Pranawachandra Deshmukh[1][2] is an Indian physicist and educator renowned for his contributions to theoretical atomic physics, atomic collisions, light-matter interactions, ultrafast atomic processes, and applications of Lambert W Function in pure and applied physics. He has made significant contributions to physics education, including publishing foundational classical and quantum physics textbooks[3]. Throughout his teaching career, he has instructed courses in classical mechanics[4], electrodynamics, quantum mechanics, and quantum collision physics[5][6]. Many of his lectures are freely accessible through the National Programme on Technology Enhanced Learning[6] [7][4][5][8](NPTEL), Swayamprabha where they benefit students and educators across India and beyond. His research group is one of the main contributors to the relativistic many-body studies of atomic photoionization[9][10][11][12][13], especially the studies of free and confined atoms and of attosecond time delay[14][15][16][17].

Currently, he serves as the Founder-Convenor and Mentor of the Center for Atomic, Molecular, and Optical Sciences ad Technologies (CAMOST[18])[19] in Tirupati. CAMOST is a joint initiative of the Indian Institute of Technology Tirupati (IITT)[20] and the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Tirupati (IISERT)[21]. Concurrently, he is RV Chair Professor at the Centre for Quantum Science and Technology (CQST), School of Computer Science and Engineering (SoCSE)[22] at RV University, where he guides research and educational efforts in quantum science, drawing on his vast expertise to support the center’s growth and innovation. Besides, he is the Chief Technology Advisor to the Vivekananda Institute of Professional Studies (VIPS), Delhi[23]
