SES INSTRUMENTS - Key Persons
Dr. Kailash Chandra did his M.Sc (Physics) in 1962, Ph.D in 1968 from the University of Roorkee (now IIT-Roorkee) and postdoc at Uppsala University, Sweden. His research area was Mossbauer spectroscopy where he himself developed the laboratory from scratch and brought to International level. He joined the faculty of Physics at University of Roorkee in 1967 and rose to Professor and Director in 1980 at University Science Instrumentation Centre (USIC) of University of Roorkee. His main interest has always been experimental Physics and Instrumentation. Towards the later part of his active service he started working in Nanosciece technology and published more than a dozen research papers.
His associations with us have proved very vital in the development of many new equipment and experiments.
Ravi Prakash, joined Scientific Equipment & Services in 1991 after completing his M.Tech. from IIT Roorkee. Under his dynamic leadership the company turnover grew at the rate of more than 30% every year. The company presence grew in more than 30 countries worldwide and its market share in India grew to more than 70% in its line of equipment. In 2009 to address the growing needs of the company, it was changed into a Pvt. Ltd. entity with a new name SES Instruments Pvt. Ltd.. He took over as Managing Director of the company in 2010 and with his past experience the company is all set to achieve new heights in coming years.
After his M.Sc. (Physics) from Allahabad University and Ph.D. from Calcutta University, Dr. Anand Prakash joined the California, Institute of Technology, Pasedena, as a faculty member. During the period (1965-69) he worked on the crystal structures of various high pressure forms of ICE (ii to ix) by X-ray Diffraction and later by Neutron Diffraction at High Flux Beam Reactor at Brookhaven National Lab., N.Y. He also worked in the McMaster University, Canada on the crystal structure of alkaloids (1969-71). On returning, he joined the University of Roorkee, Roorkee. There he realized the need of new experiments in Physics which could bring insight into the subject and improve the quality of teaching.
