Partha P. Mondal was born in Hanskhali, West Bengal, India, on February 21, 1978, received his Ph.D. in physics in 2006 from the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, India. He was Researcher at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (USA), International Center for Theoretical Physics (Italy), and University of Genova (Italy). Subsequently, he joined the Indian Institute of Science as Assistant Professor in 2010 and currently serves as Full Professor and Chairman of Centre for Cryogenic Technology. He is credited with the invention of iLIFE lightsheet imaging cytometry, iCLASS lightsheet nanolithography and Lightsheet Optical Tweezer (LOT). He visited several universities as visiting Professor and has served on the editorial board of several journals. He authored three books: classical & quantum optics, light sheet microscopy & imaging, and fundamentals of fluorescence microscopy.  His laboratory (Nanobioimaging Lab) specializes in optical tweezer, imaging cytometry, optical instrumentation, fluorescence spectroscopy, super-resolution microscopy, nanobiology, fluorescence imaging, cell & disease biophysics and single molecule physics.Samuel T. Hess developed fluorescence photoactivation localization microscopy (FPALM), one of three new techniques to break the diffraction barrier in 2006, offering life scientists an incredible boost in imaging power. He is a professor of physics in the Department of Physics and Astronomy at the University of Maine, Orono, Maine. Prof. Hess earned all of his degrees in physics: his B.S. at Yale and M.S. and Ph.D. at Cornell University.
