Arati Dasgupta
Arati Dasgupta (born 1949)[1] is a plasma physicist. Originally from India, she works in the US as head of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch in the Plasma Physics Division of the United States Naval Research Laboratory.[2]
Dasgupta is originally from Kolkata.[3] She was an undergraduate physics major at the University of Maryland, College Park,[4] graduating in 1973; she continued there for a 1976 master's degree and 1983 Ph.D.,[2] with the dissertation Application of the Method of Polarized Orbilals to the Photoionization of the Sodium Atom and to Electron Scattering from Ionized Sodium.[5] After postdoctoral research in industry, she joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1986.[3] She became section head in 2015 and branch head in 2020.[2]
She was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2010, after a nomination from the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics, "for contributions to the theory of electron collisions with atoms and ions, and their applications to gaseous electronics, short laser pulses, inertial confinement fusion, and astrophysical plasmas".[6] She became a Fellow of the Washington Academy of Sciences in 2014,[2][7] and received the IEEE Plasma Science and Applications Committee Award in 2024.[2] She was named as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2025 class of fellows, "for contributions to high energy density plasma, atomic, and radiation physics".[8]
