Prof. Kameshwar Wali is currently the distinguished research professor emeritus at the Department of Physics at Syracuse University. His main long-time research interest has been in the symmetry properties and dynamics of elementary particles. His current research activities involve, higher dimensional Kaluza-Kline type theories with torsion [Einstein-Cartan theory] and a new approach based on "Clash of Symmmetries" to symmetry breaking in a brane world picture of the universe.
