Her fields of specialization are in theoretical condensed matter, quantum information theory, statistical physics, biological physics and systems.
[1] Bose obtained her Ph.D. (Physics) in 1981 from Rajabazar Science College, University of Calcutta.
[citation needed] Bose's research interests include the problem of quantum many body systems, quantum information theory, statistical mechanics and systems biology.
[4] She also developed a strong solid-state theory group in the Bose Institute.
[5] Bose was the first recipient of the Stree Shakthi Science Samman award (2000)[6] for her work on exact solutions of model Hamiltonian (low dimensions) in the context of magnetic systems.
