Career
Das Sarma is a Distinguished University Professor, a Fellow of the Joint Quantum Institute (JQI), and the director of the Condensed Matter Theory Center at the University of Maryland, College Park, where he has been on the physics faculty since 1980. Das Sarma has co-authored more than 400 articles in the Physical Review Journal series of the American Physical Society including more than 100 publications in Physical Review Letters, and is a highly cited scientist, being one of the Institute for Scientific Information Highly-Cited Researchers. In collaboration with Chetan Nayak and Michael Freedman of Microsoft Research, Das Sarma introduced the concept of a topological qubit [1] in 2005, which has led to worldwide efforts in building a fault-tolerant quantum computer based on two-dimensional semiconductor structures. Das Sarma was the topper in the school leaving board examination conducted in 1969 by the Board of Secondary Education, West Bengal, India and received his undergraduate degree summa cum laude in Physics from the Presidency College, Kolkata. He received his PhD in physics from Brown University in 1979. Das Sarma has mentored a large number of PhD students and postdoctoral research associates at Maryland, having supervised 25 PhD students and 50 postdoctoral fellows in the 1982-2009 period, with about 40 of these advisees themselves working as theoretical physicists all over the world. Das Sarma's research collaborators, as reflected in the coauthors of his scholarly publications, exceed 100 and span over five continents. He is the editor of the book Perspectives in Quantum Hall Effects (ISBN 0-471-11216-X) and a co-author of several well-known review articles on spintronics and quantum computation[1][2][3]
