Padma Shri. Prof. P. I. John
Dr. P. I. John sserved as Senior Professor and had occupied the Meghnad Saha Chair in Plasma Science
and Technology at the Institute for Plasma Research. He has contributed significantly to the nucleation and growth
of Plasma Physics and Fusion Research by his efforts in capacity generation, human resource development and
institution building. While at the Physical Research Laboratory in Ahmadabad, where he had set up an active Plasma
Physics Programme, he played a major role in establishing an indigenous fusion research programme in 1982 which
evolved into the Institute for Plasma Research in 1986. In 1997, Prof. John set up the Facilitation Centre for Industrial
Plasma Technologies, which successfully demonstrated that it was possible to translate knowledge in Physics into
industrially and strategically relevant technologies in surface engineering, environmental
remediation, material synthesis etc.
In a commercially viable manner. Prof. John has
mentored many plasma physicists and played a catalytic role in nucleating plasma physics
research in universities through leading many initiatives of the Department of Science
and Technology. Prof. John participated in the negotiations leading to India becoming a
partner in the ITER project and helped establish ITER-India, the entity managing the Indian
commitment to ITER. He was a member of the Science and Technology Advisory Committee
of ITER and represented India on the ITER Council. He served as the Co-Chairman of the
Indo-Euratom. Coordination Committee for Collaboration in Fusion Research between India and Euratom Partners.
With India’s entry into ITER, Prof. John developed the National Fusion Programme for broadening the base of Indian
research in fusion science and technology by funding universities and educational institutions in research in this area
and continues to serve as Chairman, Plasma and Fusion Research Committee of the BRNS.
Prof. John has close to 90 publications in international journals and holds 12 patents for plasma devices and plasma-aided manufacturing processes. His book “Plasma Sciences and the Creation of Wealth”, published by Tata
McGraw-Hill in 2005 addresses a broad audience on the value addition through plasma-based technologies. A translation of this book into the Chinese language has been brought out. Prof. John is a Fellow of the Indian Academy of Sciences and Gujarat Science Academy. He was a consultant to the International Atomic Energy Agency, Vienna on industrial plasma applications, to the International Centre for Theoretical Physics, Trieste on capacity building in plasma physics in developing countries and to the UN University, Tokyo on promotion of plasma physics research in developing countries. He served as Head, Physics Section of the IAEA in 2002-2003. In recognition of the contributions made by Prof John to Science and Technology, the Government of India honored him with Padma Shri in 2010.
