Bikas Kanta Chakrabarti (born in Calcutta on December 14, 1952) is an Indian physicist.[1] He is presently emeritus professor of physics at the Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics, Kolkata, India.

Biography

Chakrabarti received his Ph.D. degree from Calcutta University in 1979. Following post-doctoral work at the University of Oxford and the University of Cologne, he joined the faculty of Saha Institute of Nuclear Physics (SINP) in 1983. Since January 2018, he is J. C. Bose National Fellow and Emeritus Professor at SINP, Honorary Emeritus Professor at S.N. Bose National Centre for Basic Sciences, Kolkata. He is a former director of SINP. He is also an Honorary Visiting Professor of economics at the Indian Statistical Institute. Much of Chakrabarti's research has centred around statistical physics, condensed matter physics, computational physics, and their application to social sciences. He has authored several books and papers in the fields of physics and economics. Chakrabarti is also a member of the editorial board of some physics and economics journals.
