According to Wikipedia, Sudhansu Datta Majumdar was an Indian physicist, and faculty member of the Indian Institute of Technology, Kharagpur. Biography Born in 1915 in Sylhet , Sudhansu Datta Majumdar had his education in Sylhet; Presidency College, Calcutta, and University College of Science also called Rajabazar Science College, Calcutta University. In an academic career spanning several decades, he served in different capacities in various institutions. Beginning with a stint in the Palit Laboratory of Physics, Rajabazar Science College, Calcutta University, from where he wrote the now famous Majumdar–Papapetrou paper, he was appointed Lecturer in Physics in Calcutta University in 1951. Subsequently, he became a reader there in 1960. During 1956–57, he went to Cambridge University, United Kingdom, on an educational tour to interact with P. A. M. Dirac. In 1962, Majumdar obtained the rare honour of the degree of D.Sc. in Physics from Sc. College, Calcutta University, one of his thesis examiners being J.A. Wheeler. Three years later, in 1965, he joined IIT, Kharagpur, as a Professor of Physics where he served till 1975. His last academic appointment was, as a Professor of Mathematics in Visva Bharati, Shantiniketan. In 1974, he was invited by Yeshiva University, New York, to deliver a course of lectures. He visited the Mathematics Department, Monash University, Australia, between July and December 1976. Calcutta Mathematical Society elected him as their president in 1980. The diverse areas in which he contributed substantially include --- general relativity, electrodynamics, group theory and spectroscopy. He died in Calcutta in 1997.
