About
Dr. Vishwa Pal is currently working as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology Ropar, Punjab, India. His research expertise includes the phase locking of large arrays of coupled lasers and their potential applications for both applied and basic research. He received his PhD degree in 2014 from School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi, India. He has done part of his PhD at CNRS Laboratoire Aimé Cotton, Orsay, France in the framework of Indo-French collaborations. During his Ph.D. program, he investigated semiconductor laser systems by probing noise correlations and dynamical control with delayed optical feedbacks. After Ph.D., he received PBC fellowship for outstanding postdoctoral researcher by the Council for Higher Education of Israel, and joined laser group of Prof. Nir Davidson and Prof. Asher A. Friesem at Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. His postdocotral research focused on exploting coupled lasers for investigating topological effects, simulating spins and solving computationally hard problems. He also worked on laser beam shaping with industries in Israel towards Advanced Laser Technologies for Industrial Applications. In 2018, he joined CREOL, The College of Optics and Photonics, University of Central Florida, Orlando, USA, as a research scientist and worked on synthesizing non-diffracting optical beams in free space by exploiting space-time correlations. In 2018, he also received the Marie Skłodowska-Curie-Curie Actions Individual Fellowship By European Commission under Horizon 2020 Programme.
