Anita Mehta (born Calcutta) is an Indian physicist. She[1] is a Leverhulme Visiting Professor[2] at the University of Oxford[3]. Her current research is aimed at deciphering complexity in natural and artificial systems, with special emphasis on granular physics, long-term memory and optimisation[4], as described in this recent interview. She is currently an Academic Visitor of Somerville College.
Life
After her B.Sc. in Physics from Presidency College, Calcutta, Mehta went to Oxford as the second Indian woman Rhodes Scholar[5] to St Catherine's College, Oxford University, graduating with an MA and a DPhil in Theoretical Physics [4]. She then did postdoctoral work at IBM, following this with a Research Associateship under the mentorship of Professor Sir Sam Edwards, when she pioneered the field of granular physics at the Cavendish Laboratory, Cambridge.[6] Mehta was elected India's first Radcliffe Fellow to Harvard[7] in 2006 and in 2007, awarded the Fellowship of the American Physical Society[8]. Mehta has been a visiting professor at the University of Rome, the University of Leipzig, the Institut de Physique Theorique, CEA Saclay and the Max Planck Institute for Mathematics in the Sciences[9] among others.[4]
