About
Born in Kolkata, India in 12th April, 1953, Professor Kamakhya Prasad Ghatak (h-index-37, i-10 index-197, maximum citation of a research paper = 330 & total citations-6381) obtained his PhD Degree (on the basis of 27 published research papers in eminent SCI journals which is still a record in the Institute of Radio Physics and Electronics) of the University of Calcutta, India, in 1988.
*He is the first recipient of the Degree of Doctor of Engineering of Jadavpur University, Kolkata in 1991 since the University inception in 1955 and in the same year he received the INSA visiting fellowship to IIT-Kharagpur.
*In accordance with the analysis of World Ranking of top 2% Scientists as prepared by Stanford University in 2020, USA, (shorturl.at/qHIJ4), Professor K. P. Ghatak of IEM UEM group stays within top 1% in the field of Applied Physics.
* Prof. Ghatak is the principal co-author of more than 400 research papers in SCI Journals and 375 research publications in SCOPUS respectively.
* He was Assistant Professor in the Department of Radio physics and Electronics of the University of Calcutta from 1983-1987, Associate Professor in the Department of ETCE of Jadavpur University from 1987-1994, Professor and HOD of Electronic Science of the University of Calcutta from 1994-2011, HOD and Dean of the National Institute of Technology, Agartala from 2012 -2014 and from January 2015 he has joined in the IEM / UEM group, Kolkata as Senior Professor. He was at the top of the Merit lists in all the above cases.
* Prof. Ghatak is the Principal co-author of 8 research monographs on various topics of Nano Technology from Springer-Verlag Germany (Vol.170 in Solid State Science, Vols. 116, 137 and 167 in Materials Science, Vols. 255 and 260 in Tracts in Modern Physics (TMP), 1 in Nano structured Science and Technology series) and 1 book on Electron Statistics from Springer Nature,vols. 1 & 2 in Nanomaterials series of De Gruyter, Germany. He is the solo Author of Vols. 262 and 265 in TMP of the Springer-Verlag, Germany and seven research monographs (vols. 7, 8, 14, 16, 17, 18 and 20) in the Series on the Foundations of Natural Science and Technology of World Scientific. The selling cross sections of the said 17 Research monographs are very high. It appears from the list of research monograph publications of the said series of World Scientific that Professor K. P. Ghatak is the first academician in Asia who is the author of four research monographs in the above mentioned series. Owing to the aforementioned contributions of Prof. Ghatak, the IEM/UEM Group, India, his current employer enjoys a unique position among the private academic organizations in Asia. He is the Principal Editor of the three edited monographs in the Nanotechnology series of NOVA, USA. This first time achievement of Prof. Ghatak is still a record in West Bengal.
* The score in Vidwan portal unit, of Central Government of India, of Prof. K. P. Ghatak is 8.7 out of 10, the highest score among the nano-technologists of private engineering colleges and Universities in West Bengal.
* Prof. Ghatak has successfully supervised 170 PhD students in different topics of Nanotechnology and the list includes Director, Vice-Chancellor, Principal, Professor and CEO of different reputed Institutes, Universities, Colleges and private organizations respectively.
* The AICTE has selected the first R & D project in his life for the best project award in Electronics and second best research project award considering all the branches of Engineering for the year 2006. In 2011, the UGC awarded a research project to him and placed him at the top in the list of awardees. He is the first recipient of the academic excellence award of the University of Engineering & Management, Kolkata from the then Governor of West Bengal in its first convocation in 2017. He is the referee, Editor and Guest Editor of different reputed International Journals. He is the main referee of International and Intercontinental experimental research projects of very high value between Austria and France.
*His present research interests are Nano Materials and Genetic Electronics respectively. Incidentally, from 2015-2017, in accordance with Google Scholar, the number of research publications of Prof. Ghatak in consecutive three years have exceeded one hundred. His brief CV has been enlisted in many biographical references of USA and UK.
