Biographical / Historical
Ram Kumar Varma was born on 31 March 1935. Varma completed his BSc from Agra University in 1953 and MSc from Lucknow University in 1956. He then joined TIFR as a research assistant.As a Fullbright scholar, Varma completed in PhD from University of Californial La Jolla in 1965 under the plasma physicist Marshall Rosenbluth. Varma also worked as a research assistant at NASA Langley Research Centre before returning to TIFR in 1966. Varma joined Physical Research Laboratory (PRL) on the invitation of Sarabhai to join a new plasma physics programme. At PRL, Varma worked on various aspects of plasma instabilities, plasma turbulence with applications to fusion and space phenomena. His research was also focussed on quantum–classical relationship with respect to non-adiabatic effects in charged particle trajectories in a magnetic field. Varma also taught courses on plasma physics while at PRL and was its director between 1987-95.
