Rohini Godbole[6] is an Indian physicist and academic specializing in elementary particle physics: field theory and phenomenology.[7] She is currently a professor at the Centre for High Energy Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore.[8] She has worked extensively on different aspects of particle phenomenology over the past three decades, in particular on exploring different aspects of the Standard Model of Particle Physics (SM) and the physics beyond it (BSM). Her work regarding hadronic structure of high-energy photons outlined a variety of ways in which to study it and has had implications for the design of next generation electron positron colliders. She is an elected fellow of all the three academies of Science of India and also the Science Academy of the Developing World (TWAS).[9]

Apart from her work in academics, Godbole is also a much sought-after communicator of science, often delivering talks to young students, scholars and scientists on everything physics. She is also an avid supporter of women pursuing careers in science and technology, and along with Ram Ramaswamy, edited the book Lilavati’s Daughters,[10][11][12] a collection of biographical essays on women scientists from India.
