==Education and Career==<br />
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<br />
Research Center of [[IBM]], Yorktown Heights, New York, USA (May 2009 – Sept 2009).<br />
<br />
== Awards ==<br />
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" /><br />
<br />
==Research==<br />
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><br />
