Career

Goswami obtained his bachelors degree from Jadavpur University in 1986, completing his M.Sc at the Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur in 1988, he joined Princeton University for his graduate studies. Later, he received his Ph.D. in 1994. He first presented his important paper on the optical approach to Quantum Computing in the year 2002 while he was a scientist at the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research in Bombay. For the last couple of years, he has been working on optical approaches for Adiabatic Quantum Computing to design scalable quantum computers. His experimentations are aimed to correlate optical computing to quantum computing. He is very few practitioners in the area of Quantum Computing harboring with biological relevance. He has edited a volume from Springer/AIP Series on "Quantum Computing: Back Action"^[1] which takes stock of the present achievements of Quantum Computing and is a forward-looking volume on the impact of the field into the future.

His research interests are ultrafast optical pulse shaping applications in coherent control, Terabit/sec data-transfer communication architecture, quantum computing and development of medical diagnostics like enhanced imaging schemes for precancer diagnosis using multiphoton microscopy.
