Greetings from UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research! The Consortium works for augmentation and enrichment of scientific research in Indian universities and educational institutions of higher learning.
The synergy between the UGC and the DAE in the form of UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research is providing high-end mega-science research facilities of the DAE to the Indian research community.
Our in-house research facilities are also available for collaboration through Collaborative Research Scheme (CRS projects) apart from creating highly-skilled manpower through our own PhD programme.
We invite you to visit our centres at Indore, Mumbai, and Kolkata and also our Kalpakkam Node.
Prof. Amlan J. Pal is currently the Director of UGC-DAE Consortium for Scientific Research, Indore. He is also a JC Bose National Fellow at the School of Physical Sciences, Indian Association for the Cultivation of Science, Kolkata, India. He received the M.Sc. and Ph.D. degrees in physics from University of Calcutta and Jadavpur University, respectively.
His research interests include device physics, ultrahigh vacuum scanning tunneling spectroscopy, and materials engineering leading to organic electronics, solar cells based on organic/inorganic semiconductors and hybrid halide perovskites, organic spintronics, topological insulators, and so forth.
So far, he has published more than 250 articles in international journals and guided 26 students for their Ph.D.’s. He is a Fellow of all three science academies of India and also of Indian National Academy of Engineering.
