Prof. Deepak Pandey earned his doctoral degree in Quantum Optics at Raman Research Institute in Bangalore, India. He then moved to L'Institut d'Optique Bordeaux, France to research on the topic of ultra-cold atoms, Bose-Einstein-Condensate and optical resonators.

During his postdoctoral tenure at the University of Bonn, Germany, he further expanded his expertise in the field of cavity quantum electrodynamics (cavity-QED), working with systems involving single-atoms trapped inside optical cavities. He also specialized in the sophisticated design of fiber-based resonators and investigated their applications in atomic physics, sensing, and quantum technology.

Prior to joining IUCAA in 2025, he worked as a Project Leader at Menlo Systems GmbH in Munich, where he led research initiatives focused on optical resonator systems, atomic clocks and their applications.

His current research interests include instrumentation for the LIGO-India project, quantum state generation using cavity-QED systems, precision measurements, and quantum technologies at the interface of astronomy and astrophysics.
