'''Apoorva D. Patel''' is a Professor at the Centre for High Energy Physics,<br />
[[Indian Institute of Science]], [[Bangalore]]. He is notable for his work on<br />
[[quantum algorithms]], and the application of [[information theory]] concepts to <br />
understand the structure of [[Genetics|genetic]] [[language]]s.<ref>[https://www.newscientist.com/article/mg16622344.400-life-force.html Mark Buchanan, "Life force," ''New Scientist'', '''2234''', 15 April 2000.]</ref> His major field of work has been the theory of [[quantum chromodynamics]], where he has used [[lattice gauge theory]] techniques to investigate spectral properties, phase transitions, and matrix elements.<br />
<br />
==Education==<br />
He obtained his MSc in Physics (1980) from the [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay]], and PhD in Physics from the [[California Institute of Technology]] under [[Geoffrey C. Fox]] (1984), with a thesis entitled: ''Monte Carlo Renormalisation Group for Lattice QCD.''<ref>[[Derek Abbott]], [[Paul C.W. Davies]], and [[Arun K. Pati]], ''Quantum Aspects of Life,'' Imperial College Press, 2008, p. 219.</ref> Prof. [[Richard Feynman]] was on his PhD thesis evaluation committee. The picture displayed above is from his graduation day at [[California Institute of Technology]].<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
He was a Scientific Associate, Theory Division, [[CERN]], [[Geneva]], [[Switzerland]], 1987–1989,<br />
and then in 1989 he joined the [[Indian Institute of Science]], Bangalore, as a faculty member.<ref>[http://cts.iisc.ernet.in/Personnel/adpatel.html Patel's CV] {{webarchive |url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080620005058/http://cts.iisc.ernet.in/Personnel/adpatel.html |date=20 June 2008 }}</ref><br />
<br />
