Prof. Shriganesh Prabhu

Shriganesh S. Prabhu, received the B.Sc. degree in physics from Mumbai University, Mumbai, Maharashtra, India, the M.Sc. degree in physics from Pune University, Pune, Maharashtra, India, and the Ph.D. degree in physics from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research (TIFR), Mumbai, Maharashtra, India. He completed Postdoctoral work at Emory University, Atlanta, USA. In 1998, he joined TIFR as a Fellow. He is currently Professor of Physics in the Department of Condensed Matter Physics and Material Science, TIFR. He initially worked on ultrafast phenomena in semiconductors and heterostructures using ultrashort lasers (picosecond), and later he worked on THz spectroscopy using subpicosecond lasers. His research focuses on ultrafast carrier dynamics in materials using THz spectroscopy, developing THz technology, THz optical components such as lenses, wave plates, filters, metasurfaces or metamaterials, THz-waveguide- based chemical and biochemical sensors and THz source-detector devices using plasmonic antenna designs. He has published many papers in international journals, conferences, and several articles (popular and technical) in many magazines and few chapters in books.
