Who is venkat raman

Rotating Detonation Engine RDE is about the scariest name a technology can have, but it also has the promise of overcoming one of the great problems of modern aerospace engineering. Conventional propulsion systems for aircraft, missiles, and rockets are all very close to their theoretical limits, with very little wiggle room left for getting much […].

Since at that time a scientific career did not appear to present the best possibilities, Raman joined the Indian Finance Department in ; though the duties of his office took most of his time, Raman found opportunities for carrying on experimental research in the laboratory of the Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science at Calcutta of which he became Honorary Secretary in In he was offered the newly endowed Palit Chair of Physics at Calcutta University, and decided to accept it.

After 15 years at Calcutta he became Professor at the Indian Institute of Science at Bangalore , and since he is Director of the Raman Institute of Research at Bangalore, established and endowed by himself.

He also founded the Indian Journal of Physics in , of which he is the Editor. Raman sponsored the establishment of the Indian Academy of Sciences and has served as President since its inception. He also initiated the Proceedings of that academy, in which much of his work has been published, and is President of the Current Science Association, Bangalore, which publishes Current Science India.

He contributed an article on the theory of musical instruments to the 8th Volume of the Handbuch der Physik , Other investigations carried out by Raman were: his experimental and theoretical studies on the diffraction of light by acoustic waves of ultrasonic and hypersonic frequencies published , and those on the effects produced by X-rays on infrared vibrations in crystals exposed to ordinary light.
