Sushil Misra is a Full Professor of Physics at Concordia University, Montreal, Canada. Professor Misra received his Ph.D. from Saint Louis University, USA, and spent sabbatical leaves at Harvard University, Paul Sabatier University (Toulouse, France), Technische Hogeshule (Delft, Holland), Monash University (Melbourne, Australia), and Cornell University. He has done extensive experimental and theoretical research in the area of electron paramagnetic resonance for the last 28 years, with some 210 papers to his credit. Currently, he is a collaborating faculty member at ACERT (Advanced Center for Electron Spin Research Technology at Cornell University). He has written numerous review articles and book chapters on EPR, and has been invited frequently as a specialist to present lectures at international conferences.
