Namaskar! This is Bikas. My brief CV is as follows: Born in Dec. 1952, in Calcutta, to Bimal K. Chakrabarti and Pratima Chakrabarti. Got my Ph. D. Degree from Calcutta University in 1979. After that, I was post-doctoral fellow at Department of Theoretical Physics, University of Oxford and then at Institute for Theoretical Physics, University of Cologne. I joined Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics as faculty in September 1983, where I am Emeritus Professor since January 2018. Married to Mrs. Kaberi Chakrabarti. Have two sons: Kalyan Sundar Chakrabarti and Anindya Sundar Chakrabarti.
At present, INSA Senior Scientist and Emeritus Professor (Former Professor & Director; J. C. Bose National Fellow) at Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, Honorary Emeritus Professor at S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata and Honorary Visiting Professor of Economics, Indian Statistical Institute, Kolkata.
I have professional interest in statistical physics, condensed matter physics, computational physics, and their application to social sciences. See my papers, reviews or books.
