    A Brief Introduction:

    Dr H Nandakumar Sarma got his M.Sc. degree of Physics from Banaras Hindu University in the year 1968. As a CSIR fellow, he did research on Mossbauer effect at BHU. After that he went to the Blackett Laboratory of Physics of the Royal College of Science in Imperial College of Science and Technology, University of London.

    He did research on pion-nucleon scattering experiments using the atom smashing machine-7GeV proton synchrotron at the Rutherford Laboratory, Oxfordshire. Besides, he did experiments on thermal and ultra cold neutron scattering experiments at the United Kingdom Atomic Energy Agency (UKAE) Harwell. He has wide interest in sculpture and painting of the renaissance period. Professor Sarma Visited places like Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, Switzerland and Paris. He has witten more than two hundred popular science article in Manipuri and English.

    He joined J N University of Center of P.G.Studies, Imphal which is now Manipur University as Fellow Associate Professor on 8th February 1977. He is the founder Head of Physics Department, Computer Centre and Computer Science Department of Manipur University. Professor Sarma initiated the post graduate teaching programmes in physics. On his guidence experimental facility for M Sc Physics was set up.

    On the research front his area of interest are superconductivity, ferroelectric, ferrites, XRF, PIXE, thin films and solar energy etc.

    He has taken keen interest in science and technology coverage in mass media and has been actively involved in popularization of science to society. He was the Co-ordinator for Sky Watch Programmes, Like the Transit Of Venus, which occurred on the 8th of june 2004, Solar Eclipse of 24th October 1995, 11th August 1999 and 22nd July 2009. Large number of students from Schools, Colleges and Public were gathered at the Department for the rare events. Two Newtonian Telescope (6" and 8") were utilized for the purpose. He was the editor of the Bulletin of the Manipur Science Association. When he was Dean School of Science of Manipur University. He took initiative for the organization of Manipur Science Congress under the Sponsership of the DST Government of Manipur, and DST Government of India.

    Professor Sarma is a DST (GOI)nominated member of Sofisticated Instrumentation facility (XRF/XRD), Gawhati University. He is also life time member of Indian Physics Association, Indian Institute of Public Administration and Indian Society of Analytical Scientist.

    Professor Sarma has attended many international and national conferences. Recently attended the one day conference on "Thin Film Solar Photovoltaics" on 16th Sept. 2009 at the Institute of Physics, London, He presented paper on 'Ion Beam Analysis" on the 19th International Conference on Ion Beam Analysis held at University of Cambridge, United Kingdom from 7th-11th September 2009.
