Biography
Asim Gangopadhyaya earned his Ph.D. in theoretical particle physics from the City University of New York. He is an accomplished educator and a recipient of the Sujack Award for Teaching Excellence at Loyola University Chicago. His teaching extends beyond the classroom, as he frequently collaborates with undergraduate students on both pedagogical and research articles, preparing them to actively contribute to academic scholarship. Prof. Gangopadhyaya is also a co-author of a book on supersymmetric quantum mechanics. His current research focuses on the solvability of quantum mechanical systems, an active area of research in theoretical physics.
Constantin Rasinariu holds a Ph.D. in theoretical physics from the University of Illinois at Chicago, where his research focused on superintegrable systems. A dedicated educator and researcher, he brings over three decades of teaching experience across two continents. Prof. Rasinariu has co-authored two textbooks: one on mathematical methods and another one, with Prof. Gangopadhyaya, on supersymmetric quantum mechanics, now in its second edition. His current research interests include supersymmetric quantum mechanics, the fundamentals of quantum mechanics, and quantum computing.
