报告人简介:Prof. Raychaudhuri obtained his M.Sc from IIT,Kanpur and Ph.D from Cornell University. He had post-doctoral experience at the Max Planck Institute (FKF),Stuttgart as an Alexander von Humboldt Fellow. Prior to joining SNBose National Centre, he worked as a Professor in Indian Institute Science (IISc), Bangalore and as Director, National Physical Laboratory (NPL),New Delhi.

His research interest covers a broad canvas of problems in condensed matter physics and materials physics. This includes physics of glassy states, metal-insulator transition in oxides, physics of High Tc superconductors and manganites that show colossal magnetoresistance. His research activities encompass synthesis of materials of different kinds, fabrication of nano devices and physical measurements done down to low temperatures in high magnetic fields using a variety of techniques.

Over the years research group of Professor AKR at Indian Institute of Science and SNBose National Centre for Basic Sciences, contributed to a broad spectrum of research problems in the area of experimental condensed matter physics. His group had graduated more than 30 Ph.D students who are now established researchers/academics/professionals in India and abroad. His research work is widely cited. He has more than 15 papers that have citations more than 100. For his work he had developed a number of techniques some of which were unique in the country.

Professor AKR serves in a number of national committees that include National Science Advisory group (NSAG) of Nanomission and Programme Advisory Committee (PAC) on Solar energy research initiative. He had been a member of the Science and Engineering Research Council (SERC) of the Department of Science and Technology and chaired the PAC on condensed matter physics and materials science. He also chaired the FIST advisory committee of DST on physical sciences. He has served as the member of Board of Governors (BOG) of IISER , Pune and currently is a member of the BOG of IIT, Kanpur. He is also a member of the executive council of North-East Hill University (NEHU),Shillong.
