Brief CV of Professor S. K. Joshi

Dr SK Joshi was born on 06 June 1935. He studied at the Allahabad University and did his Ph.D. in Physics from there in 1962. His broad field of research interest is Condensed Matter Theory. He had earlier worked on Collision Processes in Atomic and Molecular Systems also. Dr. Joshi was Professor of Physics at the University of Roorkee (Now IIT, Roorkee) from 1967 till 1986. He was the Director of National Physical Laboratory from 1986-1991. He held the position of the Director General CSIR from 1991 till 1995.

He was elected Fellow of the Indian National Science Academy in 1974 (He was Secretary of the Academy during 1983-86 and Foreign Secretary during 1989-92). He was the President of the INSA from 1993 till 1995. He is a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences since 1974 and was Vice President from 1989-91. He is a Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences and was its President for 2001-2002. Dr. Joshi was the President of Indian Physics Association during 1989-90, President of the Materials Research Society of India during 1995-97, and the President of the Indian Science Congress Association for the year 1996-97. Dr Joshi is a Fellow of the Third World Academy of Sciences, and a Foreign Member of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

He won Watumull Memorial Prize for 1965, Shanti Swarup Prize for Physical Sciences for 1972, CSIR Silver Jubilee Award 1973 and Meghnad Saha Award for Research in Theoretical Sciences in 1974. He received FICCI Award in Physical Sciences for 1990 and Goyal Prize in Physics from Goyal Foundation in 1993. He received CV Raman Medal of INSA in 1999. He was awarded Padma Shri in 1991 and Padma Bhushan in 2003. He received D.Sc (honoris causa) from Kumaon University in 1994, Kanpur University in 1995, Banaras Hindu University in 1996 and University of Burdwan in 2005.

Dr Joshi’s major research contributions span over a wide variety of topics in solid state theory. His early researches were concerned mainly with theoretical study of phonons in metals and insulators. Dr Joshi studied electronic states in disordered systems and electron correlations in narrow band solids. He also worked on surface states and surface segregation. The current research interest of Dr Joshi lies in strongly correlated electron systems like high temperature superconductors. He is also working in nanoscience, especially electron transport in quantum dots and nanotubes. Dr Joshi has supervised the Ph.D. thesis of 20 scholars and has published more than 190 research papers.
