Dr. Kattawar's research interests include: radiative transfer in realistic planetary atmospheres and oceans with inclusion of polarization and high resolution spectroscopic calculations such as Raman and Rayleigh-Brillouin scattering;theoretical studies of the interactions of femtosecond laser pulses with particles; theoretical studies of absorption using a new integrating sphere technique;study of enhanced backscattering in dense media; Cloaking for particle invisibility; propagation of ultrashort laser pulses in water. Professor Kattawar received his B.S. degree from Lamar University with highest honors, and his M.S. and Ph.D. degrees from Texas A&M University on a National Defense and Education Act Fellowship. Before joining the faculty at Texas A&M, he was at Los Alamos Scientific Laboratory, Esso Production Research and the University of North Texas. He is a Fellow of the Optical Society of America, formerly associate editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research: Oceans, and the Journal of Transport Theory and Statistical Physics. In 1981, he received the Amoco Foundation Award for distinguished teaching, and in 1990 won a Teacher/Scholar Award.
