Pranawachandra Deshmukh (born 12 September 1950) is an Indian physicist and educator, known for his contributions to theoretical atomic physics, collisions and light-matter interactions, ultrfast atomic processes, applications of Lambert W Function in pure and applied physics[1]. He has made many contributions to physics education, including publishing foundation textbooks in classical and quantum physics. He taught classical mechanics, quantum mechanics, and collision theory, and his lectures are freely available through NPTEL.
Biography
Pranawachandra Deshmukh was born in Amravati on 12 September 1950.[citation needed]
Deshmukh graduated from Nagpur University in 1970 with a Bachelor of Science in physics. He then finished his Master of Science from Nagpur University in 1973.[citation needed]
Deshmukh earned his Ph.D. from Nagpur University in 1979, under the joint supervision of Dr. Chintamani Mande and Dr. P. L. Khare.[2]
Deshmukh's teaching has focused on classical and quantum physics which has helped the subject become essential for students of many science and engineering majors. He has mentored many young scientists, seventeen doctoral candiates and multiple undergraduate students. His video lectures are popular on YouTube and NPTEL [3] [4] [5].
University Positions
Following his PhD studies, from 1978 to 1979, Deshmukh was a DANIDA fellow at University of Aarhus, Aarhus in the Physics department and worked with Professor Jan Linderberg.[2]
From 1979-1980 he was a research associate at University of Notre Dame under Professor R. Hayes and Professor W. R. Johnson. From 1980 until 1983, Deshmukh was a research associate at Georgia State University and worked with Professor S. T. Manson.[2][1]
Deshmukh returned to India in 1984 and joined Department of Physics at Indian Institute of Technology Madras as a professor of Physics and continued until 2016.[6] During his tenure at Indian Institute of Technology Madras he was appointed on deputation as Professor of Physics, and Dean of Academics at Indian Institute of Technology Mandi for 2009-2010.[1]
In 2016, Deshmukh joined Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati as Professor of Physics, and Dean of Sponsored Research and Consultancy.[7][2] Since 2020, he has served as an adjunct professor of Physics at multiple universities and as a mentor and cvonvener for Center of Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences and Technologies (a joint initiative between Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati and Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Tirupati).[8]
