Surajit Dhara

Surajit Dhara is a physics topic covered in the lgStudy science library. This page brings together a partial reference excerpt, illustrations, worked examples, real-world applications and a short study plan, so you can understand Surajit Dhara rather than just read about it. In short: Surajit Dhara (born 28 February 1975) is an Indian physicist affiliated to the School of Physics in University of Hyderabad, Telangana, in various capacities since 2006. His area of special interest is soft matter physics.

Key takeaways

Surajit Dhara belongs to physics; place it in that map before memorising details.
Learn the definition first, then one example that makes the definition concrete.
Connect Surajit Dhara to a quantity you can measure, compute or draw — that is where exam questions come from.
Reproduce the core statement of Surajit Dhara from memory before moving on to harder problems.

Reference excerpt

Surajit Dhara (born 28 February 1975) is an Indian physicist affiliated to the School of Physics in University of Hyderabad, Telangana, in various capacities since 2006. His area of special interest is soft matter physics. He studies control and manipulation of topological defects of liquid crystals, elasticity and defect mediated directed assembly, topological active matter, rheology and photonics of liquid crystals. He is a recipient of the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology for his contributions to physical sciences in 2020. Surajit Dhara obtained his B.Sc. degree from Ramananda College (Bishnupur) in 1995, M.Sc. degree from University of Burdwan in 1998 and Ph.D. degree from Raman Research Institute, Bangalore, in 2004. He was a postdoctoral fellow in Tokyo Institute of Technology, Japan, in 2008, a visiting scientist at Jozef Stefan Institute, University of Ljubljana, Slovenia, during 2013–2018 and a visiting professor at Ulsan National Institute of Science and Technology, South Korea, in 2018. In 2021, he became a laureate of the Asian Scientist 100 by the Asian Scientist.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Surajit Dhara

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Surajit Dhara claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Surajit Dhara before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Surajit Dhara ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Surajit Dhara

In research: Surajit Dhara appears in physics research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Surajit Dhara in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Surajit Dhara is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1975 births, 21st-century Indian physicists, Indian physicists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Surajit Dhara outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
