Anand Dev Ranjan awarded an SPIE Optics and Photonics Scholarship

Anand Dev Ranjan has been awarded a 2024 Optics and Photonics Scholarship by SPIE, the International Society for optics and photonics, for potential contributions to optics, photonics, or a related field.

Dev Ranjan is currently working with Professor Ayan Banerjee in the Department of Physical Sciences at the Indian Institute of Science Education and Research Kolkata (India). He focuses on two significant challenges in today’s world: The growing demand for faster and more cost-effective biosensors, supplemented by a need for more congenial fabrication strategies. “My work focuses on microbubble lithography - a technique for developing microscopic patterns of diverse materials using microbubbles created by a high-intensity laser spot inside optical tweezers,” noted Dev Ranjan. “These microbubbles can cause dispersed materials to self-assemble, resulting in the formation of continuous patterns.” Dev Ranjan is harnessing this technique to develop a multi-disease diagnostic platform. “I am pursuing research with a motivation to serve both science and society,” said Dev Ranjan. “Thank you, SPIE, for appreciating my work. I am especially grateful to my family, friends, professors, and Krushna.”

This month, the Society is awarding $303,000 in scholarships to 72 outstanding SPIE Student Members, based on their potential contribution to optics and photonics, or a related discipline. Successful applicants were evaluated, selected, and approved by the SPIE Scholarship Committee, chaired by SPIE Senior Member Brian Primeau.
