Research Interests
Dr. Kaustav Bhowmick specializes in the field of Photonic devices, materials and Optical technology. Post-PhD (University of Nottingham, UK, 2013), he has worked as Assistant Professor, in National Institute of Technology, Sikkim (2013-2015) and Amrita School of Engineering, Amrita Vishwavidyapeetham Deemed University, Bengaluru (2016-2019). During the said period, Dr. Bhowmick has been instrumental in setting up Photonics Research Laboratory, MoUs with national and international universities, supervising UG, PG and PhD students and research in national and international journals and conferences. His project students have been recruited in well-known international and national universities and in companies like Bosch. Dr. Bhowmick has done research with some well-known names in Photonics, both in India and abroad. Currently, in PES University, his target is to drive research in photonics and related quantum technologies, preferably in an interdisciplinary manner.
