Aparna Baskaran
Aparna Baskaran is an Indian and American theoretical physicist whose research studies the statistical mechanics of soft matter, including the self-propelled motion of bacteria through fluids and the clustering of self-propelled particles. She is a professor in the Martin A. Fisher School of Physics at Brandeis University.[1]
Education and career
[edit]Baskaran earned a master's degree in physics at the Raman School of Physics of Pondicherry University in India.[2] She completed her Ph.D. at the University of Florida in 2006.[1] Her dissertation, Statistical mechanics and linear response for a granular fluid, was supervised by James Duffy.[3]
After postdoctoral research at Syracuse University she joined the Brandeis University faculty as an assistant professor in 2010,[2] and subsequently became a full professor there.[1]
Recognition
[edit]Baskaran was the 2019 recipient of the Early Career Award for Soft Matter Research of the American Physical Society (APS).[4] She was elected as a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 2024, after a nomination from the APS Division of Soft Matter, "for seminal contributions exploiting nonequilibrium statistical physics to elucidate the physics of active and granular matter".[5]
