Mukhi was an invited speaker at the international conferences Strings 2000 in Michigan, Strings 2002 in
Cambridge and Strings 2008 in Geneva. He was one
of the organisers of Strings 2001 in Mumbai - a conference that attracted much publicity because of the participation of David Gross, Stephen Hawking and Edward
Witten among other luminaries in the eld. He has also
lectured at advanced schools in theoretical physics, notably at Cargse and Les Houches in France, at the SERC
school series in India, and at the rst PITP School at the
Institute for Advanced Study in Princeton during his sabbatical year there.
Research
His major publications deal with fundamental properties of string theories, and include the conformal invariance of supersymmetric two-dimensional eld theories
which describe the world-sheet dynamics of strings,[1] the
study of supersymmetric solitons using index theorems,[2]
the discovery of a new duality between string theory
and M-theory,[3] the identication of string networks as
supersymmetric states[4] and the discovery of a novel
Higgs mechanism in the worldvolume theory of M-theory
membranes.[5]

Other activities
In 2002, he played a role[6] in exposing a series of instances of plagiarism by the Vice-Chancellor of Kumaon
University in India. The Vice-Chancellor was eventually
found guilty by a national committee[7] and subsequently
resigned.
