'''Arindam Ghosh''' is an [[India]]n experimental condensed matter physicist and a Professor in the Department of Physics, [[Indian Institute of Science]], [[Bangalore]], [[India]]. He was awarded the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Prize]] for science and technology, the highest science award in India, for the year 2012 in physical sciences category.<ref>{{cite web|title=SHANTI SWARUP BHATNAGAR AWARDS 2012 |url=http://www.dst.gov.in/awards/award12.htm |publisher=Department of Science & Technology, Government of India |access-date=17 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140405001144/http://dst.gov.in/awards/award12.htm |archive-date=5 April 2014 }}</ref> In 2020, he was awarded the [[Infosys Prize]] for Physical Science, the most prestigious award that recognizes achievements in science and research, in India.. <ref name=":0">{{Cite news|title=Infosys Prize 2020 winners felicitated in six categories|work=[[The Hindu]]|url=https://www.thehindu.com/news/national/karnataka/infosys-prize-2020-winners-felicitated-in-six-categories/article33232504.ece}}</ref> <ref name=":1">{{Cite web|title=Infosys Prize Laureate - Physical Sciences (2020) ~ Arindam Ghosh|url=http://www.infosys-science-foundation.com/prize/laureates/2020/arindam-ghosh.asp|website=[[Infosys Science Foundation]]}}</ref>

==Education and Career==
Ghosh majored in physics from [[Calcutta University]] (1991). Following the graduation, he moved to IISc, Bangalore where he did his masters (1994) and PhD (1999) in Physics. He was then a postdoctoral research associate at the [[University of Cambridge]], UK (2000–2005). Ghosh then came back to IISc to take up a position as an assistant professor (2005–2011) followed by an associate professor (2011–2017). In 2017, he was promoted to a full professor of physics at the Department of Physics, IISc Bangalore.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arindam Ghosh CV|url=http://www.physics.iisc.ernet.in/~arindam/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2016/02/CV_Arindam-Ghosh_Sept-2017.pdf |publisher=Indian Institute of Science |access-date=27 May 2019 }}</ref> During his tenure at IISc, he was also a Visiting Research Fellow in Nanotechnology at T J Watson
Research Center of [[IBM]], Yorktown Heights, New York, USA (May 2009 – Sept 2009).

== Awards ==
In December 2020, he received the [[Infosys Prize]] for Physical Sciences ''for his development of atomically thin two-dimensional semiconductors to build a new generation of functional electronic, thermoelectric and optoelectronic devices.'' <ref name=":0" /> <ref name=":1" />

==Research==
His current research interests include the transport properties of two-dimensional electronic systems in [[semiconductor]]s, carbon-based low-dimensional systems, optoelectronic properties of atomically-thin semiconductor membranes, magnetic [[nanostructure]]s, and structural stability of nanoscale systems such as metallic [[nanowire]]s and [[nanoparticle]]s.<ref>{{cite web|title=Arindam Ghosh |url=http://www.physics.iisc.ernet.in/~arindam/people/CV_Arindam%20Ghosh%20July%202013.pdf |publisher=Indian Institute of Science |access-date=17 January 2014 |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131001030640/http://www.physics.iisc.ernet.in/~arindam/people/CV_Arindam%20Ghosh%20July%202013.pdf |archive-date=1 October 2013 }}</ref>
