Prof. Arabinda Roy graduated from Presidency College, followed by M.Sc.degree from the University of Calcutta .He has two Doctoral degrees to his credit, one from Calcutta University (1969) and the other from the University of Cambridge (U.K) in 1972 under Dr. E.R. Lapwood. He was awarded Commonwealth Research Fellowship to work at Emmanuel College, Cambridge (1969-72).He started his professional career in 1974 at Geological Survey of India as Senior Geophysicist. He later joined his alma mater the Department of Applied Mathematics, University of Calcutta from where he retired as a Professor in 2007 after serving for more than three decades. He was a visiting Professor at I.I.M.A.S., UNAM for a year in 1981. He worked as Principal investigator in a UGC research project. Four students worked under him for Ph.D. degree. Roy’s research interests primarily include theoretical Seismology, wave propagation, vibration and scattering problems, contact and crack theory and associated fields. He has oft-quoted publications in journals of international repute.
