Little Indian Harish-Chandra made the following remark: "Theoretical physics is in such a mess, I have decided to switch to pure mathematics" whereupon Dyson remarked, "That's curious. I have decided to switch to theoretical physics for precisely the same reason!".

"I have often pondered over the roles of knowledge or experience, on the one hand, and imagination or intuition, on the other, in the process of discovery. I believe that there is a certain fundamental conflict between the two, and knowledge, by advocating caution, tends to inhibit the flight of imagination. Therefore, a certain naivete, unburdened by conventional wisdom, can sometimes be a positive asset."

"The prepared mind sooner or later finds something important and does it."

I started out in Electrical Engineering, switched to Physics, and am now interested mainly in mathematics and theoretical physics. In mathematics, my current interest is in Green Functions and in particular Lattice Green Functions. In physics I am mostly interested in condensed matter theory.
