Chandrashekhar Janardan Joshi (born July 22, 1953, at Wai, Maharashtra, India) is an Indian–American experimental plasma physicist. He is known for his pioneering work in plasma-based particle acceleration techniques for which he won the 2006 James Clerk Maxwell Prize for Plasma Physics[1] and the 2023 Hannes Alfvén Prize (with Pisin Chen and James Rosenzweig).[2]
Joshi was elected a member of the National Academy of Engineering in 2014 for contributions to development of laser- and beam-driven plasma accelerators. He is currently Distinguished Professor of Electrical Engineering, the director of the Center for High Frequency Electronics and the head of the Neptune Laboratory for Advanced Accelerator Research at UCLA.[3]
