Rupamanjari Ghosh is the present Vice-Chancellor of Shiv Nadar University, Uttar Pradesh, India. She is also the former Director of School of Natural Sciences and Dean of Research & Graduate Studies at Shiv Nadar University, and a Professor of physics and former Dean at the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, New Delhi. Her areas of interest include Experimental and Theoretical Quantum Optics, Laser Physics, Nonlinear Optics, Quantum Information, Quantum Measurement and Magneto-Optics.
Professor Rupamanjari Ghosh is a researcher, teacher, orator and an academic administrator par excellence. Professor Ghosh has B.Sc.(Physics honors) and M.Sc.(Physics) degrees from the University of Calcutta, and a very well-recognized Ph.D. in Physics from the University of Rochester, NY in Quantum Optics where she worked as a Rush Rhees Fellow, chosen for "outstanding scholarly ability and the promise of exceptional contributions to scholarship and teaching." Her research interests are in Experimental and Theoretical Quantum Optics, Laser Physics, Nonlinear Optics, and Quantum Information. Her pioneering work with Prof Leonard Mandel on two-photon interference (using the nonlinear optical process of spontaneous parametric down-conversion) has yielded a new direction in quantum optics and quantum information, in the creation and use of a source of entangled photon pairs, and of single photons, at the forefront of research. After her Ph.D., she returned to India and joined the School of Physical Sciences, Jawaharlal Nehru University, where she held many important academic and administrative positions over a span of 24 years. She has also held several Visiting Positions on invitation at Université Paris-Sud, Universite de Rennes I and École Normale Supérieure among others.
