S.K. Srinivasan was born in Kanchipuram in Tamil Nadu, India on December 16, 1930. After completing his high school education in Cheyyar, he joined the Vivekananda College to study Mathematics and obtained his B.A.(Hons) degree from the University of Madras in 1953. Attracted by the opportunity to work with Professor Alladi Ramakrishnan, he then joined the University of Madras to work in Mathematical Physics and received his M.Sc. degree (by research) in 1955 and Ph.D. degree in 1958. After submitting his doctoral thesis, SKS went to the University of Sydney as postdoctoral fellow. SKS returned to the University of Madras, accepting a senior research fellowship of the National Institute of Sciences of India. SKS Joined the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras in 1959 at its very inception, and become a professor in 1967 and a senior professor in 1974. At the Indian Institute of Technology, Madras, Professor S.K. Srinivasan had served as the Head of the Department of Mathematics, Dean of Research Programmes and a Member of the Board of Governors. In addition he has served in a host of important committees.

His research interests were in the field of Stochastic Processes and their Applications, Quantum Mechanics and Fields, Quantum and Nonlinear Optics, Statistical Mechanics and Fluctuation Phenomena, Mathematical Biology and Operations Research. SKS had published more than 200 scientific papers in established journals and authored 10 scientific books. SKS has guided 20 students in their Ph.D. programme. One of them got his degree in Electrical Engineering, one in Civil Engineering, two in Physics and the rest in Mathematics. Professor Srinivasan has had visiting assignments at various Universities abroad: viz., University of Sydney, State University of New York at Buffalo, University of Waterloo, National University of Singapore, Technical University of Munich and University of Texas at Austin.

Professor Srinivasan is a life member of the Indian Mathematical Society, Operational Research Society of India (President, 1975-1979) and Bernoulli Society of Probability and Mathematical Statistics, an elected Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and a founder fellow of the Tamil Nadu Academy of the Sciences. He was on the editorial board of "OPSEARCH" (1973-1977) and is a founder editor of the "Journal of Mathematical and Physical Sciences" now is its 24th year of publication. He is on the editorial board of "Solid Mechanics Archives" and "Annals of the Institute of Statistical Mathematics" and is a member of the Research Board of Advisers of the American Biographical Institute. Professor Srinivasan is listed in several directories of men of achievement and distinction.

Professor Srinivasan is a original thinker. His papers are marked by their clarity and originality. He is one of the early workers in the field of stochastic processes in India. A characteristic of Professor Srinivasan work is the strong application bias, maintaining at the same time strong theoretical support and mathematical rigour. In addition he was helpful in advising and influencing many graduate students. He is selfless and extraordinarily generous in giving his time and concern to his students and colleagues.
