About
Prof. Debabrata Goswami is an ultrafast laser expert who pioneered the use of control ideas with femtosecond pulse shaping in spatiotemporal control, quantum computing, microscopy, etc. After receiving a two year MSc degree from IIT Kanpur, Dr. Goswami went to US with multiple scholarships to receive his PhD from Princeton University and completed his one year postdoctoral Fellowship at Harvard University in 1995. After several research jobs in US, he returned to India in 1998 as a Faculty in TIFR (Mumbai). He moved to IIT Kanpur in 2004, where he continues as the Professor of Chemistry and the Center for Laser Technology. He is the recipient of several academic and research accolades, including the Wellcome Trust International Senior Research Fellowship (UK), the Swarnajayanti Fellowship, the Thathachary Science Award (India) and the Galileo Galilee Award of the International Commission for Optics. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society (OSA), the SPIE, Institute of Physics (IOP) and the Royal Society of Chemistry (RSC). He is a member of several academic and professional societies and councils. He has published well over hundred and fifty research articles, several book chapters, edited conference proceedings and books. He is on the Editorial Board of several journals and is the Associate Editor of Science Advances (AAAS). His popularizes Science Education and is a popular K12 teacher on Indian television. He is a faculty of the Fab-academy, which champions the worldwide spread of hands-on Fab-lab education.
