Prof. Bhowmick is one of the best teachers I have
ever had. Most thoughtful, incredible, rational,
professor ever. He has the gift of philosophy
so that everyone is inspired and feels comfort-
able without being scared by how intelligent he
truly is. Under his guidance, I learned more than
I could have ever asked. Beside the academic
knowledge, I have learned to manage my time,
set up priorities and obtain good results.
I found guidance, friendship, discipline and love
in one person. And that person is you- Prof. Anil K
Bhowmick. I am always being grateful to you for
all the hard work and efforts you have put in, for
guiding us. All the support you gave me helped
me get to where I am today. Wherever I may go
in my life, I will always remember that I had an
excellent teacher like you.

Professor Bhowmick is another face of perfec-
tion. From preparing an envelop of a letter to
dealing with a critical situation in a disciplined
way, he has no other contender. While he is strict
regarding work, however, at the same time, he is
very encouraging, caring and concerned other-
wise. In him I got to find an excellent teacher, a
perfect guide who showed the proper way to life
and a really good friend with whom I shared my
happiness and sadness. Sir, thank you so much
for infusing within me the confidence of being
what I am today and what I am doing today.
Im so thankful that you are my mentor! You
are not just a teacher to me but you are also a
motivation. It feels great to have like you who
have guided me to the right track in my profes-
sional life. Thanks for helping me to identify my
skills and strength during all the time, I worked
with you. Your hard work, dedication, fabulous
ability to research, positive attitude, enthusiasm
and intelligence have been my inspiration since I
became your student. The experience of working
with you, I strongly believe, will have far-reaching
influence in my future life. Thank you sir!

I would like to record my earnest gratitude and
thanks to Prof. Anil K. Bhowmick, for he gave me
a chance to work under his supervision and guid-
ance. He was extremely encouraging and had
constant reassuring smile from the initial stage of
research to the final level enabling us to develop
an understanding of the subject. In spite of his
numerous personal projects, he was always
accessible and willing to help his students with
their research, always had time to concentrate on
details of our work, had taken pain to go through
details of our papers and thesis, made necessary
corrections and gave invaluable pieces of advice.
He had continuously supplied direction and
insightful fresh ideas to his students which not
only made our research life smooth, but at the
same time, rewarding too. I feel myself extremely
fortunate that I was a part of Prof. Bhowmicks
research team.
Sir, It is a great privilege to work under your
supervision. Many thanks for your continued
support and guidance.

The years spent with Sir (journey), watching,
learning, and admiring his work ethic, as he
nurtured his wards toward their advanced
degrees (destination!) helped me realize that it
is always about the journey, and not the destina-
tion. So, relish it while at it, and cherish it forever!
Because the pebbles you pick up during this
journey alongside him, often shape up to be the
cornerstones for the life ahead.
Respected Sir, your clarity in the subject, skills
of presentation in writing and oral, perseverance
in achieving targets, passion and dedication to
the field of polymer research and perfect acumen
in management will always remain as a goal to
which I will aspire. My heartfelt thanks for all the
opportunities being given to me sir and truly you

As my ph.d guide, what he (sir) did for me was
almost like harvesting with goat (in bengali we
say chhagol diye langol chas) and that he did by
his excellent power of motivation, constant direct
involvement in my work (not only as my guide but
sometime as my co-worker also) & endless help
for any technical or non-technical, official or my
personal matter.
I found in Prof. Anil K. Bhowmick a complete
teacher who not only guide but also extend all
supports to his students. I very much owe to his
stringent training and encouragements for what
I am today.

I feel proud and happy to be one of Prof.
Bhowmicks research students, who encouraged
me to do atomic force microscopy way back in
2001, and ours was one of the very early papers
on AFM of rubber composites. This shows how
he is thinking ahead in his research topics and
how he is caring his students. He was consistent,
persistent and determined to make sure that
each student delivers the maximum and each
thesis attained its perfection. Thank you, Sir.
I consider Prof. A. K. Bhowmick as a role model
for my professional life. He shows his passion for
teaching and research amid his busy schedule
of administering an institution. His achievements
are highly commendable in the field of polymer

In my 45 years journey from Narendrapur
Ramakrishna Mission,IIT-Kharagpur, Iowa State
University, Massachusetts Institute ofTechnology
to IIT-Kanpur, I could not find another person like
Prof. AnilK. Bhowmick, who is my guruji, father,
teacher and an icon of myaccomplishments. He
inspired me to think big and dream big so
that,in the years ahead, I will be able to translate
these dreams into thereality. An example is Suc-
cessful Development of Road Wheel for Milita-
ryBattle Tank Arjuna. Today I am the most most
happiest person in theDepartment of Mechanical
Engineering at IIT-Kanpur.

Rubber Technology Centre at the Indian Institute
of Technology, Kharagpur, is the epicentre of
research in elastomer field in India where I began
my journey in 1986 with Prof Bhowmick as one
of his first PhD student funded by a DST project.
In the midst of all leading scientists there, I was
in a world of complete immersion, constant
discussions and engagement in science. I recall
Dr. Bhowmick - a very hands on and self-effacing
person- always found time to conduct research in
the lab. A man of principles and a superb scientist,
he always remained engaged with his students
and was very supportive of his researchers.
An eminent scientist in the field, he pioneered
many innovations in elastomer research. Re-
search is always a central part of his life, and
that is the secret of his success. This passion
for research has rewarded him with many chal-
lenging roles including his current role, and also
the community with many profound long lasting
outcomes. Thank you Prof Bhowmick for all your
support and inspiration during my study. I believe
many of your students have floated their research
boats like me with you for a journey to know the
unknown and have seen the impact of it.
A personality above mankind , a preacher , a
teacher, who awaken me and help me to arise
to be the person, I am today. Thank You, Sir, for
everything.

Prof. Bhowmicks hard work in a rather relaxed
environment at IIT-KGP was very inspiring. He
always challenged himself to do better and set
same high standard for his students/researchers.
His messages were always very clear and the
expectation that normally he sets in a project is
quite challenging which helps to get the best out
of a student/researcher.
Thank you very much for being my mentor.
