Ashoke Sen is the first Indian physicist to get the Oskar Klein Medal, the previous recipients include Stephen Hawking, Peter Higgs and Kip Thorne. Sen, an ICTS-Infosys Madhava Chair professor at the International Centre for Theoretical Sciences (ICTS)-Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Bengaluru, is widely regarded as an architect of modern string theory. The theory postulates that the elementary constituents of matter are tiny one-dimensional, string-like objects instead of point particles.
