In his Bachelor's and Master's years, he was the recipient of the University Gold Medal for highest standing in all branches of engineering. He was a lecturer in Mechanical Engineering at Bengal Engineering College, Shibpur, from 1965 to 1970, and then served as Assistant Professor and finally Professor in the Mechanical Engineering Department at Indian Institute of Technology Kanpur from 1971 to 1997, when he was appointed Director of IIT Kharagpur, the oldest and largest of the IIT campuses. He has been a Senior Fellow of the Alexander Alexander von Humboldt Foundation in Germany since 1977, and is a Fellow of the Institution of Engineers, Indian National Academy of Engineering, Indian Academy of Science and the Indian National Science Academy. Professor Ghosh's professional interest lies in the fields of Manufacturing Science and Engineering Mechanics. He discovered a number of interesting phenomena, one of the more important being the effect of magnetic fields on wear. He was among the first to observe chaos in mechanical systems, and conducted one of the first experiments on chaos in mechanical systems in 1979. He pioneered teaching and research in the field of Robotics in India in 1984, and in 1989 helped found the Centre for Robotics at IIT Kanpur, where he inaugurated the first specialized postgraduate course in Robotics. He has published over 120 research papers and four books in India, the UK and the USA.
