Debasish Das is Associate Professor of Physics at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP). He is interested in understanding the physics and astrophysical aspects of nuclear collisions from very low energy regime to TeV energies. He is presently trying to reach that goal using the newly developed methods in statistics and data analysis, particularly artificial intelligence, for the extraction of well grounded and powerful information from observations. This is based on his working experience, for decades, on the studies of hadron collisions produced by the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) with the Solenoidal Tracker At RHIC (STAR) experiment and the A Large Ion Collider Experiment (ALICE) at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), CERN, the European Organization for Nuclear Research.
Professor Das, born and raised in India, received his B.Sc (1st Rank) and M.Sc from Visva-Bharati University and his Doctorate from Jadavpur University. He worked during his doctoral period with the STAR experiment at RHIC, BNL, collaborating with scientists from Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, India & physics group members of Brookhaven National Laboratory and Yale University, USA. He worked as a post-doctoral fellow in USA, (with researchers of University of California, Davis and also with the scientists from BNL and Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory(LBNL) in the STAR experiment), and later continued his research on hadron collisions at TeV energies by associating with the ALICE experiment at CERN and taking up responsibilities for the 'run coordination' of the ALICE Muon Spectrometer, before joining the SINP faculty. He was selected for the INFN Fellowship Programme (but did not join since he accepted the position at SINP). As a Coordinator of the dedicated PAG (Physics Analysis Group) he involved himself in the analysis effort on Upsilon into di-muons topic in ALICE and currently studying various aspects of heavy quarks. He is also involved in nuclear and astrophysical searches both in national and international experiments and collaborations.
Invitations have enabled Prof. Das to travel various parts of India & across the globe in USA, Europe & China, presenting his research findings in premiere conferences like Quark Matter, Lepton-Photon, LPC workshops, winter workshops, meetings at Yale, Fermi-lab, BNL, MIT and UCLA, USA and at CERN.
Interested students and postdocs please e-mail to join Prof. Das.
