'''Arun Mallojirao Jayannavar''' (born 22 July 1956) is an Indian [[Condensed matter physics|condensed matter physicist]] and a Senior Professor at the [[Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar]]. Known for his research on many interdisciplinary areas of condensed matter physics, Jayannavar is an elected fellow of all the three major Indian science academies viz. [[Indian Academy of Sciences]], [[National Academy of Sciences, India]] and [[Indian National Science Academy]]. The [[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research]], the apex agency of the Government of India for scientific research, awarded Jayannavar the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology]], one of the highest Indian science awards, for his contributions to physical sciences in 1998.<ref name="View Bhatnagar Awardees">{{cite web | url=http://ssbprize.gov.in/Content/AwardeeList.aspx | title=View Bhatnagar Awardees | publisher=Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize | date=2016 | access-date=12 November 2016}}</ref>{{Refn|group=note|Long link - please select award year to see details}}

Born on 22 July 1956, Arun M. Jayannavar obtained a BSc from Govindram Seksaria Science College, [[Belgaum]], [[Karnataka]] in 1976 and did his master's degree at [[Karnatak University|Karnataka University]] to earn an MSc in 1978.<ref name="Indian fellow">{{Cite web |url=http://insaindia.res.in/detail/P02-1316 |title=Indian fellow |date=2017-10-16 |publisher=Indian National Science Academy |access-date=2017-10-16 |archive-date=17 October 2017 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20171017201924/http://insaindia.res.in/detail/P02-1316 |url-status=dead }}</ref> His doctoral studies were at the [[Indian Institute of Science]] where he was mentored by [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize for Science and Technology|S. S. Bhatnagar laureates]], [[Narendra Kumar (physicist)]] and [[E. S. Raja Gopal]] and after securing a PhD in 1982, he moved to Italy to do his post-doctoral work at the [[International Centre for Theoretical Physics]] (ICTP) as a visiting scientist. Jayannavar also had a second stint abroad at the [[University of Ulm]] during 1988–90 as an [[Alexander von Humboldt Fellow]]. On his return to India in 1991, he joined the [[Institute of Physics, Bhubaneswar]] as a member of faculty where he holds the position of a senior professor.<ref name="Member of Institute of Physics">{{Cite web |url=http://www.iopb.res.in/members/jayan |title=Member of Institute of Physics |date=2017-10-17 |website=Institute of Physics |access-date=2017-10-17}}</ref> He is also a visiting senior professor at the [[Homi Bhabha National Institute]] of the [[Department of Atomic Energy]], situated in [[Mumbai]].<ref name="HBNI profile">{{Cite web |url=http://www.hbni.ac.in/faculty/IOP/iop_phys_arun.htm |title=HBNI profile |date=2017-10-17 |website=Homi Bhabha National Institute |access-date=2017-10-17}}</ref>
