Yashwant Singh (born 28 July 1944) is an Indian theoretical physicist known for his contributions to soft matter physics. He is at present Distinguished Professor and INSA Senior Scientist at
Banaras Hindu University.
Singh has made contributions to the theory of
liquids,
liquid crystals,[4]polymer statistics,[5] and to the theory of liquid-solid and solid-solid transitions.[6]
