Among other professional positions he was a Program Director for the National Science Foundation[2] and is currently the President-Elect of the American Society of Ichthyologist and Herpetologist.[3] He was named a TED Fellow in 2016,[4] and a TED Senior Fellow in 2018.[5] He was named an Elected Fellow of the AAAS for “distinguished contributions to evolutionary biology, focusing on the bioluminescent systems and historical biogeography of freshwater fishes, and for effectively communicating science to the public.”  [6]Table of ContentsResearch[edit]New species described[edit]Awards and honors[edit]Selected publications[edit]Books[edit]Journal articles[edit]References[edit]External links[edit]Research[edit]Chakrabarty’s research has taken him to over 30 countries [7] and has described over 13 new species of fishes. In 2014 he discovered Hoosier cavefish with colleagues Jacques Prejean and Matthew Niemiller.[8][9] As curator of fishes at LSU he has added 100k specimens to the collection. Using phylogenetic systematics, geometric morphometrics among others tools, Prosanta Chakrabarty attempts to understand  the evolution of biological diversity, molecular evolution, and conservation of marine and freshwater fishes.[10] His research interests are understanding the diversity and evolution of fish.New species described[edit]This section needs expansion.
