    Chintamani Nagesa Ramachandran Rao (C.N.R. Rao) was born on 30 June in Bengaluru. In he completed Ph.D at the age of twenty-four in 2 years 9 months. He is an Indian chemist and researcher worked specially in solid-state and structural chemistry. He currently serves the position of the Head of the Scientific Advisory Council to the Prime Minister of India.

    His major contribution is to the development of the field of chemistry. Rao was the first person to synthesize two-dimensional oxide materials – La2CuO4. Due to his work we can easily study the composition of controlled metal–insulator transitions. This study has a deep impact in application fields like high temperature superconductivity and resistance. He has made huge contributions in field of nanomaterial & hybrid materials.

    He is working in the National Research Professor & Honorary President of Jawaharlal Nehru Centre for Advanced Scientific Research, Bangalore. He is also serving the position of t
