Indian Institute of Science Remembers SKR

from Dr. K.L. Sebastian, IISc

I was lucky to have known SKR closely for a long time. I did not have the fortune to be a doctoral student of his, as I was already into the third year of my research when he joined the IPC dept. But I was associated with him as a postdoc. The interaction that I had with him has changed the course of my life. He was a genius. As my close friend Jyothi Basu used to say: the others that we meet, we can easily understand them and reach their levels of attainment (if we try), but with SKR that was impossible. He was in a class by himself. A true Genius and a marvelous person. We were privileged to have known him.
