Kumble R. Subbaswamy
Kumble R. Subbaswamy completed his B.S. and M.S. in India and went to Indiana University Bloomington as a graduate student in 1971. He completed his Ph.D. in theoretical condensed matter physics in 1976. After a stint as a post-doctoral fellow at the University of California, Irvine, he joined the physics faculty at the University of Kentucky in 1978. His primary research area has been the optical properties of novel materials, and nonlinear excitations; he has published more than 60 research articles, and co-authored a monograph. He was elected a Fellow of the American Physical Society in 1989. At the University of Kentucky he served as Associate Dean of Arts and Sciences and as physics department chair before leaving in 1997 to join the University of Miami as the Dean of Arts and Sciences. He returned to his alma mater in July 2000 as Professor of Physics and Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences. He oversaw the development of many new programs (in international studies, biotechnology) and a reinvestment in the life sciences at IU, Bloomington. He is a strong advocate for technology transfer, and was the Chair of the Bloomington Life Sciences Partnership from 2003-2006. In July 2006 he came back to the University of Kentucky as Provost.
