'''Amitava Datta''' is an Indian scientist working in the area of high energy [[physics]], especially in context of new physics through direct (particle production) and indirect (loop effects).<br />
<br />
==Career==<br />
He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in 1969 from the [[Scottish Church College]] under the [[University of Calcutta]], and MSc and PhD degrees in physics from [[Visva Bharati]] in 1971 and 1977, respectively. He joined [[Jadavpur University]] as a lecturer in 1981 and was subsequently promoted to professor in 1998. In 2008, he moved to the [[Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Kolkata]] as a professor. He held Visiting Positions at [[Fermilab]], [[CERN]] and different research institutes of India.<ref name=":0">{{cite web|url=http://www.insaindia.org.in/detail.php?id=P04-1355|title=Professor Amitava Datta|publisher=[[Indian National Science Academy]]|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160812234014/http://www.insaindia.org.in/detail.php?id=P04-1355|archive-date=12 August 2016|url-status=dead|access-date=13 May 2016}}</ref><br />
<br />
==Research==<br />
He first perform complete calculation of the amplitude of Do-D-o mixing and the analyses of the consequence of Bo-B-o mixing immediately after its discovery. He also derived new bounds on masses and couplings of [[gauge boson]]s, exotic [[fermion]]s and supersymmetric particles using the data from the [[Large Electron–Positron Collider|Large Electron Positron (LEP) collider]] at CERN and the [[Tevatron]] collider at Fermilab.<br />
<br />
== Honors and awards ==<br />
Datta is a Fellow of the [[Indian National Science Academy]], which cited him for "significant contributions to high-energy physics (HEP)." The citation outlined his research interests, and added "Datta has played a major role in the development of HEP in the country and organized several conferences. He has co-edited several books and proceedings such as ''Particle Phenomenology in the 90's, Highlights of Particle Phenomenology'' and ''CP Violation.''"<ref name=":0" /><br />
<br />
Datta held [[Alexander von Humboldt Foundation|Alexander von Humboldt]] Fellowships at the Institute for Physics, [[Technical University of Dortmund|University of Dortmund]], Germany, 1986–88; at Dortmund in 1994, at the Physikalisches Inst., Univ. of Bonn in 2002, at Dortmund in 2004, and Bonn in 2007. He also held Associateships of the [[International Centre for Theoretical Physics]], Trieste, Italy, from 1991 to 1995, and of the [[Institute of Theoretical Physics, Qau|Institute of Theoretical Physics]] Beijing, 1997–99.<ref name=":0" /><br />
