Prof. Dipak Ghosh, a University Gold medalist and a PhD in the area of High Energy Physics, published more than four hundred papers in international journals across the world. He was the Professor and Dean of the faculty of Science, Jadavpur University. He supervised the PhD thesis of 70 students and still continuing in doing so. From 2004, he started to work in the area of physics and music and established the Sir C V Raman Centre for Physics and Music, Jadavpur University. He worked as the coordinator of the Centre till his retirement in 2010. In this connection he has published more than hundred papers on music information retrieval and clinical psychology. Presently he is the Emeritus Professor at the Centre. His area interest for the last three years is to study the effect of music on human brain from the neuro-physics perspective. Prof. Ghosh is the recipient of many awards including Sir C.V. Raman Award by U.G.C, Govt. of India for his in-depth research work in various disciplines.
