'''Kankan Bhattacharyya''' is a modern non-linear [[Spectroscopy|laser spectroscopy]] scientist. His main interest is in [[femtosecond]] dynamics in nano-confined systems that include biological assemblies. His primary discovery is the ultraslow nature of biological water.<br />
<br />
He was the director and chair professor of [[Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science]] (IACS), [[Kolkata]], the oldest centre for [[scientific research]] in Asia.{{citation needed|date=March 2014}} He is a fellow of all of the national science academies of India and a senior editor of ''The Journal of Physical Chemistry''. He has received awards from many countries; most notably, the [[Shanti Swarup Bhatnagar Award]] in Chemical Science from the ([[Council of Scientific and Industrial Research, India|CSIR]], India) in 1997 and the [[TWAS Prize]] in 2007.<ref name="Prizes and Awards">{{Cite web |url=http://twas.org/opportunities/prizes-and-awards |title=Prizes and Awards |date=2016 |publisher=The World Academy of Sciences}}</ref><br />
<br />
He graduated from Presidency College under Calcutta University, and achieved his master's at [[Rajabazar Science College]], [[Calcutta University]]. He did his doctoral research under the supervision of Professor Mihir Chowdhury, an eminent scientist in the field of molecular spectroscopy and [[photochemistry]] at IACS (1984).<br />
<br />
Currently he is a [[Visiting Professor]] at Department of Chemistry, [[Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Bhopal]]<br />
