Suraj Kumar Sinha was born in Hazaribagh, Jharkhand, India. He received the B.Sc. degree in physics from Vinoba Bhava University, Hazaribagh, in 1996, the M.Sc. degree in physics from Pondicherry University, Puducherry, India, in 2001, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from the Institute for Plasma Research, Gandhinagar, Gujarat, India, in 2006. From 2006 to 2009, he worked as an Assistant Manager (R&D) with SAMTEL Color Ltd., Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India. At SAMTEL, he was involved in industrial research and development of plasma displays, under the New Millennium Technology Leadership Initiative (NIMTLI) of the Council of Scientific and Industrial Research (CSIR), Government of India (GOI). From 2009 to 2010, he was a Senior Lecturer at BIT, Mesra, Ranchi, India. He joined Pondicherry University in August 2010 and worked as a Research Fellow with the Department of Physics & Department of Aerospace Engineering Mechanics, The University of Texas at Austin, Austin, TX, USA, from 2013 to 2014. Since 2022, he has been working as a Professor, Department of Physics, Pondicherry University. He has authored about 40 articles published in reputed journals. His research interests include cold plasma, plasma material interaction, plasma application in food and agriculture, and nonlinear dynamics (plasma experiments). He was awarded the BUTI YOUNG Scientist Award (2005), Best Teacher (2011), and Raman Fellowship (2013-14). Notable works are "Power Balance at Cathode", "Plasma-Metal Junction", "Soil rejuvenation using cold plasma", and "Partition Function for Cold Plasmas". Additional research interests are classical-quantum hybrid computing and compact fusion machines. Five scholars were awarded, and four scholars are working towards a Ph.D. Degree under his supervision.
