Pramod V. Argade is an author, physicist, and computer architect whose work examines the fragile boundary between scientific progress and human judgment.

Trained as a physicist and shaped by decades designing advanced semiconductor technologies, he brings real-world depth to his fiction. He holds a master’s degree from the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay, and a Ph.D. in physics from Boston University, and is the inventor or co-inventor on eighteen U.S. patents.

In his debut novel, Phool: First Contact, Pramod draws on his science, technology, and multicultural experiences to explore what happens when discovery moves faster than wisdom and humanity’s greatest obstacle becomes its unwillingness to confront uncomfortable truths.

Pramod lives in California.
