R. Sengupta.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. D. R. Sengupta was a scientist and the first Indian to head a scientific expedition to Antarctica. He was born in 1926 in Kolkata, India. He studied at the University of Calcutta, where he received a bachelor&#8217;s degree in physics in 1948. He then went on to study at the University of Cambridge, where he received a master&#8217;s degree in physics in 1950 and a Ph.D. in physics in 1953.<\/p>\n<p>After completing his education, Dr. Sengupta returned to India and joined the Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore. He worked there for many years, conducting research in the fields of physics and astronomy. In 1982, he was appointed as the head of the first Indian scientific expedition to Antarctica. The expedition was a success, and Dr. Sengupta was hailed as a national hero.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sengupta continued to work at the Indian Institute of Science until his retirement in 1992. He then moved to the United States, where he continued his research at the University of California, Berkeley. He died in 2009 at the age of 83.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Sengupta was a brilliant scientist and a national hero. He made significant contributions to the fields of physics and astronomy, and he was the first Indian to head a scientific expedition to Antarctica. He is an inspiration to all Indians, and his legacy will live on for many years to come.<\/p>\n<p>The other options are incorrect because they are not the names of the scientists who headed the first
