Soft-Photonics Research Group Dr. G.V. Pavan Kumar Professor, Department of Physics, h-cross, Experimental Physics Building, Indian Institute of Science Education and Research, Pune Pune, Maharashtra - 411008, India e-mail: pavan[at]iiserpune.ac.in
My research Interests : Optics, Soft Matter Physics; History of Science Keywords : Optical trapping, optical forces, structured light, scattering, Brownian motion, optothermal tweezers. In my research group, we study the interaction of light with soft-matter from a photonics viewpoint. Until now, I have supervised 11 PhD theses, 11 MS theses, a few post-docs and several undergraduate students at IISER Pune (see my group members - past and present). I continue to learn a lot from them. See our publications sorted by : topics / chronology. Another strand of my research is the history of science. I am interested in the historical evolution of ideas, tools and objects in physical sciences and technology. I research the life and work of past scientists, innovators, and people driven by curiosity, and I write about them from an Indian and Asian perspective. My motivation is to humanize science. On my blog, you will find many of my writings, including podcasts and videos that I create as part of my research. Updated : 15th Feb 2024
