'''Anuradha Misra''' is a professor and the current head of the department of [[physics]] at the [[University of Mumbai]].<ref>{{cite web |title=The Women Scientists of India|url=https://www.ias.ac.in/Initiatives/Women_in_Science/The_Women_Scientists_of_India |website=Indian Academy of Sciences |accessdate=13 September 2018 |language=en}}</ref> She was born in [[Faizabad]], [[Uttarpradesh]], [[India]]. A graduate of the [[University of Allahabad]], she joined as a professor for physics at the [[University of Mumbai]] in 2008. She specializes in the study of theoretical high energy physics, including [[Light front quantization]], [[Quantum chromodynamics|resummation in quantum chromodynamics]].

== Early life, education and career ==
Misra completed her primary education from Government Girls College in [[Faizabad]], [[Uttar Pradesh]]. She did her bachelor's degree in [[mathematics]], [[physics]], and [[statistics]], from the [[University of Allahabad]], masters in physics from [[IIT Kanpur]] in 1983. Being inspired by the works of physicist [[Marie Curie]] and mathematician [[Srinivasa Ramanujan]], she pursued a doctorate at IIT Kanpur. Her research was in the areas of [[chiral anomaly]], [[trace anomaly]] and [[Stress–energy tensor]] in 1989.<ref name="Anuradha Misra MU">{{cite web |title=Anuradha Misra |url=http://archive.mu.ac.in/science/physics/mishra.html |website=Mumbai University|accessdate=27 November 2018}}</ref>

She published papers on [[renormalization|renormalization theory]] under the guidance of S. D. Joglekar.<ref>{{cite web |title=S. D. Joglekar|url=http://home.iitk.ac.in/~sdj/sdj.html |website=IIT Kanpur |accessdate=23 February 2019}}</ref> Her first research paper was under the guidance of [[George Sterman]], an American theoretical physicist at the [[Stony Brook University]]. She took up her first job at [[Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics]] as a research associate. In 1993, she moved to the [[United States]] to work at [[Stony Brook University]] as a lecturer. She returned to India in 1994 and spent a brief time in Allahabad before joining as [[research associate]] at the [[University of Mumbai]] in October 1994. She continued her research on high energy physics, [[quantum chromodynamics]] and light front field theories. In November 2008, she was promoted to be a professor and appointed the head of the department of physics,<ref name="Research of Anuradha Misra - Indian Academy of Sciences">{{cite web |title=Research of Anuradha Misra |url=https://www.ias.ac.in/public/Resources/Initiatives/Women_in_Science/Contributors/anuradhamisra.pdf|website=Indian Academy of Sciences|accessdate=27 November 2018}}</ref><ref name="Anuradha Misra MU" /> a position which she held from 2013 to 2016, and again from 2019 to present (Mar 2020).

== Personal life ==
Misra was born in [[Faizabad]], [[Uttar Pradesh]], India in a family of ten children. Her father was a doctor. She has been married to Raghava Varma, her classmate from IIT Kanpur. He works at the [[Indian Institute of Technology Bombay]] as a professor of Physics. The couple has two sons.<ref name="Research of Anuradha Misra - Indian Academy of Sciences" />
