About the Author'
Dr A. Jayaraman was closely associated with Prof.
C. V. Raman at the Raman Research Institute,
Bangalore, for about 11 years since its inception,
and was a collaborator of Raman in his research on
the Physics of Gems and Minerals and Diamond.
He left RRI on a post-doctoral fellowship to the
Institute of Geophysics in UCLA in 1960 to work
with Prof. George Kennedy, who initiated him into
High-Pressure Research. In 1963 Dr Jayaraman
joined the Bell Telephone Laboratories in the
Physics Research Division, and retired in 1990. He
spent a sabbatical year (1970) in Bangalore to set
up facilities for High-Pressure Research in India for
the first time, and then a 15-month term (1991-92)
in the Physics Department at the Indian Institute of
Science, to set up facilities to do High-Pressure
Raman Spectroscopy work, using the Diamond
Anvil Cell.
In June 1992, he joined the Hawaii Institute of
Geophysics and Planetology of the University of
Hawaii at Manoa, Honolulu, and held a Research
Professorship for 5 years. Upon return from Hawaii
he was associated with the Geophysical Lab of the
Carnegie Institution of Washington in Washington,
DC, for two years (1997 to 2000), before taking
complete retirement from active scientific
research. He now lives in Phoenix, Arizona, USA.
