Born and raised in Germany, I joined the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education (SAICE), Pondicherry, India, as an undergraduate student in 1972. From 1974 to 1978 I studied physics at the University of Göttingen, Germany, and at the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore, India. Since 1978 I pursue independent research in foundations of physics and at the interface of physics and Indian philosophy/psychology. In 1996 I began publishing original research in various peer-reviewed journals. Since 2000 I teach a philosophically oriented course of contemporary physics to higher secondary and undergraduate students at the SAICE. My textbook The World According to Quantum Mechanics: Why the Laws of Physics Make Perfect Sense After All was published in April 2011 by World Scientific.
