Brief Biodata:
Dr. Bikramjit Basu is currently an Associate Professor at Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore. Bikramjit obtained his undergraduate and postgraduate degrees,
both in Metallurgical Engineering from National Institute of Technology (NIT), Durgapur and Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore in 1995 and 1997, respectively.
He earned his PhD in Ceramics at Katholieke Universiteit Leuven, Belgium in March, 2001. He returned to India to join IIT Kanpur in November 2001 as Assistant
Professor after a brief post-doctoral research experience at University of California, Santa Barbara, USA. He joined IISc, Bangalore on 12th May, 2011. Dr. Basu
has authored/co-authored more than 150 peer-reviewed research papers with twenty papers in Journal of American Ceramic Society. He edited a book on
Biomaterials (2008) published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. and authored two textbooks as first author in each case - one on Structural Ceramics (2011) and the
other on Tribology (2011) to be published by John Wiley & Sons, Inc. in collaboration with American Ceramic Society. In recognition of his contributions to the field
of Ceramic Science and Biomaterials Science, Dr. Basu received noteworthy awards from the Indian Ceramic Society (2003), Indian National Academy of
Engineering (2004), the Indian National Science Academy (2005), .Metallurgist of the year. award (2010), instituted by Ministry of Steels, Government of India and
lately, .NASI - SCOPUS Young Scientist Award., 2010 by Elsevier partnered with the National Academy of Sciences, India (NASI). He is the first and only Indian
from India, till todate, to receive the prestigious .Coble Award for Young Scholars. (highest recognition for any young ceramicist around the world of age 35 or
below) from the American Ceramic Society in 2008.
