Professor P. Senthilkumaran is currently working as a Professor in the Physics Department, Indian Institute of Technology Delhi (IITDelhi). He was a senior project officer and received his PhD from IIT Madras in 1995. He is a recipient of the Young Scientist Award from Indian National Science Academy (INSA), New Delhi and Alexander von Humboldt fellowship, Germany in 1997 and 2001, respectively. Professor Senthilkumaran has been teaching undergraduate and postgraduate courses on a variety of fields including on basic physics, electromagnetic theory, optics and lasers, Fourier optics, holography and more. His research interests include optical beam shaping, optical phase singularities, Berry and Pancharatnam topological phases, fiber optics, holography, non-destructive testing techniques, shear interferometry, Talbot interferometry, speckle metrology and non-linear optics. He has authored/co-authored more than one hundred research publications and has over 15 years' experience researching singularities in optics and has supervised 8 doctoral theses.

| Summary: | Singularities are pervasive throughout nature and this book is one of the first to combine all aspects of singular optics and to give a detailed view of the subject. Singularities in Optical Physics and Engineering give a thorough introduction to singularities and their development and goes on to explain in detail important topics such as the types of singularities, their properties, detection and application and the emerging research trends that are still developing. The book concentrates mostly on phase singularities in a comprehensive development to allow a greater understanding of singularities throughout the chapters. It also discusses polarization singularities in its final chapter giving an in-depth description of this subject. With new advances being generated continuously, this book will cover a vibrant field of optics and will give an essential foundation to any students and researchers interested in singular optics.
