Ashoke Sen: A life of big questions and little fuss

Indian theoretical physicist Ashoke Sen is the subject of a profile describing a career devoted to fundamental questions in physics carried out with marked modesty. Sen, a string theorist and pioneer of S-duality known for his work at the Harish-Chandra Research Institute in Allahabad, is portrayed as a scientist who achieved international recognition, including the Fundamental Physics Prize, while avoiding the public limelight.

Why now: A new profile of one of India's most respected physicists has drawn attention to his low-key approach to science and fame.
