Nirmalya Ghosh (born 1974) is an Indian physicist known for his research in the field of Optical Polarization and related phenomena. He is a professor in the Department of Physical Sciences[1] and Centre of Excellence in Space sciences India (CESSI),[2] Indian Institute of Science Education and Research (IISER) Kolkata.[3] At IISER Kolkata, Nirmalya established the bio-optics and Nano-photonics (bioNap)[4] research laboratory to carry out research on fundamental aspects of light-matter interactions and its diverse practical applications. The research of bioNap group headed by Ghosh on polarized light has impacted multiple areas of optical sciences from quantum optics, space optics, and biomedical optics, to material sciences and spectroscopy. Ghosh was the 2021 recipient of the G.G Stokes Award in Optical Polarization[5][6] by SPIE, the international society of optics and photonics. He is elected fellow of Indian Academy of Sciences (FASc).[7][8] and National Academy of Sciences, India (FNASc)[9]
