He published seminal papers on the use of phase space and master equations in quantum optics. He was one of the first to recognize that quantum interferences wcould be used to modify dissipative processes in quantum optics, a key part of current work on "slow light" and developed theoretical tools to address problems in open system dynamics now in use world-wide. He is Director of the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmedabad and has nurtured an internationally respected school of quantum optics in India over the past 30 years.
