Mriganka Sekhar Sinha was born on October 12, 1915 in Burdwan in India.
Mriganka Sekhar Sinha graduated from Calcutta University in 1934. He became Master of Science in 1936 and Doctor of Science in 1946. He did research in High Energy Physics and Cosmic Rays, was a Specialist in Nuclear Physics.
Mriganka Sekhar Sinha worked as a professor and the head of physics department at Regional Engineering College in Durgapur and later as the dean at faculty of engineering at University of Burdwan. He toured U.S.A., U.K., France and Denmark. He was specially interested in Atomic Research. He wrote about 30 research papers.
Mriganka Sekhar Sinha was deeply interested in high energy and cosmic-ray physics. He measured the mean-life of muons in elements of increasing Z-values; investigated the interaction of muons with matter with self-operating cloud-chambers constructed for the first time in India; determined the momentum-spectrum and charge-ratio of munos with a magnetic cosmic ray spectrograph; also carried out simultaneous estimation of their specific ionization in helium and argon in a cloud-chamber.
