Rohini Godbole

摘要

"I have read your husband's papers - great work!" exclaimed a German physicist as he shook hands with Rohini Godbole. The seminal papers on particle physics, he assumed, had been written by a man. But the author was Godbole herself- and the remark was one of many that she has deflected throughout her career. Based at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, Godbole is one of her country's few leading physicists. In 1991, she discovered a way to describe the complex interplay of high-energy particles in linear colliders with Manuel Drees, now at the University of Bonn in Germany. Godbole is now one of the 16 members of the International Detector Advisory Group for the proposed International Linear Collider.
