'''Atanu Kumar Pati''' is an Indian zoologist, serving as the Vice-Chancellor [[Gangadhar Meher University]] (GMU) Sambalpur, Odisha.<ref>{{Cite web|date=2020-06-10|title=COVID-19: Tenure of these VCs extended in Odisha {{!}} Sambad English|url=https://sambadenglish.com/covid-19-tenure-of-these-vice-chancellors-extended-in-odisha/|access-date=2021-02-06|language=en-US}}</ref>

==Early life and education==

Pati did his B.Sc. from [[Utkal University]] and M.Sc. (1977) and Ph.D. (1982) in Zoology from [[Banaras Hindu University]]. He has also received the UGC Research Award in 2002. He has also been elected as Fellow of the [[National Academy of Sciences, India]] (FNASc) in 2003. He presided the Indian Society for Chronobiology as its President from 2008 till 2017. He served the International Society of Subterranean Biology [Société Internationale de Biospéologie] [http://www.fi.cnr.it/sibios/] as its Council Member, from 2004-2010. He is also Professor, Head, Dean, School of Life Sciences [[Pandit Ravishankar Shukla University]] (on lien).

==Career==
BSc (1975) - Utkal University; MSc (1977) - Banaras Hindu University; PhD (1982) - Banaras Hindu
University; Cours de Chronobiologie (1986) - L’Université V, Paris. Post-doctoral research at
Hôpital Paul Brousse, Villejuif (L’Université V, Paris). Faculty — School of Life Sciences - (1983-
Present). Council Member, World Federation of Societies of Chronobiology, 2002-2006.
Recipient of UGC Research Award, 2002. Fellow of the National Academy of Sciences (FNASc),
India, 2003. Council Member, International Society of Subterranean Biology, 2004–2010.
Member, International Scientific Board, 1st, 2nd, 3rd International Congress of Applied
Chronobiology and Chronomedicine. Editor-in-Chief, Newsletter, Indian Society for
Chronobiology, 1995–1997, 2000-2009. Editor-in-Chief, Journal of Ravishankar University, Part B
(Science) from 2009–present. President, Indian Society for Chronobiology, from 2009–present.[https://web.archive.org/web/20101226102148/http://www.prsu.ac.in/TPro/Enclosure-1.pdf]

==Research work==
The main focus of his research involves study of circadian clocks in shift workers, cancer
patients and cave fish. In addition, he studies cognitive abilities, with reference to short-interval
judgment, in human subjects. He also studied cognitive abilities involving case construction
behavior in a species of bagworm moth. He demonstrated alteration in temporal organization
in human subjects, who carry out rotational shift duties. He reported disruption of circadian
rhythm in cognitive judgment of short-time intervals in shift workers. He proposed a model for
optimization of human shift work. He reported that shift work might reduce human
longevity. He reported disruption of circadian clock in cancer patients and suggested
implementation of patient-specific chronotherapeutic protocol. He demonstrated functional
circadian oscillators in cave fish and reinterpreted findings of others to rule out the hypothesis
of clock regression in hypogean fish. He reported rhythmic pattern in case architecture of
bagworm moth. He proposed a model illustrating the ability of this moth to process thorn
length and distance signals hierarchically during case construction through toggling its
preference between thorns and cut-twigs.[https://web.archive.org/web/20111117034820/http://www.prsu.ac.in/lifescience.htm]
