Ramanath Cowsik
[4][7] He continued his master's studies at the Karnatak university in Dharwar,[8] to secure the degree in physics in 1960, aged 19[4] and joined the Atomic Energy Establishment Training School,[9] present day Homi Bhabha National Institute, Trombay where he did a post graduate course.
[4] In December 2002, he moved to Washington University in St. Louis and serves at the McDonnell Centre for the Space Sciences[11] as the Professor of Physics and Director.
[14] Cowsik, who is known to be proficient in languages such as Tamil, Hindi, Kannada, Sanskrit, English, German and French,[4] is married to Sudha, a research instructor and a doctoral degree (PhD) holder, associated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biophysics of the Washington University in St.
He argued that, post the Big Bang, gravitationally dominant relicts were formed from the particles with finite rest mass, resulting in the formation of halos of dark matter with galaxies embedded within.
[18] These theories are said to have explained the velocity dispersion of particles of dark matter and reproduced the luminosity profiles and ratified the rotation curves of galaxies.
[4] He is involved in experiments related to Grand Unified Theory and attempts to probe violations of the inverse square law of gravity at sub-millimeter scales.
[2][4] He has conducted extensive research on pre-solar grains of aluminum oxide found in meteorites and has devised a methodology to assess the age of the universe from them.
[2][7][19] Ramanath Cowsik is credited with the first detailed calculations on neutrino fluxes generated atmospheric cosmic ray interactions and observations of the same in underground detectors.
[7] He is involved in the development of a more sensitive torsion balance for probing the violations of the Inverse-square law of gravity at millimeter scales,[2][7][13] Cowsik, who has drawn comparison with the renowned physicist, Enrico Fermi for his achievements in theoretical and experimental physics,[4] has published his experiments and observations in several scientific papers[7] published in peer reviewed journals[22][23][24] and ResearchGate, an online repository has listed 193 of them.
