Atul Gurtu (born 16 January 1946) is a high energy physicistinIndia. He joined the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, in 1971, and retired in 2011 as a senior professor, after a career spanning four decades in particle physics research.[1]

Early life[edit]

Gurtu was born in Lahore in 1946.[2] In 1947, he moved to India. He studied at Auckland House, Shimla,[failed verification] and later at the Lawrence School Sanawar. He attended Panjab University, Chandigarh, and thereafter joined the TIFR in 1969.[3]

Career[edit]

Gurtu is a particle physics researcher. He participated in numerous experimental projects in collaboration with CERN, Geneva, from 1969 to 2011, as part of high energy physics group at TIFR. From 2003 to 2011, he led a 70-member Indian team which participated in CERN experiment of first proton run at the Large Hadron Collider, known as "mini Big Bang". From 2011-12 he was Distinguished Professor at the King Abdulaziz University, Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. Currently (from March 2018) he is Eminent Scholar at Kyung Hee University, South Korea.[1][3][4]
