Dr. Sib Krishna Ghoshal is currently Associate Professor of Physics at the Faculty of Science, University Technology Malaysia since 2010. From 2004-2010 worked in the Physics Department and Materials Science Program of Addis Ababa University, Ethiopia, Africa as Associate Professor in the United Nations Development Program for the expansion of Graduate Studies. He served as senior lecturer and promoted as reader at Guru Jambheshwar University of Science and Technology, India during 1998-2006. He received PhD degree in Condensed Matter & Statistical Physics in 1996 from School Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University (Delhi, India). Carried out two post-doctoral researches one in Martin Fisher School of Physics (Brandeis University, USA) during 1999-2000 and the other in a joint research project of Indian Institute of Technology (Delhi) & Oxford University (UK) in 1996-1998. Supervised few Master Theses with Nicola Marzari (MIT, USA) and worked with Sir Roger Elliotte (Oxford, UK). He received Master Degree in Physics in 1989 from Premier Presidency University, Calcutta and BSc (Physics Honors) degree in 1986 from Calcutta University. Besides having a long innings-spanning almost three decades in teaching Physics/Materials Sciences at various levels and advising an appreciable number of doctoral and masters theses, he possesses a remarkable research profile too. He published over 600 research articles (334 in Journals with total impact factor of 660), 15 book chapters, and 7 books. His Google scholar h-index is 38, i10-index is 111 and citations are 4691. So far, he received 55 research grants, supervised 25 PhD, 80 MSc, and 65 undergraduate theses. He is listed as top 2% scientists in physics worldwide in 2020. His recent research interests are in Advanced Optical Materials, Statistical Condensed Matter Physics, Nanomaterials Syntheses and Applications, Laser Physics, Simulation and Modeling as well as Nanoscience. One of his major concerns other than research pursuits is the social impact of science and technology on environment, marginalized societal groups deprived of higher education, and the imbalances thereupon in the distribution of its fruits and adverse impacts on these stakeholders.
