Swapan Kumar Gayen received his B. Sc. (Honors) and M. Sc. degrees in Physics from the University of Dacca, Bangladesh, in 1975 and 1977, respectively, and his Ph. D. in Physics from the University of Connecticut, Storrs, in 1984. He is currently a Professor of Physics at the City College and the Graduate Center of the City University of New York, and a member of the doctoral faculty of Physics and Electrical Engineering. His research interests are in optical biomedical imaging, imaging of targets in turbid media, tunable solid-state lasers, spectroscopy of impurity ions in solids, nonlinear optics, ultrafast laser spectroscopy, and optical spectroscopy and microscopy of nanoscale materials and composites. Dr. Gayen is a member of the American Physical Society, the Optical Society of America, and the New York Academy of Sciences.
