 2000.] ] His major field of work has been the theory of QCD, where he has used lattice gauge theory techniques to investigate spectral properties, phase transitions, and matrix elements.

Education

He obtained his MSc in Physics (1980) from the Indian Institute of Technology, Mumbai, and PhD in Physics from the California Institute of Technology (Caltech) under Geoffrey Fox (1984), resulting in a thesis entitled: "Monte Carlo Renormalisation Group for Lattice QCD."

Career

He was a Scientific Associate, Theory Division, CERN, Geneva, Switzerland, 1987-1989,and the in 1989 he joined the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, as a faculty member.

Personal life

In 1989 he married Rashmi, a surgeon specializing in laparoscopy and endosurgery. His son, Aavishkar, was born 1990.
