Prof. Bhanu P. Jena was born in Jajpur, a small town in Odisha, India, on November 1, 1955, to Manju and Prafulla Jena. His early childhood was spent in remote villages in Odisha, where his grandfather Dr. Braja Kishore Jena practiced medicine. The dedication of his grandfather and his father to science and medicine and their service to humanity greatly influenced Prof. Jena to choose a career in science. Prof. Jena reflects” “Throughout my career, I have been fortunate to avail the opportunity to learn from wonderful teachers and scholars, and to work with students and colleagues with a passion for science. My parents and my family have been a great source of peace, inspiration, and joy in my life.” “The three stages of truth: At first it is ridiculed. Then, violently opposed and finally become accepted as self-evident.” Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860).
