Nominator's project description

Professor Nath has made decisive contributions in the field of theoretical particle physics, quantum gravity and cosmology. He initiated the study of unification of strong, weak and electromagnetic interactions in the framework of supergravity. In collaboration with research groups in Bonn and Heidelberg he is going to investigate the implications of supersymmetry and superstring theories for the nature of dark matter in the universe.
