Surindar Kumar Trehan (S.K. Trehan) was an Indian mathematician who specialised in non-linear stability in magnetohydrodynamics.

He was awarded in 1976 the Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology, the highest science award in India, in the mathematical sciences category. Prof. Trehan has done significant work on stability of force-free magnetic fields, stability of jets and cylinders and stability of inhomogeneous plasmas. His work on the mathematical treatment of gaseous polytropes in the presence of a magnetic field is a breakthrough in this area. He has also done important work on hydromagnetic waves and rotating gaseous masses.[1]

Academic and Research Achievements: Trehan made significant contributions to our understanding of the stability of force- free magnetic fields, of jets and cylinders, and of inhomogenous plasmas. His work on the mathematical treatment of gaseous polytropes in the presence of a magnetic field was noted with keen interest. He also made contributions to the study of hydromagnetic waves and rotating gaseous masses. He carried out nonlinear studies in magnetohydrodynamics. He provided, for the first time, a consistent account of the modulational stability of bounded systems taking into account the boundary conditions consistently.

Other Contributions: Dr Trehan served on many expert committees of CSIR, UGC, etc.; Governing Council of Indian Statistical Institute and Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science

(The links indicated in red refers to " not created yet") ; and Member, INSA Council (1977-79). He was also Editor, Bulletin of the Astronomical Society of India (1980-91); Member, Editorial boards of: Journal of Astrophysics and Astronomy, and some other journals; and Editor of INSA Publications (1979-82).
