Dr. Arpan Bhowmik is actively involved in research, teaching, training, student guidance and advisory services in Agricultural Statistics for the last ten years at ICAR-Indian Agricultural Statistics Research Institute, New Delhi. He, worked in diverse areas of Experimental Designs, Informatics, Statistical Genomics, Statistics for Biology and Statistics for Social research. He has Made significant contributions in developing designs and analytical methodologies for experiments involving indirect effects (e.g. neighbour effects, trend effects etc.), cost efficient designs for experiments involving hard-to-change factors, fitting response surface models in presence of neighbour effects, designs when observations are correlated, designs for polycross trials etc. He is involved in development of different online software/databases/Mobile apps/SAS macros/ R-packages which are providing readymade solutions to the end users and making global impact. Mixture distribution approach has been used for identifying differentially expressed genes. Sliding window methodology has been developed and used to divide the genome into homogeneous segments and identify the change points in Rice and Escherichia coli genome. He has documented success stories of different agri-entrepreneurs. Till date he has published 114 research papers out of which 45 research papers published in journal having an impact factor, 1 book, 7 book chapters, 1 paper in conference proceeding, 14 E-article/popular articles, 16 reference manual, 11 E-manual/E-book, 6 technical bulletin/project reports and some other documents. He is also involved in different research projects in different capacities. He organized a number of national and international training programmes and workshops. He was actively involved in organization of Eight International Conference of Agricultural Statistics (ICAS-VIII) a mega event of Food and Agricultural Organization which was held at New Delhi during 2019. He has received IARI Merit Medal for outstanding research work done during the Ph.D., International Travel Support Award for Young Scientist from SERB, DST, GOI for attending III LACSC at University of Costa Rica in 2018,Young Scientist Award from different professional societies, Krishi Vigyan Gaurav (Honorary Title) for carrying out research work in official language Hindi from Bhartiya Krishi Anusandhan Samiti and a number of best poster award. Beside he is being involved in development of KRISHI portal : ICAR research data repository which bagged gold icon in Open Data Category under Digital India Award 2020 of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology, Government of India. He has served as guest faculty for teaching a course on Computational Statistics at Thiagarajar College of Engineering, Madurai under Joint teaching programme of the college. He has also received two copyrights. He has successfully guided 3 M.Sc. student and presently guiding 1 Ph.D. students as major guide.
