A. P. Balachandran
Aiyalam Parameswaran Balachandran ((マラヤーラム語:ഐയ്ലം പരമേശ്വരന് ബാലചന്ദ്രന്); born January 25, 1938) is an Indian theoretical physicist well known for his extensive contributions to the role of classical topology in quantum physics. He has been the Joel Dorman Steele Professor of Physics in Syracuse University since 2000. He has also been a Fellow of the American Physical Society and awarded a prize by the U.S. Chapter of the Indian Physics Association in recognition of his outstanding scientific contributions.〔(Physics at Syracuse )〕 In 1990, Syracuse University honored him with a Chancellor's Citation for Exceptional Academic Achievement, and in 1991 he was qualified for the university's William Wasserstrom Prize for Outstanding Graduate Teaching.〔
Prof. Balachandran's key scientific works to date include the revival of the Skyrme model which successfully describes baryons as topological solitons of meson fields and extensive applications and popularisation of mathematical concepts such as homotopy groups and fibre bundles to problems in quantum physics. Lately Prof. Balachandran's research has been focused on the formulation of quantum field theories on noncommutative spacetimes and investigating the emergent significance of Hopf algebras in quantum physics as generalisations of symmetry groups.〔(Faces and places ), CERN Courier, September 2003, describing a celebration of Balachandran's 65th birthday held at a meeting on Spacetime and Fundamental Interactions: Quantum Aspects near Naples, Italy, in May 2003.〕
==Early life and education==
Balachandran was born on 25 January 1938 in Salem, Tamil Nadu, India. His Father Aiyalam Sundaram Parameswaran was a chartered accountant in Pierce Leslie and Company in Cochin. His mother Alamelu had high school education and was a housewife. Father's ancestral family came from Aiyalam and Parali villages in Kerala. They had a house and a small orchard in Parali. Balachandran has a brother Sankaran and sister Malathi and they spent their school years in Eranakulam, a locality in Cochin, and Kozhikode. Kerala was in a state of rapid social change with strong left movements when Balachandran was growing up. There were constant resonances of the ambient cultural and literary resurgence in Sri Ramavarma High School where Balachandran studied. Balachandran had a gifted poet, Vyloppilli Sreedhara Menon, as his teacher. Balachandran completed his first two college years in Guruvayurappan College, Kozhikode specailising in physics, chemistry and mathematics and passing the 'Intermediate Examination' with all-State distinction in 1953. At the time when engineering was a fashion due to the availability of jobs, Balachandran wanted to do mathematics, which had poor job prospects. As a compromise, he joined B.Sc.(Hons) in Physics in the Madras Christian College, Tambaram, Chennai. Balachandran passed out of MCC in 1958.
