Chennupati Jagadish AC (born 1957), an Indian-Australian physicist and academic, is the President of the Australian Academy of Science,[1] and an Emeritus Professor of Physics at the Australian National University Research School of Physics. He is head of the Semiconductor Optoelectronics and Nanotechnology Group which he established in 1990. He is also the Convener of the Australian Nanotechnology Network and Director of Australian National Fabrication Facility ACT Node.[2]
Jagadish obtained his B.Sc. degree in physics from Acharya Nagarjuna University (VSR College, Tenali) in 1977, M.Sc. (Tech) in applied physics (with specialisation in electronics) from Andhra University in 1980 and M.Phil. and Ph.D. degrees in physics (semiconducting thin films) from the University of Delhi in 1982 and 1986, respectively.[3]
Career
After completing his PhD in physics at the University of Delhi, Jagadish worked at Sri Venkateswara College, New Delhi as a lecturer in Physics and Electronics during 1985–1988. He was a post-doctoral fellow at Queen's University Physics Department during 1988–1990. He moved to the Australian National University in 1990 to join the newly established Department of Electronic Materials Engineering in the Research School of Physics.[4] He has served as vice-president and Secretary for Physical Sciences of the Australian Academy of Science (2012–2016)[5] and was elected President of the academy in May 2022, to serve a term of four years until May 2026.[1]
Jagadish has worked with overseas universities including the University of Oxford, University of Tokyo, IIT Delhi, IIT Hyderabad, University of Hyderabad and National Taiwan University where he holds honorary positions.[3]
He is an active member of IEEE Australian Material Research Society where he was President (2019–2022). He was also President, IEEE Photonics Society (2018–2019), and President, IEEE Nanotechnology Council (2008–2009), and regularly speaks at international conferences and meetings on Material Sciences, Photonics, Electronics, Semiconductors, Quantum Electronics, Physics, etc. He has also delivered plenary talks, and guest talks and organised several sessions in MRS, IEEE meetings around the globe.[3]
He is now serving as Editor-in-Chief for Applied Physics Reviews[6] (January 2020 – present). Before joining APR, he served as Editor-in-Chief for Progress in Quantum Electronics (2016–2019), and as Co-Editor-in-Chief for the International Journal of High Speed Electronics and Systems (2014–2019).
