'''Tiruppattur Venkatachalamurti Ramakrishnan''' {{post-nominals|size=100%|country=GBR|FRS}} (born 14 August 1941) is an Indian [[theoretical physicist]] known for his contributions in [[condensed matter physics]]. He is at present [[Department of Atomic Energy (India)|DAE]] [[Homi J. Bhabha|Homi Bhabha]] Professor of Physics at [[Benaras Hindu University]] and also the chancellor of [[Tripura University]].

==Biography==
Tiruppattur Venkatachalamurti Ramakrishnan was born on 14 August 1941 in [[Madras]], [[Tamil Nadu]]. He completed his [[Bachelor of Science|B.Sc (Hons.)]] and [[Master of Science|M.Sc]] in Physics from [[Banaras Hindu University]] in 1959 and 1961. He then worked as a [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research|CSIR]] [[research fellow]] at [[Banaras Hindu University]] from 1961 to 1962. He later completed his [[Ph.D.]] from [[Columbia University]] in 1966.<ref name='TVRcv'>{{cite web | url = http://www.physics.iisc.ernet.in/~tvrama/cv1.htm | title = Curriculum Vitae of T. V.

He started his professional career as lecturer in the [[Indian Institute of Technology, Kanpur]]. He shifted to the [[Indian Institute of Science]], [[Bangalore]] in 1986 where he continued till 2003. He also served on the Physical Sciences jury for the [[Infosys Prize]] from 2010 to 2013.

Ramakrishnan has made seminal contributions to the scaling theory of electron localization.<ref>{{cite web | title = Phys. Rev. Lett. 42, 673 (1979): Scaling Theory of Localization: Absence of Quantum Diffusion in Two Dimensions | url = http://prl.aps.org/abstract/PRL/v42/i10/p673_1}}</ref> He has made contributions to the theory of [[phase transitions|liquid to solid transition]] and of mixed valence systems.
