SARASIJ MAJUMDER

He is a master blaster. He is Professor C.N.R. Rao. He was also awarded BHARAT RATNA (highest civilian award) in 2014 with Mr. Sachin Tendulkar by President Pranab Mukherjee. He is the third scientist receiving this award after C V Raman and APJ Abdul Kalam. He has done a lot of work in solid state and structural chemistry. He has authored around 1,500 research papers and 45 scientific books. With citations of around 44,000, Rao is on the editorial boards of several leading journals dealing with chemistry, chemical physics, materials science and solid-state chemistry.

If I have to mention here his all achievements the BLOG will be too big.

C.N.R. Rao received the maximum number of votes from chemists across the world in the choice for the Nobel Prize in 2016 but he did not get it. You Know Why???

 Prof. Rao also received international honour for material research. He is the first Asian to be chosen for the prestigious Von Hippel Award.

His contribution: - Rao was one of the earliest to synthesise two-dimensional oxide materials such as La2CuO4 He was one of the first to synthesise 123 cuprates, the first liquid nitrogen-temperature superconductor in 1987. He was also the first to synthesis Y junction carbon nanotubes in the mid-1990s. His work has led to a systematic study of compositionally controlled metal-insulator transitions.

AFTER COMPLETING M.SC. at BHU, HE WORKED WITH Dr. LINUS PAULING’s PhD (post-doctoral degree) students in Purdue University in the US. After researching also in Berkeley University under leading scientists of the time, he decided to return to India, even though he had felt at home in the US, both academically and culturally.

WHERE HE WORKED in INDIA: -

IIT (KANPUR), IISC (BANGALORE)—Retired as Director, Associated with ISRO. Functioning as an Adviser to PM in Science, and Technology.

He is working now at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research in Bangalore, a centre for pioneering scientists, set up by him.
