Kamalnayan Joshipura

Prof. K. N. Joshipura is one of those who are retired but untired in their academic endeavours. In his active career of about four decades he spent the first few years teaching physics to senior secondary and UG students in Anand (Gujarat). While the teacher in him ignited the young minds, the student in him was inspired to pursue research and he obtained his Ph.D. from M. S. University, Vadodara. Soon thereafter he joined the Department of Physics Sardar Patel University in Vallabh Vidyanagar (Gujarat), where he taught PG students and also guided Ph. D. scholars. His field of research is atomic-molecular physics, wherein his focus has been on electron scattering theory. His students are very active in this research field now. Prof. Joshipura has visited USA, UK, Germany, Italy, Austria and Spain for participating in conferences etc. He visited University College London UK under a joint travel award from Royal Society of London and INSA (India). His research monograph, ‘Atomic-molecular ionization by electron scattering’ with Prof. Nigel J. Mason (University of Kent UK) as coauthor, was published by the Cambridge University Press in 2019. He is a fellow of Gujarat Science Academy under which he wrote the Gujarati translation of a popular book on meteorites authored by Prof. Narendra Bhandari (scientist, formerly at PRL Ahmedabad).

He says, in his characteristic style, that a teacher like him is a 3-D creature, and the three dimensions of a teacher’s work-space are teaching, research and outreach. He is passionately involved in science outreach since long and has contributed actively in the district Community Science Centre at Vallabh Vidyanagar, working for students, teachers and common people for over 20 years.

He is an active life-member of the Indian Association of Physics Teachers (IAPT) since long. IAPT is a voluntary organization working for the cause of physics teaching and physics teachers all over India. In the Gujarat regional council of IAPT, he has been working on the editorial committee of “Pragaami Tarang’ an annual Gujarati/English magazine on physics and related areas.
