Saikat Biswas is Assistant Professor in the Centre for Astroparticle Physics & Space Science (CAPSS), Department of Physics, Bose Institute, Kolkata, India. At Bose Institute, he is mainly involved in TPC upgrade for ALICE experiment at CERN and CBM-Muon Chamber. He did his Ph.D. from University of Calcutta in 2011. He initiated his career by joining Variable Energy Cyclotron Centre, Kolkata as a Junior Research Fellow (JRF) in September 2005 and completed his Ph.D work in India based Neutrino Observatory (INO) ICAL experiment. Dr. Biswas has got 29 journal publications, 29 conference papers, 1 book chapter, and 30 talks to his credit. He received the DST-SERB Ramanujan Fellowship award in 2012. He worked as Scientific Officer in National Institute of Science Education and Research (NISER), Bhubaneswar from 2013 to 2015. At Bose Institute, he is involved in the stability study of the GEM detector and development of other gaseous and scintillator detectors. His research interests are instrumentation for experimental high-energy physics, detection of cosmic ray and medical imaging.
