Arati Dasgupta (born 1949) [1] is a plasma physicist. Originally from India, she works in the US as head of the Radiation Hydrodynamics Branch in the Plasma Physics Division of the United States Naval Research Laboratory. [2]

Dasgupta is originally from Kolkata. [3] She was an undergraduate physics major at the University of Maryland, College Park, [4] graduating in 1973; she continued there for a 1976 master's degree and 1983 Ph.D., [2] with the dissertation Application of the Method of Polarized Orbilals to the Photoionization of the Sodium Atom and to Electron Scattering from Ionized Sodium. [5] After postdoctoral research in industry, she joined the Naval Research Laboratory in 1986. [3] She became section head in 2015 and branch head in 2020. [2]

She was named as a Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 2010, after a nomination from the APS Division of Atomic, Molecular & Optical Physics, "for contributions to the theory of electron collisions with atoms and ions, and their applications to gaseous electronics, short laser pulses, inertial confinement fusion, and astrophysical plasmas". [6] She became a Fellow of the Washington Academy of Sciences in 2014, [2] [7] and received the IEEE Plasma Science and Applications Committee Award in 2024. [2] She was named as an IEEE Fellow, in the 2025 class of fellows, "for contributions to high energy density plasma, atomic, and radiation physics". [8]
