Biography

Professor Agarwal received his M.S. from Banaras Hindu University in 1966 and his Ph.D. from the University of Rochester in 1969. He specializes primarily in quantum optics and broadly in quantum physics. His theoretical work focuses on quantum effects in hybrid systems, quantum phase transitions, and collective effects in cavities driven by squeezed light. Additionally, he explores Frohlich condensates, coupling quantum emitters with metamaterials, and chiral quantum systems. His experimental efforts are based on super-resolution microscopy and quantum sensing, particularly focused on bio-photonics applications. He is involved in the Institute for Quantum Science & Engineering, contributing to advances in these complex fields.
