Dharam Vir Ahluwalia[1] (born October 20, 1952, in Fatehpur, Kaithal, India) was an Indian-born American theoretical physicist who made significant contributions to physics of neutrino oscillations, gravitationally induced phases, interface of the gravitational and quantum realms, and mass dimension one fermions.[2][3] In 2019 he published Mass Dimension One Fermions .[4]

Early life and education

Dharam Vir was born in India. He was a US citizen and a permanent resident of New Zealand.[5]

In 1991, he obtained a Ph.D. from Texas A&M University. During 1992 to 1998 he was at the Los Alamos National Laboratory as a director's postdoctoral fellow and later as a scientist/consultant. From 1998 to 2006 he was a professor of mathematics at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas in Mexico. For the period 2006-2013 he served as a senior lecturer in physics at the University of Canterbury in Christchurch, New Zealand, and afterwards he was a visiting professor at numerous other institutes and universities.[5]

Awards and editorships

He was recipient of a Gravity Research Foundation First Prize (1996, jointly with Christoph Burgard),[6] Fourth Prize (1997),[7] Third Prize (2004),[8] and Fifth Prize[9] (2000), with Gilma Adunas, E. Rodriguez-Milla.

He was on the editorial boards of Modern Physics Letters A,[10] the International Journal of Modern Physics A[11] and the International Journal of Modern Physics D.[12]
