Dr. Mainak Basu is currently working as an Associate Professor in the School of Engineering and Sciences at GD Goenka University, Gurugram, Haryana, India.
Prior to joining the Institute Dr. Basu, has performed research for a period of approximately two years as a Principal Project Scientist at the DRDO-JATC, Indian Institute of Technology (IIT), Delhi, an ICMR Research Associate in the Dept. of Bio- Engineering, BIT, Mesra and as a DBT Research Associate in the Dept of Biomedical Engineering, NEHU, Shillong. He also has UG/PG teaching experience at the post of Assistant Professor in the Dept. of Physics, USTM, and School of Basic & Applied Sciences, GD Goenka University
Dr. Basu has received the DST-INSPIRE Fellowship for pursuing his Ph.D. during 2012- 2017, and also the Newton-Bhabha fellowship for pursuing an internship at the Dept. of Aeronautics, Imperial College, London in 2015. He is the recipient of the Gold Medal from Jadavpur University for standing first in the order of Merit in M.Sc. and is also a winner and Certificate of Merit awardee of the Dare to Dream 2.0 Contest from DRDO, Govt. of India. He is also presently the Director / Founder of the startup SciCept Advanced Technologies (OPC) Pvt. Ltd. which is currently executing a DRDO Technology Development Fund project.
His research areas encompass the fields of optical sensing and instrumentation, electromagnetic signal processing, Development of new Hybrid / Analog Computer Architecture including Neuromorphic and Optical and Artificial Intelligence techniques. He has also successfully guided one scholar towards his Ph.D. and also several UG and PG students in their major thesis / dissertations.
