Harish Chandra Verma

Harish Chandra Verma is an Indian nuclear experimental physicist and educationist whose chief interest lies in Condensed Matter and Materials Applications. He is also interested in Earth Science problems, such as meteorites and extinction boundaries. Verma is famous for his book, "Concepts of Physics", Part 1 and Part 2, a general reading Physics textbook at intermediate level that is useful for a good understanding. Currently, he is writing a text book on Quantum Mechanics.

Verma obtained his doctoral degree at the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) in Kanpur, working under the supervision of Professor G.N. Rao. He subsequently worked as a lecturer and then Reader at Patna University in India. Presently he is working on nanocrystalline magnetic materials and alloy systems at the Physics department of IIT Kanpur where he joined in 1994.

Verma is doing much to spread awareness about India's cultural values, ancient heritage and advancements through his lectures and other means. A believer in fair opportunitiy for all deserving students, he is opposed to Congress's recent proposal for a 49% reservation. He is aiming for a better experiment-based and intuitive education at school as well as at college level through his a "School Physics Project".

Verma is also a poet whose poems can be viewed at his [http://home.iitk.ac.in/~hcverma/index.htm homepage; he is also an active swayamsevak.
