After spending two years at [[California Institute of Technology]] as a senior research fellow, he returned to India in 1996 to take up the position of a professor of theoretical physics at [[Tata Institute of Fundamental Research]] till 2010. In November 2019, Dabholkar was appointed as Director of the Abdus Salam International Centre for Theoretical Physics (ICTP). Prior to that, he was head of ICTP's High Energy, Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics section [[International Centre for Theoretical Physics]] (ICTP)<ref name="Members HECAP Scientists and Staff">{{Cite web |url=https://www.ictp.it/research/hecap/members.aspx |title=Members HECAP Scientists and Staff |date=2017-10-30 |website=International Centre for Theoretical Physics |access-date=2017-10-30}}</ref> and a ''Directeur de Recherche'' of the [[Centre National de la Recherche Scientifique]] (CNRS) at [[Sorbonne Universités|Association Sorbonne Université]] in the ''Laboratoire de Physique Théorique et Hautes Énergies'' (LPTHE) since 2007. Dabholkar was a visiting professor at [[Stanford University]] during 2003–04 and at [[CERN]] during 2012.<ref name="Biographical Information" />

== Contributions to Physics ==

In his work in collaboration with [[Jeffrey A. Harvey]], Dabholkar identified a spectrum of [[supersymmetric]] states (now known as "Dabholkar-Harvey states<nowiki>''</nowiki>) ''<ref name="BBS book">{{cite book|author=K. Becker, M Becker, J.

One of his important results concerns the computation of the quantum corrections to the [[Bekenstein–Hawking entropy equation|Bekenstein–Hawking entropy]] of a class of black holes in string theory.<ref name="Lectures on Quantum Black Holes">{{Cite book |series=Lecture Notes in Physics |volume=851 |pages=165–232 |arxiv=1208.4814|bibcode=2012LNP...851..165D |doi=10.1007/978-3-642-25947-0_5 |s2cid=53391911 |chapter=Quantum Black Holes |title=Strings and Fundamental Physics |date=2012 |last1=Dabholkar |first1=Atish |last2=Nampuri |first2=Suresh |isbn=978-3-642-25946-3 }}</ref>
The Bhatnagar prize cites Dabholkar's "outstanding contributions for establishing how quantum theory modifies the [[entropy]] of black holes and his pioneering studies of supersymmetric solitons in string theory".<ref name="Brief Profile of the Awardee"/>

Dabholkar collaborated with Sameer Murthy and [[Don Zagier]] to discover a connection between the quantum entropy of black holes and the mathematics of mock modular forms

== Personal life ==
Atish Dabholkar is the son of [[Shripad Dabholkar]] and Vrinda Dabholkar and the nephew of [[Narendra Dabholkar]]. He is married to Anita Kovačič, has two children, and lives in Slovenia.

== Activism ==

Dabholkar was one of the signatories to the letter by over 700 scientists against the Citizenship Amendment Bill.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://thewire.in/rights/indian-scholars-around-the-world-issue-statement-on-citizenship-amendment-bill| title=Scientists protest Citizenship Amendment| access-date=8 November 2022| archive-date=8 November 2022| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221108061330/https://thewire.in/rights/indian-scholars-around-the-world-issue-statement-on-citizenship-amendment-bill| url-status=live}}</ref> The letter protested against the use of religion as a legal criterion for determining Indian citizenship as being fundamentally inconsistent with the basic structure of the constitution of India.

Dabholkar participated in the movement of the [[Maharashtra Andhashraddha Nirmoolan Samiti]] to get the ''Anti Superstition Act'' passed in the Maharashtra Legislature. He co-organized the signature campaign that collected the signatures of 3000 scientists and 100000 citizens in support.
