C. V. Vishveshwara

C.V. Vishveshwara (Chandrashekar V. Vishveshwara) was a prominent Indian astrophysicist known for his significant contributions to the field of general relativity and black hole physics. He is perhaps best known for his pioneering work on gravitational waves and black holes. One of his notable achievements was the theoretical prediction of "black hole evaporation," a concept that relates to Stephen Hawking's work on Hawking radiation.
