Prof. Senthil Todadri is a Professor at Massachusetts Institute of Technology and a distinguished physicist known for his groundbreaking work in condensed matter theory. His pioneering contributions include the theory of deconfined quantum criticality, which describes a new class of phase transitions, and the discovery of dualities in quantum field theories related to two-dimensional superconducting states. These discoveries have far-reaching implications across many areas in the field of physics.
Prof. Todadri's excellence in research has been recognized with prestigious honors, including his election as a Simons Investigator, a Sloan Research Fellow, and a fellow of the American Physical Society. In 2023, he was inducted into the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, and in 2024, he was elected to the National Academy of Sciences, USA.
After completing his undergraduate studies at the Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur, and earning his PhD from Yale University, he further honed his expertise as a postdoctoral researcher at the Kavli Institute for Theoretical Physics in Santa Barbara, California. Since 2001, Prof. Todadri has been a professor of physics at MIT, where his research focuses on exploring novel phases and phase transitions of quantum matter that extend beyond conventional paradigms.
Honoring his stellar contribution in the field of Theoretical and Condensed Matter Physics. IIT Kanpur confers upon Prof. Senthil Todadri the Distinguished Alumnus Award 2024.
