Ulrich Mohrhoff (born 1950 in Koblenz, Germany) joined the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education (SAICE) in Pondicherry, India, in 1972, where he studied Physics, Sanskrit, and Indian Philosophy. From 1974 to 1978 he studied Physics at the University of Göttingen (UG), Germany, where he received his Vordiplom (B.Sc. equivalent) in 1976. During this period he spent one semester at the SAICE teaching relativistic physics to undergraduates and one semester at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, India, preparing a thesis supervised by Prof. K.P.

Ulrich Mohrhoff (born 1950 in Koblenz, Germany) joined the Sri Aurobindo International Centre of Education (SAICE) in Pondicherry, India, in 1972, where he studied Physics, Sanskrit, and Indian Philosophy. From 1974 to 1978 he studied Physics at the University of Göttingen (UG), Germany, where he received his Vordiplom (B.Sc. equivalent) in 1976. During this period he spent one semester at the SAICE teaching relativistic physics to undergraduates and one semester at the Indian Institute of Science (IISc) in Bangalore, India, preparing a thesis supervised by Prof. K.P. Sinha (IISc) and Prof. H.-J. Borchers (UG). Since his settling in Pondicherry in 1978, he pursues independent research in foundations of physics and at the interface of physics and Indian philosophy/psychology. In 1996 he began publishing original research in various peer-reviewed journals, among them Foundations of Physics, Journal of Consciousness Studies, International Journal of Quantum Information, and American Journal of Physics. In 2000 he began teaching a philosophically oriented course of contemporary physics to higher secondary and undergraduate students at the SAICE. He was the founding and managing editor of AntiMatters, a quarterly open-access e-journal addressing issues in science and the humanities from non-materialistic perspectives, which appeared from August 2007 till November 2009. His textbook The World According to Quantum Mechanics: Why the Laws of Physics Make Perfect Sense After All, was published in 2011 by World Scientific Publishing.
