Ravi Veeraraghavan Gomatam (born 1950, in Chennai, India) is the Director of ''(Bhaktivedanta Institute )'' (Berkeley and Mumbai) and the newly formed ''(Institute of Semantic Information Sciences and Technology )'' (Berkeley and Mumbai). He is also Adjunct Professor at Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani, Rajasthan, India. Gomatam is one of the pioneers in the field of (consciousness studies ), which is an emerging inter-disciplinary scientific field. He organized the “(First International Conference on the Study of Consciousness within Science )” in January 1990 in San Francisco. The speakers at the 2-day conference included two Nobel Laureates (Sir John Eccles and George Wald) as well as twelve other distinguished researchers in the field (including Henry Stapp, John Searle, E.C.G. Sudarshan, Karl H. Pribram, Herbert Frohlich).〔(【引用サイトリンク】 The First International Conference for the Study of Consciousness within Science )〕 Subsequently, Gomatam conceived and launched the world's first M.S./Ph.D. programs in "(consciousness studies )",〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Bhaktivedanta Institute Graduate Studies )〕 in collaboration with the Birla Institute of Technology & Science (BITS), Pilani (one of India's foremost technological universities). The program was inaugurated in 1997 by Charles Hard Townes, Nobel Laureate in physics (1964) and recipient of Templeton Prize (2005). Gomatam also teaches graduate students in this program. Graduates of this program have gone on to do further studies at distinguished institutions, including Harvard, Leeds and Utrecht universities. "Consciousness Studies" is a developing, inter-disciplinary scientific field, which Gomatam has particularly reconceived in a novel, original fashion, as a new way of studying ''matter''. Gomatam’s own field of research is foundations of quantum mechanics, wherein he is introducing a few new ideas, including those of “Objective, Semantic Information” and a notion of "Relational Properties" that is different from that of Rovelli and others. His new ideas have received notice for their potential.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 Some Scholarly Appreciations )〕 He has related research interests in semantic computation, systems sciences, artificial intelligence, philosophy of science and philosophy of language. ==Education== * B.E. 1972 Electrical and Electronics Engineering, Annamalai University, India * M.E. 1974 Electronics Engineering, Birla Institute of Technology & Science, Pilani, India * Ph.D. 1998 Foundations of Quantum Mechanics, Mumbai University, India.
