Associate Professor - II
Light and Matter Physics
Dr Sanjukta Roy is an Associate Professor - II at Raman Research Institute. Her research is focused on Quantum Technologies with ultra-cold Rydberg atoms, Quantum Simulation with ultra-cold Quantum Mixtures, Spin correlation spectroscopy and Few-body physics. She obtained her PhD from Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, Mumbai during which she realised the first Bose-Einstein Condensate (BEC) in India. She did her Post-doctoral work at Laboratoire Kastler Brossel, Ecole Normale Superieure, Paris where she worked on metastable He BEC experiment in the lab of Physics Nobel Laureate (1997) Claude Cohen-Tannoudji. She did her subsequent Post-Doctoral research at European Laboratory for Non-Linear Spectroscopy, Florence, Italy where she worked on experiments on Efimov physics with ultra-cold atoms and 3D Anderson localisation of matter waves in disordered potentials. She has won several awards and honours: DST award for attending Lindau Nobel laureates meeting, Letter of appreciation from the Prime Minister of India for indigenously realising the first Bose-Einstein Condensate in India and Outstanding Reviewer awards from IOP Publishing, UK.
