Atul Bhadkamkar

Atul S. Bhadkamkar received the B.Tech degree in Chemical Engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay in 1990, and the M.S. and PhD. degrees in Chemical Engineering from University of Utah in 1992 and 1995. He received his M.S. degree in Electrical Engineering from the University of Colorado in 2001.

His research interest is in generation of coherent near and mid-infrared light. He has worked with solid-state lasers and is working on controlling a dual femtosecond setup. He is investigating the use of microresonators for four wave mixing and a low-noise, wide bandwidth, coherent, rugged, compact infrared source. The infrared source is translated to mid- infrared using difference frequency mixing and use of optical parametric oscillation.

Atul has over twenty years of industrial experience in power electronics, electronics and embedded controls, having worked for Eaton Corp., PELCO, Softswitching Technologies, Powerstream Technologies in the past and currently at ABB. He has coauthored publications in all these areas.
