Biography
Prabal K. Maiti is Professor and currently the chair in the Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. He works in the area of Multiscale Modelling of Soft and Bio-materials. His major research goal is to pursue theoretical and numerical modelling connecting molecular and macroscopic length scales to improve basic understanding of various soft-matter and biological systems, both from a fundamental and an applied point of view. Areas of current research interest include structure and dynamics of hyperbranched and conjugated polymer, charge transport in molecular systems, DNA-based nanotechnology, and confined fluid. Prof Maiti received his M.Sc and Ph.D. degrees in Physics from IIT, Kanpur, India followed by postdoctoral stays at MPIP, Mainz, the University of Colorado at Boulder, and Caltech, USA. He is a fellow of Indian academy of Science and recipient of Alexander von Humboldt fellowship and Fulbright fellowship.
