Smitha Vishveshwara is a Professor of Condensed Matter Physics at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.
Her work has taken her all over the world including New Zealand for a conference and a public talk, the first official event to commemorate the International Year of Quantum Science and Technology.
Passionate about the arts, Professor Smitha has collaborated with theatres and circus troupes to create performances that communicate the meaning and theories behind quantum physics.
Smitha recently released Two Revolutions: Einstein's Relativity and Quantum Physics - a series of letters written between her and her father – the late physicist C.V. Vishveshwara. She speaks to Mihi.
