Indiana University–Purdue University Indianapolisمعرفی
Yogesh N Joglekar serves as Professor of Physics at Indiana University Bloomington, where he maintains an active theoretical research program spanning quantum systems and condensed matter physics. His work bridges mathematical rigor with experimental relevance across multiple physical domains.
His academic foundation includes:
- Ph.D. in Physics from Indiana University, Bloomington (1996-2001)
- Integrated M.Sc. in Physics from IIT Kanpur, India (1991-1996)
Professor Joglekar's research centers on PT-symmetric quantum mechanics, where he investigates non-Hermitian phenomena in lattice models, graphene-based quantum Hall systems, and memristive devices. His approach integrates mathematical physics with practical applications, frequently collaborating with postdocs and students ranging from undergraduates to high-school level as highlighted in his Nature Q&A. Current projects explore excitonic supersolid states and PT-waveguide implementations.
His 2015 publications reveal a cohesive research trajectory applying PT-symmetry principles across diverse physical contexts - from quantum optical models to fluid dynamics - demonstrating remarkable interdisciplinary versatility while maintaining theoretical depth. This consistent focus on symmetry-breaking phenomena establishes him as a significant contributor to non-Hermitian physics.
His honors include:
- National Science Foundation CAREER Award (2011)
- KITP Scholar Fellowship (2013-2015)
- Benjamin Meaker Visiting Professorship at University of Bristol (2013)
- Indiana University Trustees' Teaching Award (2009)
- School of Science Research Award (2012)
- Kathryn J. Wilson Award (2013)
Joglekar maintains an active research group mentoring graduate and undergraduate students while securing competitive funding including the prestigious NSF CAREER grant. His international collaborations are exemplified by the University of Bristol visiting position, reflecting his standing in the global theoretical physics community. Though primarily theoretical, his work maintains strong connections to experimental implementations in quantum devices and materials science.
His research operates within Indiana University's theoretical physics framework, utilizing computational and analytical methods to investigate quantum phenomena without dedicated laboratory facilities, emphasizing mathematical modeling and cross-disciplinary applications.
