Welcome to Prof. Kameshwar Wali's home page!

Prof. Kameshwar Wali is currently the distinguished research professor emeritus at the Department of Physics at Syracuse University. Prof. Wali's recent interests are in the non-commutative geometric approach to a modified theory of gravity, standard model of particle physics in curved space-time and the theory of monopoles and dyons in curved space time. Prof. Wali also works on clash of symmetries in a braneworld picture.

Prof. Wali has a long-time interest in the symmetry properties of fundamental particles and their interactions. He has made important contributions in this field.
