Chandrabhas Narayana

About

Chandrabhas Narayana is a Professor with Chemistry and Physics of Materials Unit, at Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore (JNCASR). He was the Director of Rajiv Gandhi Centre for Biotechnology, Thiruvananthapuram from (2020 to 2025), a Department of Biotechnology, Government of India institute. After receiving his Ph.D. from Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore (IISc), he worked as a postdoctoral fellow in the Materials Science and Engineering department at Cornell University, NY, on Metallic Hydrogen under extreme pressures. Prof. Narayana then joined JNCASR as an Assistant Professor in 1998. His research group is mainly interested in materials physics and chemistry, broadly looking at the optical, structural and mechanical properties of materials at the microscopic levels under extreme pressures or temperature. After a few years of joining JNCASR, he developed keen interest in Biology, especially, Protein Structure function and Disease Diagnostics using Raman spectroscopy. Prof. Narayana has been recognized through various awards such as the Sir C.V. Raman Young Scientist Award, Materials Research Society of India, Bronze Medal, MRSI-ICSC Super Conductivity and Material Science Senior Award, Mizushima-Raman Lectureship, Platinum Jubilee Lecture Award of the Indian Science Congress, He is a Fellow of National Academy of Sciences, India. He is also Fellow of Royal Society of Chemistry, UK and Fellow of Indian Academy of Science, Bangalore.
