  • Professor Helen Quinn

    Professor Helen Quinn

    Professor Helen Quinn Helen Quinn was born in Australia and grew up in the Melbourne suburbs of Blackburn and Mitcham. She attended Tintern Girls Grammar School in Ringwood East. She matriculated successfully and obtained a cadetship from the Australian Department of Meteorology to fund her studies at the University of Melbourne. After beginning her undergraduate studies at the University, her family migrated to San Francisco in the early 1960s. Professor Quinn finished her undergraduate, and eventually graduate education at Stanford University. After receiving her doctorate from Stanford in 1967, she held a postdoctoral position at Deutsches Elektronen Synchrotron in Hamburg, Germany, then served as a research fellow at Harvard in 1971, joining the faculty there in 1972. She returned to Stanford in 1976 as a visitor on a Sloan Fellowship and joined the staff at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Centre (SLAC) in 1977. In her current position as a theoretical physicist at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC), Professor Quinn has made important contributions towards unifying the strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions into a single coherent model of particle physics. In 2000 she was awarded the Dirac Medal and Prize for pioneering contributions to the quest for a unified theory of quarks and leptons and of the strong, weak, and electromagnetic interactions. The award, shared with Professors Howard Georgi of Harvard and Jogesh Pati of the University of Maryland, recognized Professor Quinn for her work on the unification of the three interactions, and for fundamental insights about charge-parity conservation. She has also recently developed basic analysis methods used to search for the origin of particle-antiparticle asymmetry in nature.

    Cobbling Together the Dream Indian Eleven

    COBBLING TOGETHER THE DREAM INDIAN ELEVEN Whenever the five selectors, often dubbed as the five wise men with the onerous responsibility of cobbling together the best players comprising India’s test cricket team, sit together to pick the team they feel the heat of the country’s collective gaze resting on them. Choosing India’s cricket team is one of the most difficult tasks as the final squad is subjected to intense scrutiny by anybody and everybody. Generally the point veers round to questions such as why batsman A was not picked or bowler B was dropped from the team. That also makes it a very pleasurable hobby for followers of the game who have their own views as to who should make the final 15 or 16 when the team is preparing to leave our shores on an away visit or gearing up to face an opposition on a tour of our country. Arm chair critics apart, sports writers find it an enjoyable professional duty when they sit down to select their own team as newspapers speculate on the composition of the squad pointing out why somebody should be in the team at the expense of another. The reports generally appear on the sports pages on the morning of the team selection. This has been a hobby with this writer for over four decades now and once the team is announced, you are either vindicated or amused. And when the player, who was not in your frame goes on to play a stellar role for the country, you inwardly congratulate the selectors for their foresight and knowledge.
